Ambiance was excellent. There is sufficient space between tables. The decor is more favourable than the photos on the website. Parking is free and there is a lot of it. Alan's service was excellent. He was polite, helpful and attentive. Food was very tasty. The Arancini was fabulous. Veal Parmigiana was great and just the right serving size. Unfortunately my orange glazed salmon was missing any glaze. When I asked why I could not taste orange, Alan brought me some orange sauce, from the kitchen. It did not resemble a glaze at all. Overall the meal was very good.

From start to finish Terrain exceed all of our expectations. Three of us went for the first time to celebrate a Birthday and needless to say we were wowed right from the start. They have a cozy intimate bar located outside of the main dining room which was the perfect place to start the evening. The cocktails were inventive and delicious and the staff were warm and welcoming. Upon being seated we were told about a blind tasting menu (5 courses) which we opted to go for as the menu looked so good we could not decide on one thing. Each dish brought to our table was even better than the last. Very well thought out and plated beautifully, with all portions being the perfect size. The wine list is also diverse and reasonably priced, we enjoyed a lovely Syrah from Stratus Winery which is located right next door to the hotel. Overall it was a perfect experience and we cannot wait for the next time we can head back to Terrain. Kudos to the Management and the Team!

Hands down the best dining experience ever. Chef Roderick and our server Sharafat took us on a journey with each course they served us. Every bite you can taste the passion and thought that goes into every dish. Truly an incredible experience and one that we will be back to experience again.

Our group of 4 had the utmost pleasure of being seated in Max’s section this evening and I'm not sure this restaurant's customer service can be topped. Between the Kelly’s Landing staff, food, and ambience, you can't ask for a better experience. However, it was truly our server Max working this particular evening that tied everything together to make our dinner memorable. Between the quality checks, small talk, menu knowledge, and attentiveness to our table, it's no wonder the place was packed. Our group honestly left the dinner talking about how floored we were with the service. This experience has set the bar and made regular customers of us. Thank you Kelly’s Landing team!

It was lovely and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to celebrate something special, or is just a foodie with an appreciation for art. Food was fantastic - presentation, flavours, and creativity. The presentation was obviously out of this world and they deserve the Michelin recognition. The wine pairings were spot on as well. Service was something extraordinary. Decor, quality of the wines and the ambience were all exquisite. Thank you to the chefs and the whole team. We loved it.
