   Party of two we each got the 4-course meal option with a seafood focus + a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay + bottle of still water + 20% tip = $442. The food was phenomenal and properly portioned so you can finish all 4 courses and a couple glasses of wine. Skip lunch just to make sure. The Halibut main dish was cooked to perfection. The ambience is perfectly dimly lit, modern rustic, with a low background level of trip hop/ lounge libations. Memorable for sure...

   Poor directions for a late night reservation, ambience in the restaurant was lovely. Food and drinks were very good. Often felt forgot about by waiter.

   As a local, we have frequented Earth several times. This was a last minute reservation. On a very cold evening, we we seated by an exit door which in and of itself was chilly, and then made more so by patrons who must have been dining in the separate, outdoor garden shed who needed to use the restroom. While the food was good, all of our dishes were not hot enough and I felt slightly under seasoned. Service was attentive while not boing intrusive. One suggestion would be to direct the outdoor patrons to enter through the main exit which is closer to the restrooms anyway.

   Earth is an experience that you should take part in. The food and the presentation is wonderful. The menu selections have improved over the years so we feel that's a positive note. We have been there many times and last night was the first time we were unhappy with the service. We actually had to send our mains back because they both were room temperature, if that. Very surprising for Earth. One of our servers, not the actual waiter, really was inexperienced. She couldn't answer a couple of simple questions and then placed our 1st to the wrong person, again, very surprising for Earth. Lastly, we weren't asked if we would like coffee/tea or an after dinner drink. When you go to Earth you expect the best of the best and last night wasn't their best. In saying all this, we will return.

   Earth is amazing. The food is so fresh and presentation is beautiful. The service is outstanding, and the courses served just the right time apart from each other. It feels like you are dining in the most upscale lodge imaginable. We will be back!!

   The service was pretty slow, but the food was not as good as a few years ago when I visited this restaurant. For example, I ordered a butternut squash soup with lobster and there was one little tiny piece of lobster in it. My dining companions felt the same way we each got a three course Menu and it was $95 each. One other person dining with me, had the lobster pasta dish and it was more tomatoes than two small pieces of lobster in it. I’m in no hurry to go back unfortunately because I used to love this place.

    Decadence celebrated and delivered with expertise and no expectations. This was the cherry on top of our 10th wedding anniversary and worth every penny!
