The vibe was energizing hence it’s a bit loud but it didn’t bother me. We’ve been here a few times and each time we enjoyed our food. My fave appy is the beef kalbi wonton nachos. Yummmm! The person who greeted us, Chelsea, (not sure if she’s the manager) was very nice and accommodating. I requested a specific table by the window when I made the reservation and it was actually reserved for us. I wasn’t sure if they read the requests on Open Table but I guess they do. Our server, Josh, was very attentive and engaging. The Korean braised short ribs were wonderful that came with mashed potatoes with a hint of wasabi and some pickled veggies. I never regret dining here.

Very busy night so a little noisy. The quality of the food and service, however, was not diminished by the fact that they were super busy. Top notch, as usual.

I went for lunch with a friend to BoVines. Recommend it. We shared gyoza dumplings, then each had a different kind of wagyu burger, with a side. Delicious. Reasonably priced too.

Our server Emily R was remrkable. Very attentive, helpful, friendly, smiley, courteous and just downright genuine, polite and the main reason for the high scores. The food was very good but seems overpriced. It would be beneficial to insert some noise reduction padding. Your highest score on the survey meant "energetic" as in a positive wheras it was hard to have conversation (a negative experience) because it was quite loud.

My fiancee and I went to Earls for our anniversary and it was so special, the service was exceptional, and the food came out timely and delicious. We had the yuzu calamari as our appetizer and it was cooked to perfection! So tender and juicy. For our entrees we both got the 9oz steaks; whoever made them really knows how to cook! It was buttery smooth and seasoned with just the right amount. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Paying the bill was a chore, machine didn’t work properly. Had to get second machine. Floor manager never asked about anything either.
