Reviews For Terra Cotta Inn

The Terra Cotta Inn is truly a hidden gem that never fails to impress. I have the pleasure of bringing my clients here once or twice a year, and each visit is a memorable experience. The ambiance is unmatched - nestled in a beautiful natural setting, in a small town and the serene atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. The falls colours are exceptionally beautiful on the drive in AND while dining outside - they have a generously sized patio. I usually opt for one of the daily specials, typically a seafood dish, and i am always delighted. The food never disappoints, it is consistently fresh, flavourful and beautifully plated. The creativity and quality in every dish reflect the chef’s dedication to making each meal special. My clients are always satisfied with their meals, and it is something we all look forward to. The service is warm and attentive without being overbearing, adding to the overall enjoyment of the afternoon. Whether it is for a special occasion or an important business lunch/dinner, the Terra Cotta Inn delivers every time, making it one of my favourite dining spots. Highly recommended and don’t forget to make a reservation!!

What a wonderful celebration we had for Mother's Day today. The atmosphere is great, I love all the antique furniture. The food was awesome and the dessert that I had (tiramisu) was perfection! The waitress was amazing, so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Terra Cotta Inn Restaurant.

This was my first time visiting in the summer, I had been in the winter once. The scenery it’s just stunning , surrounded by trees , so peaceful and beautiful but the food ... outstanding!. I had not had a meal this amazing in such a long time . I had the stuffed gnocchi... little pillows of heaven, they just melt in your mouth. Also their steak was incredible and grilled fish . We enjoyed every single bite. The service was outstanding, friendly, fast and efficient. We will definitely be back real soon.

Fantastic experience. I had the pleasure of dining here, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a delightful atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. The decor is charming, and the attention to detail enhances the overall aesthetic. The service was exceptional, and staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable afternoon. Karen (usual spelling, ) was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was exquisite ! The menu offers a diverse range of dishes. Each item er ordered was a culinary delight. I particularly enjoyed the halibut, which was a true standout. The presentation was beautiful, and the taste exceeded my expectations. Overall, I can confidently say that Terra Cotta Inn is a true ge.. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon for another exceptional meal.

Incredible food- from salad to dessert! Appreciate that it’s understated and solid- just delicious fresh/rich Italian food. No bells and whistles to distract you from what is most important. Victoria was our server- she was genuine and friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, gave us incredible recommendations. I will be back with my whole family!

A very wonderful experience visiting Terra Cotta Inn for the first time. We were greeted by the manager, Colleen when we first walked in with a warm greeting. The server was very informative providing us with the specials of the day and was very helpful with picking a wine pairing. The chef, Roberto went above and beyond cooking us a delicious home cooked meal. Everything was very delicious and we were treated like regulars even though it was our first time visiting. Definitely won’t be the last time as the food, staff, and ambiance were all perfect. Thank you to the entire staff for their hospitality and can’t wait to be back. Highly recommend. We drove from out of town and the drive to the restaurant was an experience itself. Wish I could give it a higher rating as 5 stars does not do justice.
