This restaurant never disappoints. You are greeted very warmly by the hostess, the servers are efficient and also friendly. And the food! From the house made foccacia bread to everything on the menu, you will be blown away. My husband had the Scallops and I had the Short Rib. Amazing! The ambiance is cozy like something out of a quaint French Bistro. Absolutely our favorite restaurant in CT.

We ate outside yesterday and the vibe, though different from the cafe, was fabulous. We have been coming to Terrain Westport since it opened and are ardent supporters of the store and cafe. Thanks!

The food and service are excellent. I find it to be the best mediterranean restaurant in Fairfield County. The patio area is particulary nice though perhaps don't have music on in that area when you have music on in the main dinning part.

You just can’t go wrong with this restaurant. We have had everything from private events, simple pub food and gourmet meals here and it’s always just terrific. Theresa took great care of us and made a wedding anniversary dinner perfect. She and all the staff are really amazing. The food is always great. If you haven’t tried the brunch yet- you are missing out. Then, to top it off, the view is spectacular. This is just a super well run restaurant at a beautiful golf course. The management and all the staff really do a great job here.

Had a great low-key Monday evening meal. Beautiful evening outside. Perfect service. All food was great: fried pickles (!); sliders w/roquefort; fish & chips; spinach (!). Excellent Old Fashioned and very nice glass of Hanzell Chardonnay, finished with a very good cappuccino. Perfect experience after a weekend of travel.

My new favorite restaurant. Delicious food, yummy drinks, great service , and beautiful restaurant on the inside with a lovely patio on the outside. We will be going there again many times to try all the items on the menu. Highly recommended going there.
