Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge

I have dined here numerous times and nine times out of ten the food is fantastic! Like eat every single bite, lick your plate, and think about getting more food, type of good. However, there was a time when my husband ordered some sort of dip sandwich and found some bones in it. We informed the server and he asked if it was in the au jus --it was clearly too big to fit in the au jus bowl so that was odd. My husband told him no it was in the sandwich and the server apologized and that was it. Kind of awkward. Service is good, although usually a bit harried, especially at lunch. They seem to be understaffed during that time of the day.Dinner seems better, but there was one awkward time where two servers got into a heated tiff in front of my husband and me about who was supposed to take care of our table. Very uncomfortable and unprofessional. Other than that single experience service has been good. They often have live music and the setting is a nice indoor/outdoor type of feel. Most recently I dined here on a Monday holiday and again they seemed understaffed. I was taken care of by Mason the bartender. He was literally running. I had iced tea--sooooo delicious that I had three glasses and wanted another--and the Caesar salad with salmon added. The salmon smelled a bit funky upon arrival but it tasted perfect. The tomatoes in the salad--yummmm! Like a juicy tomato but with the delicious sun dried taste! They have lots of delicious options, with something for everyone. I can't wait to come back!

This was my Friday night, Sonoran restaurant week dinner. I was excited to come here as I had heard good reviews by word-of-mouth, but was confused with the ratings on Yelp, which seem to be lower. I decided to find out for myself. I was really happy when I got here to find that they had live music, which I had no idea about. The performers were super friendly and even approached our table to ask for requests. I had a server along with another one in training I believe. Both offered great service.When it came to ordering, I ordered the Sonoran restaurant week special, while my husband ordered off the menu. my husband ordered deviled eggs and a Sonoran hotdog which came with two sides (pictured). I tasted both and they were... OK. When it came to my Sonoran restaurant week, I ordered the pazole appetizer. It was great, no complaint. The meal however left much to be desired. The torta bread was plump and soft/crisp, but that first bite left me spiraling. It was a potato and chorizo hash, I believe, and the textures just did not seem to go along with the other condiments in the sandwich. The substance was very soft and mashed-like while there was crunchy bits of lettuce and onion. It was just odd to me. I knew I did not want another bite and spoke to the server to send it back, which I rarely do. I told him it did not need to be replaced, however, he really wanted to ensure I was happy and sent out a replacement. I picked the salmon dish under the Sonoran restaurant week. That one was better..not a 10 out of 10, but better. The dessert was good. It reminded me a bit of flan. My drink was also really good. I wanted a Mocktail, but something a little sweeter. Our two servers whipped something up that was amazing.The stand out from this restaurant was definitely the people and the service. They deserve all the stars. The food however, I feel what was lacking.

Came here with a friend for my birthday lunch. We both ordered hacienda green chilies nachos and were very disappointed with the lack for flavor, lack of sauce and cheese, and the very small portion of meat! We also shared a slice of avocado lime cheesecake and it was delish! No complain there. We both enjoyed their garden setting and surrounding view. If we do go again, it will be for the atmosphere more than the food, LOL.

The food at Terraza was of mixed quality, but the service, setting and drinks were outstanding. My wife and I stayed at Hacienda del Rio, and dined outside at the Terraza patio around 7:30pm our first night there (Wednesday). There were probably only 8 other parties at tables, mostly indoors, and service was attentive and prompt.We started off with the Tamari Brussels Sprouts, which were probably the best Brussels we've had anywhere. The Guacamole was also very good. Unfortunately, the food quality went downhill from there.My wife ordered the Lomo Adabado en Salsa Verde, and the pork was purportedly a "tenderloin" but it was not tender and it was full of gristle; she only ate maybe half of the meat. I ordered the Hacienda Street Tacos, with Braised Beef Birria, but found them rather dry and not very flavorful (consistent with what others have noted).However, the cocktails were fantastic! My wife had the Nobleman margarita on the rocks and I had the Isles of Agave (mezcal) served up. They also offer a large selection of spirits, including several tequilas, mezcals and interesting variants. I particularly enjoyed a stand-alone pour of the raicilla (which I had never even heard of before).Being from the Seattle area, it was especially nice to dine outdoors in late March. They have about a dozen patio heaters that they can wheel into service alongside any table on the patio, and they put one right behind my wife, making it very comfortable. There is a pretty good view of the mountains from the patio, but we had a better view from our room. Given our initial experience with the food vs. the drinks, we re-ordered the drinks to take back to our room two nights later to accompany a couple of bowls we ordered from Blanco Cocina via DoorDash on Friday.

