  Absolutely outstanding catering experience. They prepared a beautiful holiday dinner for 30 people, and every dish was delicious and perfectly executed. The charcuterie spread, short ribs, rosemary truffle potatoes, and flourless chocolate cake were all huge hits. They were also a dream to work with — kind, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful about allergies and preferences. Everything was handled seamlessly, which made the entire event stress-free. Exceptional food, exceptional people. We’ll absolutely use them again and highly recommend them.

  I was asked to plan a last minute holiday party and Terra Catering was able to squeeze us in for a drop off disposable order in 2 weeks. Jan was able to readjust our guest count a few times as the head count kept going up. Really appreciate their flexibility. After dinner, SO many of our guests were raving about the food being one of the best parts of the event. The black truffle oil they put on the potatoes smelled so good and all the proteins were so flavorful and juicy. Definitely will hire again if I plan another party.

  I've been a loyal Terra customer for over 20 years, since their original Hillcrest restaurant days. Sadly, whatever made Terra special is long gone. Our experience with them as the caterer for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah was nothing short of a disaster -- and the way they handled it (or rather, didn't) was appalling. We had major issues with both the service and overall professionalism, and I reached out multiple times asking for a conversation with the owner/chef. Not once did I receive a reply -- no call, no email, no acknowledgment of any kind. For a company I've supported for two decades, that kind of disregard is beyond insulting. Every other vendor from our event has followed up to ask how things went and to seek feedback. Terra? Silence. It's clear that the current staff and management simply don't care about their customers anymore. If you're reading this and considering hiring Terra -- don't be fooled by the old positive reviews. Those reflect a completely different era and a completely different team. The Terra that exists today is unrecognizable from the business it once was. I am in a position where I could refer them lots of business but now when anyone asks, my advice will be - AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. If you want details about what went wrong, feel free to reach out to me here through Yelp messaging -- I'm happy to share all the ugly details. By the way, it was so bad that we will likely end up in litigation. Who has the time or energy for that - learn from my mistake.

  Amazing service was received during our event. They showed up on very short notice, and took very good care of us! I would say extremely good care! The timing was perfect. Terra Catering came on time and everything was set up in advance and so the stress levels were at zero. Everyone enjoyed the food, the portion sizes were quite significant. People felt very nurtured, and enjoyed the delicious food! Thank you.
