Shoreline​のベストファーム・トゥ・テーブルレストラン

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.

2120 has a quiet, intimate atmosphere. We started our dinner with a half dozen Washington Oysters, which were fresh and delicious! Afterwards we ordered the potato gnocchi to share. For our mains I ordered the Scallops, and my wife ordered the New York steak. Everything we ate was wonderful and our server was professional and friendly. I highly recommend 2120 if you are looking to create a memorable dinner!

We were seated at our reservation time at a table for two with a beautiful view. The dining area was quiet away from bar and kitchen. Our server, Kate B., was attentive and helpful. She was friendly but professional. Her manner interested but not intrusive. We appreciated her service. The food was delicious-always. I tried a speciality cocktail-Valentine Bee(?). Very tasty. A wonderful evening!

Autumn is not struggling to bring in customers. Every seat was full, as was the bar, and there was a private party in the back room. There was a lot of energy and an overall good vibe. It felt at times that they were running at least one staff member short. There were frequent pile-ups at the check in desk because the host was also functioning as a server. This wouldn't be so bad if there was anywhere to wait, but there isn't (unless you want to wait outside). The food was good - we liked the Brussels sprouts and polenta fries appetizers. The steak that came to the table was under the requested medium. My wife's pasta arrived several minutes after the other entrees and was a little more al dente than she's accustomed to. We didn't send either back since we didn't know how long it would take for them to come back out. We'll still come back to Autumn, but this wasn't their best outing.

Great food to go along with great service!
