The lighting is a bit dim but comfortable and warm. The food is decently priced $15-30 per person (tastes quite good, too). Patio is shaded with very very light fans. Lots of open seats in the early Saturday afternoon. Servers are extremely friendly! Would recommend. read more

I had the best service here! the food was so good. The servers were all super sweet and the hosts were amazing shout out STEVIE

Earl's drinks are where it's at! They have a huge selection of cocktails, beers, you name it. I got a Citrus Spritz and it was so refreshing. They did a great job masking the alc with the perfect balance of citrus & sweetness. Also, their service was A+! Their servers are always friendly & quick to assist. For food, we got their fish tacos, oysters & fries. Their truffles fries are always the best! They use thin, crispy fries with delicious truffle & parmesan seasoning. Always a must-order. I think their oysters & baja fish tacos were just okay though. Both were fine, just missing that special oomph. Overall, I think Earls is a cute place to get drinks with friends, but foodwise their steaks are better than their seafood. read more

Deceptive scam What could have been a nice (but expensive) lunch turned into a deceptive scam. Presented a check on a digital device with server hovering over me. While the bill was accurate I noticed a 3% administrative fee. I questioned and the server said he doesn't know what it is, why it is there or where the money goes. Added to all checks. When I reviewed the website before visiting, no mention of this fee. When I made the reservation, no mention of the fee. When I entered the restaurant, no mention of this fee. No mention of the fee on the printed menu. Surprise, when it is time to pay the bill, you've been scammed! If $23.75 for a California roll isn't enough to cover the cost of business that you need to add 3% more without being honest about it, then I don't know what to say other than I won't be back.

Nice space, generally good food but DO NOT order the steak frites. TINY steak on half a piece of soggy toast with ok fries and a tiny simple (extremely simple) salad. $35.50. My bad that I didn't read that it was 4 oz but I would have paid more to have an actual meal, rather than a piece of meat roughly the size of half a hamburger, and a pile of fries that mayyyy have been hand cut and fried in duck fat, but maybe not, since they were pretty unexceptional. The server put the plate down in front of me and I guess I couldn't conceal my shock as I gazed down on the lil scrap of steak. According to my dining companion, the server shot me a filthy look and rolled her eyes at my expression of confusion and disbelief. Oh how I WISH I had seen that. The waiter came by and I asked him about the oddity and he seemed apologetic and asked if I wanted to speak to the manager. No thanks, it was a live and learn moment. And I learned I won't be ordering steak frites from Monsieur Earl again. Edit: I'm having lunch at Stephanie's on Newbury street and I'm eating the most delicious simple salad ever... Boston lettuce with a light, citrusy dressing. It just drives home how sad, chintzy and lazy my Earl's meal was. And it was sold as an entree, to be clear. They should be embarrassed to serve it. If they can't do it right, they should take it off of the menu. read more

Been here so many times and always great service and food. Great space and rooftop bar outside is nice. They also have a small bar downstairs. When I'm at the Pru and want to grab something good and sit and relax. I've had almost everything on the menu, all of it fresh. Had a quick lunch there the other day with a friend and had the Cobb salad with added steak. My friend had the salad with salmon. Both were fresh and tasty. read more

Fantastic visit! Food was fantastic and the drinks were perfectly balanced. Excellent vibe and the staff was friendly and struck a great balance between being attentive and giving space. Omar was a fantastic server and knowledgeable of the menu. Decor was beautiful. Will absolutely be back soon. I always like to note as well how a business treats solo diners and Earl's really hit the mark. Didn't feel any less attended to than people with a group which really does make a huge difference and is not always the case! Tiny tiny nitpicks that wouldn't cause me to knock a star but to be of note, was given a couple of utensils (chopsticks and to go containers) that were a little dirty and the wait time on the first drink was long. But overall excellent experience. :) read more

I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience at Earls. The poke bowl was amazing ! One my favorite ones I've had. I would definitely recommend it. The Cobb salad was also very good, and hearty enough for a meal. The truffle fries were good very cheesy but I loved that it came with an aïoli. Also had the spicy marg and it was very good not very strong. read more

Grateful for earls as it turned out to be the best meal we had while we were in Boston. It is hard to find a place everyone agrees on but earls has something for everyone. We were greeted with a taste of champagne and seated quickly. The vibe was great and the service was even better. Ela was attentive and had an infectious smile and personality. We ordered pasta, birria tacos, dumplings, steak frites and crispy tuna. The flavors were AMAZING! Wish we had one of these back home in Naples. read more

Upbeat atmosphere and a nice treat yourself escape from the hustle of Prudential Center - the place for a couple of apps to share and cocktails. It's a nice space with lots of booth and high table options, and even bar and open kitchen seating for solo diners or smaller parties. Some downsides were that the pasta wasn't as hot as we would've liked but still had some flavor. We added protein to the Caesar Salad but was not expecting a $16 surcharge - note that a "half" portion is $8 (only written as 'Chicken' +$8 on the menu) and "full" is $16. We also had the option to choose a Cajun seasoned chicken vs. regular which didn't seem to have an up charge. read more

