very slow service. mediocre, overpriced food. went with colleagues and waited over an hour for food. No apologies or comps. Rice was completely undercooked... not al dente... raw. Scallops were only OK with some major chunks of grit.

Great food late at night. We arrived at midnight and ate off the bar menu. Had a decent amount of choices but surprisingly no soup. Either way, the linguini with shrimp was excellent! I also love that they have different portions on the late menu since i dont like to go to bed on a stomach full of food. Friendly bartender that makes you feel right at home as soon as you arrive

Food was good, the service wasn't, I ordered a beer, they never delivered but for sure they tried to charge me at the end in my bill, the setting is dark from my taste, not a place to return.

My friends and I went here a few nights ago for a nice dinner out. I loved it! The vibe the food the wine it was all fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place and would go again. There is a long wait on weekend nights as most good places but it's definitely worth it!

Did not recomend daily special, food was good but service wise... reconsider.

A nice, tasty and classy experience with extremely nice wait staff. The homemade pasta was fantastic and when the wine we ordered ran out, the offered the next level up to us for the same price!

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is high-end, so it is pricier and the portions are smaller, but completly worth it. The scallops were cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth, the cocktails were well balanced, and the presentation was exquisite. One of my favorite parts of my meal was the Oysters. They put lemon flavored ice shavings on each one, no additional sauce necessary. Highly recommend people to try this place out for a special occasion.

Cool atmosphere. I had the Cod special and it was amazing. Goid service and nice wine list.

This is a very nice restaurant with delicious food. Their upstairs dining area is great for a private function. The staff is friendly and attentive. It has a very traditional feel for a city restaurant.

Must visit restaurant for American foods and Cocktail bar lovers. Earls Kitchen + Bar has beer gardens and brewpubs. They have happy hour special offers, vegan options, and reservations. Special foods include Dynamite Roll, Eggs Benedict, California Burger, etc.

I tried chicken and my fiance tried salmon. They were very average for the price point and I got disappointed. I ordered chocolate dessert and it was not good.

Delicious food. On the pricier end but that's to be expected being right downtown. Service was fine, atmosphere was also nice. We came here because we were staying at the Marriott, which is a 2 minute walk. Overall it was a good experience.

This was an elegant Italian place for Italian food lover. The food is exceptionally good and not quite as expensive as some very high end restaurants. Highly recommend this location.

This has to be one of the best Italian restaurant meals I've had in the US or in Italy. The flavours for all the dishes we had were phenomenal. I had the Short Rib gnocchi to start followed by the Lobster Cavatelli. The husband had the beets to start and the Rigatoni with wild boar. The presentation was also excellent.I would have tried the desserts but unfortunately the husband had a dodgy stomach, nothing to do with the restaurant! Next time we're in Boston will have to come back here to try that out.We came very early on a Sunday evening so it was very quiet, though I suspect even when full it's not going to be too noisy in the restaurant. Nice staff and fast service. Reasonably priced for such excellent food. Highly recommended.

One of the best meals I've ever had. I would go back weekly just to have the gnocchi, but everything was so delicious! We also had the scallops and the lobster linguine as entrees, but we were so busy talking about the appetizers that I forgot to take pictures. Just remembered to catch a shot of the semifreddo toward the end. Great service, even with a crowed room. Tables far enough apart for some privacy.
