This is our second time at Terrapin. It was as good or better the second time. We went during happy hour and what a deal! Two drinks, two apps, and two 1/2 portion homemade pastas for 64$! The best happy hour in town. Hands down.

We went for the first time tonight and it will not be our last. My husband had his birthday yesterday and we went for his annual special Italian dinner for him! He and my son both had chicken Parmesan and the chicken was so very tender!! I had the pomadora and the seafood was cooked perfectly! We will definitely be going back!

Beautiful atmosphere hands down! Services was great and the vibe was amazing. The food..Brussel sprouts were delicious. Fritto misto was so so as the breading wasn’t crisp and I only had 2-3 shrimp. Very disappointing. Ravioli was so so. After sitting for a few moments it was tough to cut. Ordered gelato for dessert and it was okay. I’ve def had better. I’d definitely recommend for the ambiance, drinks and lite bite. Didn’t order an entree but I will def get pizza next time. The wood burning stove was fired up all night. Special added touch was the piano music. The pianist played some beautiful songs. Would def go again and explore the menu more!

My wife and I enjoy experiencing new restaurants and we have experienced many great restaurants, but then we met Charlie at River Stone Chophouse. It was our first time and we were initially impressed with everything from the building itself, the interior, the lighting, the music, the warm, friendly greeting at the door by the girl who was up front...but Charlie really sealed the deal. Charlie had such a smooth approach and introduction as he introduced us to many different options and the steak board. We felt welcome and comfortable, as if Charlie was an old family member. If all the other staff is on par with Charlie, we will definitely look forward to dining here again. I can honestly say that I have never had such a pleasant experience in any restaurant I have dined at. Thank you.
