Best Healthy Restaurants in Lake Stevens

Look, I judge restaurants by the food primarily. So the small things I prefer or don't like about noise, value, or service timing matter, but not that much. Because the food at Terra Plata was really really good. We had one course from each quadrant of the menu (starter, earth, land, sea), and they were all good. We had the albracore crudo (really really good despite finding one pinbone), shishito peppers (normally an afterthought at restaurants - not here, the spices added a lot of depth), and the truffle and mushroom risotto (perfect texture). The land course (portuguese roast pig) was probably the only disappointment because it just wasn't as much of a flavor bomb as we expected from the ingredient's listed and just lacked something special. But it was still quite good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. And finally, the dessert (Basque Cheesecake) was amazing. No store bought pre-made dessert here. Unbelievable texture and the blood orange caramel was perfectly balanced. Tiny notes: the food comes out as it's done, which sometimes leads to awkward timing unless you plan what makes sense to have in what order. The service is good, but the restaurant was busy and you won't have them checking on you often. Not inherently an issue - I would rather have someone bothering me less than more. And we did find a pin bone in the crudo. But overall, it's a place I would recommend to foodies.

We love Terracotta Red! Food and service, especially for a busy night were top notch. We had crab puffs, spicy wontons, red curry, drunken chicken, tangerine beef, empress noodles and cucumber salad. Our party of 4 left happy and full.

We had made reservations for Valentine’s Day and were in a list to get a later time. I received a notice to let me switch to a more preferred time very easily! We sat in the lounge since we arrived earlier and the server was extremely personable. After we received our drinks we were brought to our table by a window which I had asked to have if possible. Great! Our server was very polite, professional and provided us with a nice experience. Our meals were delicious and the evening was lovely.

Was lucky enough to have chef Shiro himself. Every bite was exquisite! It's an experience and excellent meal.

Attentive waitstaff, generous portions, easy to get reservations.
