A hotly anticipated upscale
eatery opened its doors
without fanfare at a new Surf
Avenue complex near the Cyclone
rollercoaster, staff confi
rmed on Jan. 22.
Teraza Restaurant
Lounge, located between W.
Eighth and W. 10th streets,
serves high-end American
fare such as prime steak,
seafood, and duck liver
mousse. According to its
general manager, the restaurant
offers a culinary experience
new to the People’s
Playground.
“We’re going to be the fi rst
fi ne dining experience in the
area,” said Imyas Abramov.
All of Teraza’s dishes are
made in-house, including
the bread, Abramov said.
But the restaurant’s prices
reflect its claims to quality,
and entrees go from $22
to $48, according to the eatery’s
online menu.
Teraza’s owners are still
in the process of acquiring
its liquor license, but Abramov
COURIER L 12 IFE, JAN. 31-FEB. 6, 2020
hopes to be slinging
booze within the next few
months.
“We should get it within
the next three months. Then,
we’ll have a grand opening,”
he noted.
Meanwhile, a new Starbucks
neighboring Teraza
remains closed because of
an ongoing battle with the
local community board, local
mavens said.
Executives at the coffee
shop — which would be the
fi rst sit-down Starbucks on
the peninsula — want the
café to operate a drive-thru,
but community leaders
worry that the line would
cause traffi c along Surf Avenue.
“In the summer, when the
line backs up, where’s it going
to back up to?” said Eddie

of Community Board 13.
“It’ll cause a fi re and safety
hazard.”
Mark added that Starbucks
executives won’t open
the shop until they get approval
from the Department
of Buildings and the Fire
Department. Still, the coffee
shop has appeared ready to
open for months.
“It’s all ready to go,” Mark
said. “We looked inside and
all the tables and chairs are
ready to go.”
