A comfortable favorite, we go often, take friends

We took our best friends, Jan and Steve, out to eat here. They moved to Montana, came back for the winter and needed a treat. To celebrate we took them to Terra, one of our favorites and new to them. I did a quick “My Open Table” reservation and emailed our friends a copy. We tried the Nobilo ’08 Sauvignon Blanc, very good, and enjoyed the Chateau St. Jean Fume Blanc with dinner.

The dining room is comfortably elegant with a choice of booth or table. Chef Jeff Rossman stopped by our table. We enjoyed talking about shows on the Food Network and if what happened in his kitchen came anywhere near to the TV shows. Chef Jeff said sometimes it was exactly like TV, everything was in rapid motion to meet the full dining room and their catering orders. We thanked him for both the food and stopping to talk.

Salty peppery calamari

with garlic, green onion and chili flakes. Best I have eaten, highly recommended.

Crab Cakes

Coconut dusted with hot mustard on the side: Excellent, Jan said the best she had ever had.

House Arugula Salad

With radicchio, gorgonzola cheese, candied pecans, honey walnut: I loved it, may go again just for this. Easily the best buy on the menu.

Bone-in Pork Chop

With caramelized sweet potato, apple-golden raisin chutney. Recommended by our waiter, Mathew. Excellent and amazing, three of us had it and loved every forkful. The wedge of sweet potato was fantastic. Steve substituted the roasted garlic potato mash which he said was delicious.

Bread Pudding

With butternut squash ice cream. Really good.
