Frommer's Review
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. The restaurant is the creation of Lissa Doumani and her husband, Hiro Sone, a master chef and James Beard Award winner from Japan. 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 tend to be fantastic and range from understated and refined, as in the broiled sake-marinated cod with shrimp dumplings and shiso broth, to outrageously robust, as in the petit ragout of sweetbreads, prosciutto, mushroom, and white truffle oil. Save room for dessert (or force it down even if you overeat). Doumani's tiramisu is exceptional. The dining room, with fieldstone walls, is at once rustic and romantic.