Having been married here three years ago, we come back occasionally to have lunch or dinner. Memories are great and the view is always spectacular. This was a lovely January afternoon and we came for lunch and wished there were more umbrellas/covered places to sit outside. Since we didn't want to eat in full sun, we sat inside which was okay and our server Chelsea was great - prompt and super kind. Lunch was a swordfish sammie and a salad for the hubs and the Ahi Poke app for me. Both were fresh and yummy. Chocolate cake was good but not a highlight for us. Overall, good food and a nice experience on a lovely AZ day.

I came here for Tiki Tuesday and was able to hit the very tail end of HH tonight. The tiki calamari was a small portion and really good. The tiki mahi tacos were just 2 tacos and ok. The sangria from the HH menu tasted like a mimosa until the very end when the peach flavor came through. It was good though. I didn't like the 2 tiki drinks I tried. The mai tai was way too sour. The Makai was bitter. Both tasted like bottom shelf alcohol.The patio was super busy and I loved the live mellow steel drum music. Probably because of how busy it was, we had to flag down servers all night and barely saw our server.

The service and ambiance were great. So why did the food have to be so...gross? Do not eat here unless you like very strong fishy smells and taste, rubbery chicken, and blah salad with brown bits of lettuce.

I wanted to start off with some positives, but I'm afraid there weren't many. I think the bar was 5*, but we were only there 15 minutes. When I checked in with the host the young man said "is outside okay?" I had made the reservation only a few days before and the clientele was definitely older so I said that was fine (big mistake). They sat us on the patio next to a heater, but the cold wind was to my left and the heater was to the right, so I was feeling very little heat. We got menus and water then waited ... waited ... waited. Likely around 20 minutes later I went inside and told a manager, and the woman we had been watching go from table to table came over and started waiting on us. We don't know if they neglected to assign us wait staff and nobody waiting on people outside took the initiative to talk to us, or if this woman was supposed to be our waitress the whole time and just ignored us. I was excited to try the pasta, which they were out of, so I reluctantly got the tacos. I say reluctantly since I can get tacos anywhere and it was Christmas and we were at a resort! I was shivering by this point. I just had a light jacket. The tables next to us had eldely people at them and I could hear them talk about how uncomfortable they were. Guests were passing around a heavy blanket and in one instance a few people from the table next to us walked over to another heater to get warm. My tacos were good, but hardly worth the hour wait at this point. I could get those same tacos most places in 10 minutes. My husband ordered the barria quesadilla and although he said they were good, they looked burned. He confirmed that the bottom side did taste burned. I had to go to the bathroom so while my husband finished eating I went inside to find half the tables empty. I was so upset! I had been shivering outside for well over an hour at this point, and the warm enclosed patio portion had a lot of empty tables. If I had been the manager at this establishment I would have gone table to table outside to ask if anyone wanted to move inside. Nobody did that for anyone outside. The hotel the next day asked how my stay was and I told them this restaurant was 6/10 stars. A manager from the restaurant called me right then, but I was in a loud restaurant and asked him to call me in an hour. He never tried to call back. My husband and I stayed in this resort for 2 nights and never ate there again after our horrible experience. My husband and I highly suggest the establishments down at the main intersection just 1.5 miles from the hotel. We ate in those places the rest of our stay.

Food was terrible. Ask for a quiet table and was seated right in front of the band! Waiter was less than professional and definitely not friendly. Moved to the Lounge for dessert and coffee with Jensen as our server, he is outstanding! He was our server prior to dinner for apps and drinks and did not disappoint. Jensen is a keeper and saved the night!!! Definitely would not recommend Terrazo, maybe try the Grill.

If you've been to France and had steak frites, you'll probably be disappointed with their version. Steak was tough and the picanha sauce was odd and didn't do anything to accentuate the taste of the meat. The frites were thin and boring. I would suggest you order something else.
