The service is incredibly helpful, professional & friendly! The atmosphere is incredible, & dining in the wine cellar is a must!! There are no wrong choices here, everything is seriously phenomenal! The steak tartare is a great starter to share with the table, the amount of crab in the crab cakes is fantastic, and serving the caesar in a parmesan tuile makes it that much more fun to eat! The boar shank I had made for the perfect winter meal, it is fall off the bone tender & the sweet potato gnocchi pairs so well with it! The salmon florentine is another beautiful dish & you have to enjoy the amazing wine selection they offer!

I lucked out with a fabulous server named James Brown (yes, really), who kept things smooth and upbeat. Now let's talk about the food. The crab cakes? Best ever. But the real surprise star was the brûléed lemon slice served with them--a simple lemon wedge, dusted with sugar and torched to golden perfection. I could've eaten a whole plate of just those lemons. The filet was cooked spot-on, super tender, and swimming in a ridiculously tasty Périgueux sauce--think madeira, truffle juice, maybe a little brown sugar, and whatever other magic goes into making something that good.

There was live music near our table, too! Drinks and presentation were great - I had the fig and thyme negroni sour, which was lovely. For shared plates, we started with the George's bank scallops which came with poblano pesto, saffron aioli, rutabaga, and butternut squash. Next we had the lasagna al forno with Wagyu beef, short rib, Italian sausage, ricotta, aged Gouda, and mozzarella. The combination sounded incredible, but it was a bit dry for our liking. Finally, we had the little neck clam bucatini with miso butter, oven dried tomatoes, scallion, and furikake. I would've appreciated a thicker or more flavorful sauce, but this was a nice experience overall and I'd come back!

We ordered the Apple Carpaccio, very tasty, and the Chicken Cutlet, which is served topped with a Caesar Salad and croutons. The cutlet itself was slightly overcooked, but still good, and the dish was very good overall. It's about a 40-minute drive for us, but we both agreed that's it's worth the trip for a unique, fun experience. Well done, Otis!

The servers are terrific and love to shoot the breeze. Haven't met a bad one, yet. The bad news? Mixed drinks. $15 per and they aren't very good. It's not the bartender as much as the horrible ingredients. You'd think a high class cocktail bar would boast the very best. The food goes hand in hand as awful. You should still come to the Earl and spend some quality time in the LO bar/HI bar. Order a glass of wine or a beer. That will give you the best odds of a great experience! 02/24
