The FeastJune 14, 2011If you make it past the finishing line after wolfing down pot roast braised in Karl Strauss Amber Lager or Terra's famous pumpkin ravioli, ask for the chocolate cigar for dessert.

Shawna SAugust 4, 2011Great food...lavender crime brulee is wonderful...sadly, bait and switch on the free appetizer/25% off when you demonstrate your fouesquare check-in. :(
This place is wonderful! You don't need to be in the middle of the city to get a great meal!
Laura RubinsteinFebruary 8, 2010Owner/chef Jeff uses organic and locally grown veggies as much as possible in his cuisine. Also if you have a special need call him up a day ahead and he'll take care of you. Read more
Nadia R.January 20, 2013Food was excellent as well as the desserts! Service on the other hand was a 2 on a scale of 1-5 where 1 is Never Coming Back & 5 Outstanding all thanks to Nick. He was horrible! Guy w/accent better.
JuanitaJune 26, 2014Second time here should have never came back. Service is terrible, with the exception of the bus boy who is on top of things. The food was way to salty and the lemon ginger drink is way to sweet.
- Dangilo BrianSeptember 15, 2010Yumm-to the f'ing-O, I love burgers and this is one of the best in SanDiego.
Mara ParkerFebruary 4, 2012Service was poor and the skillet mac and cheese with truffle oil was awful

"Great eclectic menu with good veg and seafood options. Live music the night we visited added to the ambiance. Service attentive and helpful. Would visit again."

"After many kitchen incarnations, Arterra still adheres to clever, farm-to-table meals. Of late, we find Chef Tony Miller's crispy Peking duck tacos, butter-poached sea bass and super-hearty paella."

"Great craft tap menu!"
