Twitter and Facebook reports are trickling in from friend and family preview events at Terra Plata, the forthcoming restaurant from James Beard-winning chef Tamara Murphy. The photos above show some Saturday afternoon prep, and patrons of Murphy's previous restaurant Brasa might recognize some familiar decorative elements.

Murphy's Melrose Market restaurant spent the past two years mired in various legal setbacks. But finally her 'earth-to-plate' concept is about to open, most likely the last week of the month. What to expect: a ferocious commitment to local growers and producers, and a charming rooftop patio.