Eva's is located inside the Prudential Center and features a beautiful ambiance. We were seated at the indoor patio area with marble tables, plenty of greenery, and clear windows that made the space feel like a classy greenhouse, chic yet relaxed. However, I wish my appreciation for the atmosphere extended to the food and service as well. I visited with a couple of friends, and we ordered the steak + truffle tortellini, steak + sushi (wagyu beef press), and eggs benedict. My steak and truffle tortellini wasn't bad. The steak was cooked well and the tortellini had a nice, soft texture, but the sauce had a very tart flavor that became overwhelming after a few bites. The steak and sushi was also a miss. The sauce was so salty that it drowned out the other flavors. Unfortunately, the service didn't help. We saw our server once when taking our order, and it was difficult to flag anyone down afterward. By the time someone finally came over, we were nearly finished eating, which made it feel a bit pointless. I really wanted to love this place. The setting is gorgeous, but between the uneven food and slow service, it just missed the mark for me. I'd come back for drinks or the vibe, but probably not for a full meal. read more

I ordered 4 oz steak & sushi at Earls in Boston. My husband also ordered 6 oz steak size with Sushi. When our food was delivered the steaks were almost the same size. The bill came out and we found out that my husband's steak was ＄30 more than mine for 2 oz more of steak...and, to add insult to injury, we were charged a 3% administrative fee. Really poor overall experience.....and poor management. We won't be back and certainly will share our experience with our friends. read more

Earls in the mall in Boston really surprised me--in the best way. You don't usually expect a fine dining atmosphere in a mall, but the modern chic décor, cozy booths, and gold embellishments gave it an upscale vibe right away. One note: while I love a good booth, it was a bit odd that large parties (like ours) were squeezed into one. Six work colleagues in a booth made for some cramped dining--probably better suited for smaller groups. That said, the food was impressive and memorable. My spaghetti with shrimp and scallops was spot-on, and the seafood was cooked to perfection. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals and had only good things to say. But what really stood out was the service. Our waitress was incredible--thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and funny. She absolutely elevated the whole experience. Overall, a great night out with delicious food and outstanding service--just maybe request a table instead of a booth if you're rolling deep. read more

Had a great dinner with coworkers. The truffle fries and dumplings were both great apps for the table. The dumplings were juicy and lots of tasty things added on top. I enjoyed the coconut mango mocktail - very refreshing for a hot day. For my entree, I got the steak and sushi dish. The steak was ok but I really enjoyed the salmon sushi. It melted in my mouth and was so delicious. The ambience offered a nice high end dining experience without the stuffiness. Special shoutout to Jenna, our server, for the great service. read more

I think this place is over priced. But it's inside prudential, has good service, so probably that explains the price part. They have complementary drink when we checked in. And they checked on our table several times during our meal. So service is good. But then they automatically added 3% admin fees. Food wise, I got the Truffle Tortellini. I'm disappointed. First of all, I didn't taste anything truffle. The portion is pretty small. Or they just have a big plate. The flavor is good, but nothing impressive. For $27.50, I can get better option somewhere. When we got in around 6:30, it's pretty loud. But then once people left, the noise level is better for conversation. read more

Earls was a nice break from the mall. I was totally sold by the "rooftop" bar. My mind envisioned something quite different from what we experienced... which was a rooftop bar without a view. Oh well. The one thing when we were seated was that we were told someone would be right with us. Well, right with us meant 20 minutes. By the time she came over, the table across from us grabbed her and placed their order. I had already walked 8 miles that day and was just ready for a drink and a snack; otherwise, I would have left. Once we ordered, the food and drinks came out rather quickly and were delicious. We ordered a bunch of items from the happy hour menu, including tacos, truffled fries, and a burger. My lemon drop was on point, too. I recommend checking this place out. read more

We were on a spooky girls' trip to Boston/Salem and our first stop was the Prudential Center View Boston. Before, we stopped at Earls for lunch. Two of us decided to have our first clam chowder in Boston as part of a marathon to rate the chowders in each restaurant we ate. They gave it huge reviews but it was their first so nothing to compare it with. I had the Ahi Tuna Tataki which I loved but did not realize it was a small plate. Still, it was filling. We order the chicken lettuce wraps and the cajun blackened chicken. Everything was delicious. Our server Jillian was a delight. She answered are questions, was patient and attentive, checking in on us periodically to make sure we were ok. Our busboy, Butters was the man! Next time I'm in Boston, I'm going to make sure and stop at Earls! read more

