More information on Terra Restaurant
Terra is one of my favorite restaurants because it manages to stay humble even though it serves some of the most extraordinary food in Northern California. Terra is the creation of Lissa Doumani and her husband, Hiro Sone, a master chef and James Beard Award-winner from Japan, who met more than 15 years ago when they worked together at Spago in L.A. The menu reflects Sone's full use of the region's bountiful fresh ingredients, and his formal training in classic European and Japanese cuisine. All the dishes here are good beyond belief, but they can be understated and refined, as in the broiled sake-marinated cod with shrimp dumplings and shiso broth, or outrageously flavorful, as in the petit ragout of sweetbreads, prosciutto, mushroom, and white truffle oil. I cannot express the importance of saving room for dessert (or forcing it down even if you overate). Doumani's recipes -- which include tiramisu and a heavenly orange risotto in a brandy snap cookie with passion-fruit sauce -- are some of the best I've ever tasted. The dining room, with fieldstone walls, is at once rustic and romantic. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
