Farm to table since 2016
Terra
Kitchen
Forty-two seats, one oak fire, and a menu that changes the week the farms change it. Three blocks off Lincoln Avenue, in Willow Glen.
Farms we buy from(6)
Stone Corral in Gilroy, Coyote Creek in South San Jose, Tilden Creek Ranch in Hollister, Harkins Slough in Watsonville, Cala Verde Creamery in Pescadero, and the Moss Landing day boats.
Dishes this week(23)
Written Tuesday morning, printed Tuesday afternoon, and true until the delivery van says otherwise. Read every one, with prices
One oak fire(1)
Live coals, red oak and almond wood, lit at two every afternoon. The artichokes, the branzino and the flatbread all come off it.
Seats(42)
A dining room quiet enough that a table of six can hear each other, and an eight-seat bar kept for walk-ins every night.
Until next
Tuesday
“We don’t write the menu and then go looking for the food. The food arrives, and then we write the menu.”
