The Best Restaurant in Malibu! Terra
Terra may very well be the best restaurant in Malibu…period. I ate there a few nights ago and was blown away by a 6 course sampler that Chris had prepared for my wife and I. We started with a Crab fritter just to get the taste buds primed. Next came a seared cajun albacore appetizer with a miso wasabi dressing on mixed greens. Then we were presented with a mixed variety micro green baby beet salad with a shaved, hard, goat-milk cheese and roasted pecans. Going for the fall flavors we next feasted on a wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil. Earthy, organic, and sweet with the unusual tingle in the palette from the truffle oil. The main course was a pounded filet mignon with a balsamic reduction and melted butter with blue cheese accompanied by some large wedge garlic fries. That steak has to be Malibu’s best kept secret! I have never had anything like and woke up the next morning thinking about it and every bite I had the night before. The texture was divine if you love sashimi or very rare meat. For dessert we finished the night with a blueberry tart with fresh whipped cream. Not to sweet with small ripe blueberries on top of a fresh crust.
