The Scene
Three warm-hued dining areas and a large front patio constitute this comfortably chic atmosphere for casual weekday get-togethers and more intimate affairs. Rustic touches of exposed brick, country flowers, and shelves upon shelves of wine bottles soften the modern angular wooden tables and leather-covered banquettes. An open kitchen and functioning fireplace lend subtle touches of drama.
The Food
Chef Mark Gordon's plays liberally with herbs and spices in his inspired small plate menu. Traces of fresh oregano punctuate Coco Blanc beans, heirloom tomatoes and ricotta. Chive spikes and a drizzle of creme fraiche adorn ribbons of house-cured salmon and cucumber; and olive charmoula adds punch to a chunk of grilled halibut atop al dente chick peas. Strawberry shortcake provides an appropriate finish with cardamom-spiked biscuits beneath a glistening robe of fresh strawberries and peaches.

We loved our dinning experience at Terzo in large due part to the yummy food & our outstanding server Ron. The homemade pita & humus is a must have - the pita is warm & pillowy soft & the humus is creamy & flavorful. The chicken spiedini is melt in your mouth good & like nothing I have ever had. I would definitely go back to Terzo for the mouth watering foods (local & organic is always a plus!) and the terrific service (not pushy, but very attentive & knowledeable)!

I went with two girlfriends on a Friday night before going out. We ordered what we thought would be enough food, but left very hungry by the end and had to get pizza later that night. The food was quite tasty, and the wine list was better than average, but the prices are way too high for the amount of food on the plates. I would only recommend this place if you were going out for a glass of wine and an appetizer BEFORE you go out to eat elsewhere.

I love this place! I realize some people wrote they had a bad experience, however I loved my meal so much I had to write. The ambience and service was good. I don't drink wine but my firends liked theirs fine. Great location too.
