    It was our 37th Wedding Anniversary and when we were seated, along came 2 glasses of bubbly and a congratulatory greeting from our Server. We had a sensational 4 course meal and at the end of the meal we were again surprised by a gorgeous, complimentary dessert “warm donuts with ice cream and chocolate script “Happy Anniversary”! What an incredible restaurant and Staff. We have a reservation pre- New Years Eve celebration, with our daughter and partner. It’s her Birthday dinner and it’s a surprise right now. Wonderful experience, thank you “Earth”!

    Timely and pleasant service. Menu options were plentiful and the ones we ordered were delicious. Wines by the glass selection was a bit limited but overall worth a return visit especially if heading to Merrill auditorium for a performance.

    We had reservations on a Monday night due to the high demand because of the Christmas Pop up. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. People were taking walking around the taking pictures throughout the restaurant. We were sat at our table right away. Our waitress was very nice. We started with Garlic Knots which we both liked. I had the Bolognese which I enjoyed very much. My girlfriend had the braised short ribs which she also enjoyed. If you can get reservations we both recommend it.
