We ate on the "bistro" side of the restaurant. It's a beautiful space with a large bar and a good amount of tables. It was busy, but not crowded. Our server, Nickolas, greeted us warmly and was able to seat us right away. The food was amazing! We shared some appetizers and had the salmon entree in lemon-caper sauce and the vegetarian red beans and rice. It's so nice to find a vegetarian entree that doesn't feel like an afterthought or like it's trying to be a spin-off of a meat dish. It was filling and loaded with different proteins. The menu is LARGE and it was hard to choose. Service was so efficient that it seemed effortless. Nickolas was always smiling. It was a little noisy, but it's such a beautifully weird space that noise must be impossible to control. Highly recommended.

We had the Prix Fixe' dinner for Valentine's Day. The food was excellent and the flavor profile very well layered and nuanced. In specific we chose the Grouper and Filet Mignon options. The tapas for appetizer were varied and just the right amount for a starter. Some of the preparation elements (sauces and purees) are available on the regular dinner menu. Note, The Terrapin has both a Bistro and Fine Dining section, this was in the Fine Dining section. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
We went to Terrapin for the Valentine’s Day Prix Fixe menu. It was 2 courses plus desert. The first course was tapas, and the second we had a wide array of choices. We both chose the short ribs and honestly everything was tasty. The desert we could take or leave - chocolate orange mousse and red velvet brownie with raspberry ice cream - both were only ok. The downside to all of this was price. We ordered the cheapest half bottle of wine possible and still walked out of there at $120 pp after tip. Despite the food being good, it was simply too expensive for what we got. I’ll still give it 4 stars for good food and solid service but we probably won’t be returning any time soon.

A nicely decorated large space. Unfortunately, the food was basic and not good enough for the price. The service was the biggest issue. It was painfully slow. Finally, we declined having dessert and asked for the check. Despite having declined the dessert the waiter brought us some cake because we “must have it” which is a nice gesture, but he did not bring the check as well. We had to ask for the check again and the whole ordeal took about extra 30 minutes we had to stay in the restaurant for a dessert we did not want and after we asked for the check so we could leave.

This is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been too. We had the steak sandwich and the Nashville chicken sandwich. Both were awesome. We also had the drunken shrimp app and OMGGGG. Amazing. 10 out of 10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I don't get why people like this place so much. Maybe restaurant has better cooks (we ate at bistro), but when we went to have lunch, the food was a big letdown. The fish and chips had undercooked butter, and the eggplant sandwich was too greasy and tasted bland. To make matters worse, the place looked shabby, with peeling paint and an overall sense of neglect. Don't be fooled by the good reviews and the nice exterior. You can find better food for less money elsewhere. Yes, this place is not great, and it's pricey. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1
