We came in with our extended family for a late lunch /snack after visiting the nearby Dino Park and…read morewere promptly and cordially welcomed in. It's a large space, great for groups, and it's nice there is a kids menu option. We started with water all around, plus Mexican cokes and a paloma. We shared seafood tostada, chips n guacamole, wings, and chicken flautas. Everything came out hot, fresh, and nicely seasoned. We have two gluten free folks in the group and there were plenty of corn based options. The tostadas come with three and were nice and fresh, I was a little hesitant when it said mayo, but there was just a bit to get the shrimp and imitation crab to stick together. Turned out the kids loved the wings - we tried the citrus pepper and Austin amber bbq flavors. The chicken inside the flautas was tender and we enjoyed the cabbage, onion, carrot slaw to bring a fresh crunch. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

The house margaritas are 1/2 price. Everything else is the regular price. Our server, J, said she was new to Santo Patio, but I would not have known. She was very helpful and super friendly. We will ask for her again.

The stairs to the VIP area are very narrow and look slippery but I was able to navigate. Won't try that next time. Seating was adequate and comfortable. Parking was adequate but the crowd was small.

TerrAdorna is one of our favorite venues to photograph. It's simple but stylish, spacious but…read morestill intimate, and has the perfect combination of beautiful interiors and lush natural grounds. There are so many options for photos we never run out of ideas. The interior is a pretty blank slate that can look great with even the barest of decoration. Outside, beautiful landscaping and lush grass greets guests most all seasons of the year. The view from the ceremony is beautiful, and you can be blessed with wonderful Texas sunsets. The bridal getting ready area is considerably large, which is perfect for large bridal parties. There is a lot of natural light and it's a very comfortable space. (We've never had issues with temperature here, which is not the same for other venues. It is well air-conditioned.) We've never heard any of our clients say a bad thing about TerrAdorna. We always love shooting there, and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

We cannot say enough amazing things about TerrAdorna and getting to work with Tom and Dory (the…read moreowners) and Sarah (the venue's coordinator). They went out of their way to make sure that we had an incredible experience. First: the venue. It's close to Austin but far enough away that you can feel the wide open space. The outdoor patio is a perfect ceremony spot, and the interior is bright and airy. There were dozens of unique spaces, inside and out, that make for amazing photos or fun details to comment on. They've really thought of everything, and it shows. Our guests could not stop talking about how cool the space was. Second: TerrAdorna provides a day-of coordinator that will work with vendors and handle the day-of logistics. We would never have been willing to hire a planner or coordinator on our own ("oh, we can do it, it's fine") and it's the kind of mistake you don't realize until it's too late, so we are so, so happy we had Sarah working with us. She was really helpful in pointing out some details we hadn't thought about when we met a few weeks before the wedding, was great in answering questions, did some awesome decorating tweaks the day of, and handled several minor mishaps with grace and charm. Third and most importantly: working with Tom and Dory. Much as we loved the venue itself, it was meeting Tom and Dory that made our decision clear. They were so lovely to talk to, and were genuinely interested in us and the plans we had for the wedding. Our wedding ended up being postponed twice thanks to the pandemic, so we had three years of communication before we were actually able to come for the wedding, and they were always so helpful in answering my (numerous) questions. We asked Tom to be our officiant, and it was great to see Dory during the reception as well - it just seemed right that they should be part of the day too. Overall, an AMAZING experience and a huge reason for why our day was as magical as it was.

I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

She met me when I arrived, told me the beautiful story of the labyrinth, and then left me in privacy to walk the labyrinth in peace. I felt right at home and felt no need to rush which is essential for such a personal and meditative experience. Just a note: labyrinths are patterns that have been used in different cultural and spiritual settings around the world for thousands of years. You don't have to practice any particular religion to enjoy and benefit from this introspective experience. Dina has created this as a place of peace and healing for the community and has made the experience strictly donation based. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a little respite from life's chaos!