I had such a good time here at earls. We went during the happy hour, and started with oysters and truffle fries. Both were so good! We had a part of four, and so we all ordered different drinks, and tried one another's drinks. They all tasted great. I got the chicken tortellini which was also incredible. The vibes were really nice. Perfect for a nice date or a casual diner with friends. The hostess and waitress were super nice as well. I'd love to go back asap. read more

A friend from Boston gave Earl's as a restaurant recommendation. We almost didn't go in, because we were turned off by it being inside a mall. Wow, what a lovely surprise! We were sat in the very back on the covered, rooftop. So pretty! The oysters were expensive at $4 each, but probably the best we have ever had. Apparently, they are grown and only sold for and to Earl's?! Andrew was our waiter and made our experience here amazing. He is knowledgeable, well spoken, mature, super friendly, and helpful. As a tourist, he gave us spot on recommendations. It is not surprising he was just given the opportunity to move into a leadership and training role (I had to ask why he was only a waiter when he clearly has more potential than that). We had a great time and will recommend Earl's to others who visit. read more

It was just okay. Ambience is four stars but the food and the service was not. My teenager had the steak and tortellini combo and she said the steak was tough. I had the Seabass and it was OK but a little salty and the presentation was unimpressive. Lastly, the service was weird, although she did share it was her first day. It just felt very choppy and unpolished for a pricey restaurant. read more

It was a nice place at the mall and seemed promising but the dishes were overly seasoned with lemon flavor so made their dishes sour. I usually enjoy lemon in my dishes but this was too overwhelming. The steak was undercooked so we asked to cook a little more and the waitress seemed annoyed with our request, it was cooked more and was done right the second time. Not sure if I'll come back and try again. The ambience was nice otherwise. read more

Went out with friends for Dine Out Boston and it was pretty busy. We sat in a round booth which was slightly cramped for 5 people but made it work. Sushi salmon press - salmon nicely seared and still warm Korean ribs - sweet and sour. Slightly overpowering Poke bowl - little bit of everything very delicious separate or mixed. Tortellini- the vegetable are very tender and the sauce is good Blackened chicken - the chicken was very juicy and flavorful but the potatos stole the show. Super crispy and fluffy. The Cole slaw was good Steak and sushi - the wagyu sushi was very tender. The steak was overcooked and the sauce was too sour. Sticky toffee pudding - the vanilla icecream was rich and a great contrast to the warm pudding. Crunchy Vanilla cheesecake - generic cheesecake read more

Really enjoyed the food, ambience, and customer service here. The patio was really pretty. I got prosecco when I walked in because it was my birthday.

Earls is a restaurant inside the Prudential Mall in the Back Bay. The location is just a few steps inside the Boylston St entrance. The atmosphere is hipster with dim lighting and music throughout the dining room. We had dinner on Saturday night and it was very busy, we were seated quickly thanks to our reservation. I have to give an extra compliment regarding the staff. My other half suffers from back issues and Earls went out of their way to accommodate him. We were seated in a cozy round booth, thank you Earls. The food was delicious. The wontons were a great start and the portions were generous for an appetizer. I loved the scallops and shrimp spaghetti, it was outstanding and unique with the pesto/almond sauce. The steak and sushi was a winner as well, it's a small portion of steak but a larger portion is available with an upgrade. The crispy salmon was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and definitely recommend to locals and tourists alike. Prices are more than fair for Boston. Rooftop dining is available. read more

The food was honestly mediocre. The burger was bland, the Korean dish was bland, the crispy birria tacos were above average. However, any one who has had authentic Mexican tacos would probably think otherwise. The service was okay for me. Our server appeared a bit on edge when he check on us. I wouldn't blame him because the ambiance is very LOUD. But shout to them for taking off the Korean dish off of our check (they had forgot to cook the egg well done for my wife). read more

This was my first visit to Earl and I will definitely be back. The ambiance was somewhat noisy but not obnoxious. The vibe inside the restaurant was classy but fun and not overly stuffy. Our server was absolutely amazing. I wish I got her name to call her out but she was sweet, informative and always on top of our needs. The food was really good but not out of this world. My chicken was a bit overcooked and dry. The ahi tuni salad was incredible. Fresh and very flavorful. The calamari was good but the crust was a bit bland. Not sure what was missing but it just fell a little flat. We will definitely be back and may update ratings of food if that was just a one off. Nice location read more

I ordered Earl's Kitchen and Bar for delivery to my hotel, but I can't wait to visit in person! The birria tacos were outstanding and the dipping sauce had the perfect balance of flavor and spice. My delivery driver (not from the restaurant) did not grab the water I ordered. The restaurant manager, Sarah, discovered it right away. She personally delivered the water and some extra goodies. Everything was outstanding! This is the way you turn "customer" into "raving fans". Thanks to Sarah and Earls Kitchen + Bar for making me a fan! read more
