terrain garden cafe

poor customer service. we decided to come to thiscafeon a thursday afternoon (4:40 pm) and we had been planning on it for a while since it had such good reviews. my friend said last time she came she didn’t need a reservation so we showed up in a group of 4. there were seats open all over the cafe; indoor and outdoor. the lady at the reception said we cannot be seated anywhere because all the spots are reserved. i told her we would not sit for long and would be okay with a single seat in an area where an employee had been eating. she said that section is closed. i have been to cafes all around the world and never been told to leave when almost every single table was open. this just shows how much value thecafeputs on their customers. no matter how well known your service is, you need to treat every customer as if you just opened your spot (business 101). if there is a reservation policy please put it as a description for your service. my friends and i decided to never come back to it and will be telling our networks as well.

great crew, design, layout and the food is excellent! a fun place to meet freinds for coffee or really good tea!. a beta test site of a great shopping experience in the future that is here now! be amazed, take out your camera or smartphone and take pictures here! you will probably go away with 1,2, or 3 really nice design ideas. stop in thecafeand have some really well made coffee, tea french fries, and deserts! this is what starbucks claims to be but misses the bulls-eye.... wifi and leave with the feeling you have been with nature and actually you have! the staff is pure first class!

terrain’scafeis filling a need in westport. ingredients-driven, thoughtful, well cooked food served in a serene setting--there isn’t enough of it here. service is friendly but polished, and dishes exit steadily from the kitchen. the downsides? parking spaces are precious (complimentary valet parking is also available) and at lunchtime terrain gets busy. the restaurant spills out into an outdoor cafe, but when the weather turns, the cafe’s capacity will be cut in half. and finally, the bill. it comes tucked in a pocket-sized field guide which is precious until you see it. prepare for sticker shock. though locally sourced and worthy, this food comes at a cost. even at lunch, entrees top out at $24. (a glance at the dinner menu revealed a $41. lamb dish.) regardless, terrain’scafeis absolutely worth a visit not only for the atmosphere, but to experience what new ideas chef wolfson will bring to the table with him next.

the café burger is a must try on this menu. it is exceptionally juicy and oozing with flavors of caramelized onions, mushrooms, white cheddar and horseradish aioli.
