Lobby Bar & Terrace

Lobby Bar was full of fun on New Years Eve - no "ball drop" or anything I can remember. Good bar food and drink for the rest of 2023. Despite the chaotic fun service was good - certainly good enough. Nice, slightly crisp weather made the terrace a good place to hang out. Only thing to make it better might be a few more tall chairs for the tables.

Fun afternoon visiting the Terranea Resort (specifically the lobby bar during the holidays). The Gingerbread Lounge was so cute, with lovely holiday-themed cocktails with glitter, sprinkles, and other fun vibes. Beautiful view from the terrace - grab your drink and soak up the sun and view of the Rancho PV cliffs and the Pacific Ocean!

The seating was comfortable, and I enjoyed the live music on the quieter nights, including Andy and Renee and the violinist who loops (I don't recall her name but she was great). I would have tried the food for dinner, but the servers never asked if I wanted to order any food on the three nights I was there. I did order a drink once after I managed to flag down a server. But after an hour, they never came back to check on me or bring the check. So I had to go to the bar to find them and sign the check.

Ambiance is great, food just ok, server did not check on us even once. I've eaten here twice and had the same server both times. Both times she never checked on us. We only got the food and the bill. We ended up staying way longer than we wanted to because we could not locate her to get the check.That's not even why I'm writing this review. We sat on the patio couches, not planning on eating originally but got a few things to share. 4 adults and 4 kids all under 3 years old.The server charged us $34.80 for being a large group AND another $34.80 for mandatory tip (none of these were mentioned on the menu or to us). It took so long to get the bill that we just paid without looking because the kids were fussing.I called right after I left and spoke to the manager to make sure this was correct and she said it absolutely wasn't and asked me to email her the receipt to correct it. I immediately sent it while we were on the phone. Manager never bothered to respond and never corrected the charge. [email protected] Extremely disappointed.Now about the food:The only thing I ordered for my daughter was the burger and fries because she doesn't eat pizza so there was nothing else for her to eat. The burger has a spicy sauce so it went completely untouched. I still was ok paying bc we ordered it. Ok fineCalamari was good. Waygu was still mooing. Completely undercooked. The waitress would have been told this if we had been checked on.lol I just noticed we got taxed on the gratuity as well. Nice.

Great wine list, a variety of cocktail options and the most beautiful view! Pricing is high, but it's what you expect for the location of where you are. Love the fire pits outside or the ability to go for a sunset walk with a drink in hand. Great hidden gem for locals in the South Bay to just relax with some drinks!

Super service. Amazing views out through Terranea. The hostess went out of her way to help me secure a large area on the patio with a fire pit big enough for 10-11 people. The timing worked out, the staff helped move chairs and the wait staff were super attentive, very patient with a large party and the orders came out quickly and correct. I love everything at Terranea and the Lobby Bar doesn't disappoint. If you're gonna hang around the property after the dinner reservation or your hike...this is a great spot to take it all in.

I went to the Lobby Bar to work instead of working from home. Best decision ever! I sat by the fire which was such a treat on this windy day and it was the perfect vibe. My server Camryn was beyond amazing. She was attentive, knowledgeable and funny! She recommended the Firelight margarita and tuna tartare so I ordered just that and was so impressed! My WFH days are about to turn into WFLB days

During my recent visits to Terrena Lobby Bar and Terrace, I was treated to what can only be described as an exemplar of hospitality. From the moment I stepped in, it was clear that the bar prides itself on its management and service. The staff was not just attentive but seemed to possess an almost telepathic ability to anticipate my needs before I was even aware of them myself. Whether it was a refill, drink, or suggesting a snack, their timing was impeccable.The ambiance of Terrena adds to its charm, with a cozy fireplace that invites relaxation and an ocean view that is breathtaking. It's a perfect blend of comfort and scenic beauty, making it an ideal spot for both casual visits and special occasions.However, perfection is elusive, and it's in the spirit of constructive feedback that I must mention the furniture... While the hotel lobby does have a very nice aesthetic, some of the furniture is showing some signs of wear and could benefit from some refurbishment and/or replacement. It's a small detail in the grand scheme however addressing it would surely enhance the overall experience for guests as a first impression when they walk into the hotel Despite this minor critique, Its strengths far outweigh this small opportunity for improvement, and I eagerly look forward to my next visit.

Was a very busy Saturday night to stop by for evening, drinks, music - with a party of 8 to enjoy the sunset. Quite a pretentious crowd, unfortunate! Not representative of the wedding parties going on.

Amazing ambiance, fabulous drinks and bartenders. Great lobby menu......Love the outdoor terrace and tables by the fireplace on colder nights......Need I say more? Its a great meetup place for coworkers, a date etc.Highly recommend.......
