Terrace 360, Downtown - Closed
I had a late dinner at this restaurant in the Bank of America building (past home of Harvey's Bistro) last Saturday after the ballet. It's still in it's dry run. They didn't alter much. It's still one of the prettier settings downtown. They have one area that looks like the formal dining area. It's very white and modern. The remainder is a bar area with conventional tables and high tops. They have many flatscreens and a hand shuffleboard table. It is a guys place. The food was surprisingly good. The ahi tuna tacos at $9 were phenomenal. It's an appetizer but could be an entree. The tuna was barely seared. It was a pretty good cut (a few shreds of cartridge). The soft tortillas had grill marks. The lettuce was cut into squares. Somehow this made it more flavorful than shredding does. It had some avocado in it. The wasbai mayo was the perfect compliment. Nothing new (except the shape of the lettuce), but, it just worked better than I can recall. I also had a wedge salad for $6. I couldn't tell if it was bibb or iceberg. It worked. They served 3 smaller wedges instead of 1 big one. It came with crisp bacon pieces and blue cheese crumbles. The dressing was blue cheese. The service was great and the ownership seemed engaged. It's a great value. I think the most expensive thing was a steak at $20. Most apps were around $5. Most entrees in the low teens. Drinks were only $6 (premium brands). This has to be where you end your day if you work in the area or where you start your evening if you are seeing a show. You can even save $5 in parking if you park on this side of the tracks. I think they have even better pricing during happy hour. I didn't even mention the beautiful palm lined patio. I highly recommend it.
