" I had high expectations for La Gran Terraza based on previous reviews but left feeling a bit disappointed. While the view was indeed lovely and the food presentation top-notch, the flavors fell flat for my palate. I ordered the black cod and found it somewhat overcooked, lacking the freshness I anticipated. Service, too, was not as responsive as I would have liked. Perhaps I just hit an off day at the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set a wonderful tone for our meal. We were greeted by friendly staff and immediately sat by the window with a spectacular view of the canyon. I picked the wagyu steak frites, which was cooked to perfection, and my dining partner enjoyed homemade ravioli stuffed with fresh roasted vegetables—both were bursting with flavor! The downside was we did have to wait a bit for our drinks to arrive. Overall, it was a sumptuous feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at La Gran Terraza did not disappoint! Safe to say their use of local ingredients really shines through in their dishes. The atmosphere was relaxed yet upscale, and I appreciated the thoughtful presentation of each plate I tried. I had the ravioli which was bursting with flavors. My only wish was to have a dessert option that fit my dietary restrictions. Overall, highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at La Gran Terraza is generally good, my last visit left something to be desired. We encountered a longer wait time than expected; upon ordering our meals, it took nearly an hour before they arrived. When they finally did, our requests were mixed up, resulting in a slight disappointment. The outdoor seating with its incredible view remains a plus, but I hope they can work on their service efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried La Gran Terraza last weekend, and it was a real pleasure! The lunch buffet was not only robust but also reasonably priced. I loved the variety of cuisine available, from traditional salads to unique desserts. It struck the perfect balance of elegance and comfort, creating a lovely atmosphere to enjoy a meal with my family. I will certainly return for another delightful experience soon!

" I decided to take a break from work and treat myself to lunch at La Gran Terraza after hearing rave reviews from peers. The location is stunning, but that was about it. I ordered their shrimp louie and found it bland compared to what I had expected. Plus, the service was a touch too slow for a lunch break. I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience, but I certainly left feeling underwhelmed. I might give it another chance, perhaps for dinner next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" An exquisite experience! I visited La Gran Terraza for a casual lunch and ended up being pleasantly surprised by the stunning views and delicious food. I ordered the crab and shrimp louie, which was fresh and generously portioned. The ambiance was tranquil, and the service was attentive despite it being a busy day. I'll definitely return for a dinner service next time to enjoy their cocktails as well! " (*Curated Review*)
