    Service was great. We had a table of 10 and we were served in a timely manner. The food was delicious, as always. Our one issue was finding a place for our coats. Thankfully the restaurant wasn't packed so were able to put our coats at the next table.

    Outstanding! My first time and was not disappointed. The staff were lovely, and the food delicious. We enjoyed the New Years menu and couple of items that stand out were the duck, the beef, and the deconstructed apple crisp. I highly recommend.

    I had lunch at Earls today with my friend. A few times we mentioned how good the service was. It started off with a young man named Maguire that seated us, made sure we were happy with the table he gave us, and explained the menu to us. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Food was ready quickly and we both were very happy with our meals. Drinks from the bar were very tasty and nicely presented. Great dining experience from beginning to end.

    Wonderful space and atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We chose the sliced tuna sashimi style and grilled scallops, and a few fresh raw oysters as an appetizer. Oysters were so fresh and wonderful and scallops superb. The tuna was presented differently than I have had before, which was delicious and so fresh. For our main dishes, the black cod and bouillabaisse were the choices made. Both were amazing. We plan to return.
