I migliori ristoranti di cucina spagnola a Kirkland

The ambiance was great, it’s a very small romantic dinner experience with great service and wonderful food. I really loved how the wait staff explained what each dish was when they brought it out so there was no guessing what any of the elements were on our plates! I absolutely plan to go again

Look, I judge restaurants by the food primarily. So the small things I prefer or don't like about noise, value, or service timing matter, but not that much. Because the food at Terra Plata was really really good. We had one course from each quadrant of the menu (starter, earth, land, sea), and they were all good. We had the albracore crudo (really really good despite finding one pinbone), shishito peppers (normally an afterthought at restaurants - not here, the spices added a lot of depth), and the truffle and mushroom risotto (perfect texture). The land course (portuguese roast pig) was probably the only disappointment because it just wasn't as much of a flavor bomb as we expected from the ingredient's listed and just lacked something special. But it was still quite good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. And finally, the dessert (Basque Cheesecake) was amazing. No store bought pre-made dessert here. Unbelievable texture and the blood orange caramel was perfectly balanced. Tiny notes: the food comes out as it's done, which sometimes leads to awkward timing unless you plan what makes sense to have in what order. The service is good, but the restaurant was busy and you won't have them checking on you often. Not inherently an issue - I would rather have someone bothering me less than more. And we did find a pin bone in the crudo. But overall, it's a place I would recommend to foodies.

Food was good but food service was painfully slow, though we understand we came on a busy night. Waiter offered port as an apology but still, for the omakase price, it's disappointing. Also we were asked still or sparking when we sat down and didn't realize until we got the bill we were charged for ordering sparkling! Genuinely nuts, have never had this happen at an upscale restaurant. It's fine if it costs extra, but you got to let customers know first.

GREAT wine selection and good place if you love great wine but don't really know how to talk about it (like me). Great entrees and Tapas to go with. We'll be back!
