    A lovely venue, clean modern and well decorated. Food was only fair and given this is restaurant is expensive its not worth the price tag. Cocktail was good, ambience is good, but . . . . . .

    Dear Lizzie, Thank you for your feedback of Terra Mare. Although I'm pleased to read that you enjoyed parts of your meal, I'm very surprised that you feel it isn't worth the price-tag considering I asked as you were leaving and you said that you enjoyed the meal. I'd be keen to understand where you feel we could've improved service-wise, as you've only provided 3/5 here. We of course would've appreciated an opportunity to rectify any shortfalls at the time of your meal, rather than being told that you enjoyed on the day and then receiving a disappointing review a few days later. In any case, I do hope you return in future and give us another shot. Kind regards, Daf

    Hi there, Thank you for your review of Terra Mare. I'd appreciate it if you could breakdown what parts of the service you found were slow, as we don't feel this is reflective of your actual experience. I will be reaching out to you in the coming days to discuss further and see where we can improve. Kind regards, Daf

    Small menu but dishes executed really well. Burrata was full of flavour and beef on the Sunday lunch was exceptional. Roast potatoes could be more fluffy and gently crispy, they felt deep fried. But overall the service and quality of food was well worth the visit

    First time visiting and really impressed. We've tried a lot of places for Sunday lunch and this is up there with the best. It's not cheap but lovely quality food. Starters were served quickly, the burrata was a lovely fresh dish and the meatball was moist and full of flavour. Mains were excellent, the beef was particularly good. Only slight criticism is that more gravy should be provided when meals are served.
