A Bold Vision by Gino Vian

Spanning an impressive 7,000 square feet, Terra has been brought to life through the creative genius of renowned Houston-based artist and architect Gino Vian. The venue seamlessly marries modern design with timeless sophistication. Guests are welcomed into a dual-concept space—a sleek, casual front dining area for early evening meals and a sultry, speakeasy-inspired lounge at the rear, perfect for late-night mingling, entertainment, and curated nightlife experiences including music and hookah.

A Culinary Journey Through French-American Fusion

Helmed by a team of culinary innovators, Terra's kitchen offers an elevated menu fusing French and American influences with a Houston twist. Signature dishes include:

Prawns and Polenta – Luxuriously creamy and flavorful.

Stroganoff Pasta – A gourmet spin on a comfort classic.

Roasted Honey Garlic Rack of Lamb – Rich, aromatic, and tender.

Steak Pour La Nuit – A 9oz prime filet mignon with au poivre sauce and crispy frites.

Lighter bites include the Petite Salata and Classic Caesar Salata, while standout starters like the Crab and Cheese Garlic Knots and French Dip Sandwich with shaved prime rib and aioli horseradish bring comfort food to new heights.

And don’t skip dessert—Crème Brûlée and Coconut Panna Cotta headline a sweet ending to an indulgent evening.
