   Service was slow, it kind of expected. Food was good. Will visit again.

   The atmosphere, food and service were lovely. And while slightly overpriced, the venue and experience are the perfect combination with a night at the show. My only real complaint was that my first margarita came with no salt in the rim even though I'd asked specifically. I want it back and the second came back with minimal salt and was very watered down. I didn't end up drinking more than 1/4 of it.

   Considering the price, the food was disappointing. They need a better chef. Salmon was a bit dry. The Lamb Shank was not tender and too well done. I had asked for medium rare lamb and was told it would be. The hostesses and servers are all awesome. I would go again only for convenience when I have tickets to the Masters of Pagents. But next time I will only order a salad...it's difficult for a salad to not be ok.

   We ate at the restaurant last summer during the Pageant of the Masters and it was wonderful. This year our we were disappointed. The music was so loud we could not speak comfortably to each other. It was very distracting. The service was ok but not outstanding like last year. The waiter last year took his time going over the menu with us and whatever it was we ordered was great. I had the lamb shanks this year and was disappointed because it had no flavor. My husband complained that the chicken he ordered also lacked flavor. We ordered side salads and they were great! We were just disappointed with our main dishes.

   My friends and I were excited to have dinner at Terra Laguna before Pageant of the Masters. It was also an our friend’s 70th birthday celebration dinner.I understand that there can be issues with “nature” when dining outside but the bees were relentless. Our waiter brought out a candle that was supposed to help with the issue. We spent so much time trying to avoid the bees (I am allergic and fearful of getting stung)that we really couldn’t enjoy our meals. The manager came over and brought more candles (they did not work)but refused to move us to another table even though there were other tables open. We just wanted to finish our meals comfortably. This is a late review but hopefully a situation like this will be addressed differently in the future.

   The salmon that I had was quite good, but my fiancée’s shrimp scampi was only average; and the service was uneven….Still worth our while, especially because of the location.

   They will NOT seat a reservation for 1, they make you sit at the bar! Even though there was only 5 occupied tables and an empty restaurant. The bar had 7 very tight bar seats together. I squeezed in and was hit by the chairs to my left and right when anyone moved. They had a major bee problem. Very hazardous for someone allergic to bees. 2 bar staff for restaurant and bar. They did a fabulous job considering the bees and the amount drinks requested. Bread should only be set out if requested. So many baskets got sent back. Calamari and creme brulee was delicious. Overall, would definitely not come back by myself if I can't enjoy a table setting.

    Lovely setting over looking the art installations with a hill background. Good selection of items but very pricey. The entrees no longer include a side salad. If you split a meal with someone be prepared to split it yourself at the table. They no longer do that in the kitchen. The rolls are warm and delicious.
