    For a chain, this is pretty good. Nothing was amazing, but I was somewhat impressed with the pave potatoes. We came here for brunch and liked everything that we tried. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable for Assembly Row. This is where I'd come for typical brunch fare in the area.

    The modern, open atmosphere of this restaurant is enchanting! There are tables with cozy benches, as well as 2 bar areas. It also looks like they have an outdoor seating area for the warmer months. We appreciated the attentive service. The problem is, when you go to eat, everything on the menu sounds good which makes it nearly impossible to pick! The cheese dip which was absolutely incredible, but sadly it came with stale chips. The crispy shrimp was also delicious, although it came with a bit too much sauce on it for my preference. Overall, the experience was a great one & I recommend eating here!

    We booked a table here for a family dinner for a graduation celebration. We had a hard time trying to find parking but ultimately parked in the mall on the other side. We arrived 15 mins later than our reservation and they were nice enough to keep the booking active although it was jam packed on a Saturday early evening! We have to wait 15 minutes before the table is ready and they give us a really nice table next to their wine cellar. The food quality was good although it wasn't anything spectacular. Vegetarian family members enjoyed vegetarian sushi. Overall they were really great varieties to choose from. We were bummed that one of our orders did not arrive but it turned out for the best because we had enough to share. My only advice to management would be to reduce the volume of the music because it was really hard to talk to each other. The music gives it more of a nightclub vibe... Perhaps crank up the music after 8:00 p.m. or so but it was really a bother during dinner

    This is a good location to eat when you are shopping at any of the shops at Assembly. Stylish and spacious. They offer limited gluten free options. They were nice to modify the Tuna Poke for me what is originally made with gluten ( gluten was in the rice and onion on top) . They made a gluten free version for me with a plain rice and they gave me special dressing to make it tasty. Good selection of drinks on the menu! I find it a little pricier but I guess we have to pay for quality food! A good experience all together.

    beautiful location and decor. I was just not impressed with the restaurant much. when I first walked in, I had told the host that it was going to be a party of two and she just walked away. I thought she was going to check on an open table but the restaurant was literally empty and she didn't return for almost 5 min. I was very confused but I did eventually get sat. the food was just ok. I am not sure if it was because we went in during the transition period (that 3 to 5pm) from lunch to dinner that the kitchen people just didn't care or were on break. the Buffalo cauliflower wasn't tossed in the sauce, just a lazy drizzled on top, but was completely soaked in oil regardless. the spinach dip was maybe 4oz total at best, extremely over priced for the portions they give you. the steak and sushi was very nice and unique dish, great flavors!! the saving grace, but even the steak was over cooked also. I would definitely like to come try this place again, however it probably wouldn't be at the top of my list.

    Vibe is great. Convenient to shop in the assembly row area and grab a bite. Service was great. The new additions lettuce wrapped chicken was great. Cajun blackened chicken is a must try.

    Had a great time here with 6 other guests. The food was good and they had a wide variety on the menu. Although this is a chain I thought it gave a vibe that it wasn’t which I personally like. The dessert was just as good as the entrees and I am excited to come back for their brunch!

    This was my first time eating and that is Assembly Rowe. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The tables and chairs were comfortable. The decor was definitely top notch. The bathroom was clean. There were patreons of all age groups there. Even though it was packed we were able to be seated in a timely manner. The waitress we had was great . The music however, was really loud . I couldn't hear the person sitting across from me . So this restaurant is definitely not a place you would go for a first date. If you are trying to get to know the person. The prices are a little steep. I had got the curry chicken bowl and I was a little disappointed. I was expecting for the flavors to pop and they didn't. They didn't give me a lot of sauce either. The fries were seasoned good and so was the crab cakes. However, even though the crab cakes were good it sucks that they only give you two small cakes. It was hard to find parking. Especially because it was nice out. So the plaza was packed....

    This was probably one of the best restaurants my husband and I have been to in a very long time. The first thing I would come back for is our server Jecika !!! She was absolutely amazing !! Hands down the best server !! The food was beyond perfect! I’m a general manager and my husband is an executive chef at a restaurant in Connecticut so we understand the hard times in this industry. With all that said our experience was a 100 out of 10 !!

    My first time in this restaurant. Food was delicious as well the drink. Amazing service, our attendants were friendly and they gave us good suggestions about their food. The food was served very fast we didn’t spend a lot of time waiting, as we were seated almost close to the open kitchen bar, I observed them enjoying their job, and taking care of the food presentation, great team. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and the presentation is very organized and clean. Definitely, a restaurant to visit again.

    My friend and I had a superb experience at Earl’s this evening. We were greeted with a smile and a very warm welcome from André. André and the team of bartenders and servers who were on shift this evening between 4:45 pm and 7:00 pm were punctual, attentive, social, knowledgeable with their drink and food menu, and all had provided top notch customer service. This has been the best dining experience I have had since the pandemic, and possibly before that. My restaurant experiences since the pandemic have been the standard or less than par, leaving me feeling like I’d rather host potluck dinners with friends at my house instead! Tonight, I changed my mind! André is there on Thursdays, Fridays, and I think Saturdays. So if you want to be treated as if you are the only guest in a restaurant you must make your way over there when this bartender is working! I will be visiting Earl’s again in the near future. Ps the Passion Fruit Chili margarita was AMAZING!! I had TWO!! 🤩

    The food was delicious and so vibrant. We had ordered a number of dishes, and they were given to us in good time, and were fresh.

    Decided to visit this location in Assembly. I haven’t been to an Earls before since I am new to the area but if did not disappoint. The atmosphere and decor were very nice and the staff were friendly. We ordered drinks which were delicious and then some food. I tried a crusted truffle chicken and my fiancé had a sirloin.l steak. Both were exceptional and had a lot of flavor and came with a lot of food. I would highly recommend this place for a nice dinner and will definitely be back to try more of the excellent food options.

    Always a good choice for a great dinner and the best red sangria. The steak and sushi is my favorite and for appetizers the calamari is very crunchy and has fry coliflower.

    I have come here for dinner with my family, friends, and colleagues more than a dozen times. The food and cocktails are excellent, and the ambiance is lovely. However, the service is often slow, and many of the waiters are aloof. I also would not recommend ordering wine, as they do not chill it. Tonight we ordered the spicy tuna roll, crab cake, truffle fries, sirloin, ribeye, chicken tacos, chocolate pudding, sangria, and crème brûlée. We had a wonderful time, but we found the waiter who was serving us to be standoffish.

    NO STEAK AT THIS LOCATION!! Service great, drinks great, tiny oysters, not-fresh tuna/sauce, I prefer the prudential location way better before I spend all my remaining card balance.

    Atmosphere and environment is very nice! Great location for date night, friends night out and such! Piece is a bit pricey and the food fusion is interesting. They do a decent job with fusion meals here. Great vibes!

    My girlfriend ate dinner at the bar during the dinner rush, but felt like we were the only people there. The food was amazing and the cocktails were made perfectly. The three bartenders worked together and were AMAZING. They made the experience one to remember. I don’t remember names but never forget a face. These three were so exceptional I remember all their names; Erik, Jose, and Andrey. I highly recommend this restaurant, and these guys are some of the best in the business

    Spicy tuna tacos were awesome. Drinks are good too. Would have liked more rice with the Thai shrimp bowl, but the bowl was delicious.

  • 5/5 Jaraldo B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food at Earls Kitchen + Bar is absolutely amazing. Every-time I come here it’s just a great all around experience. During my most recent visit I had the pleasure of being served by Leidy who made an already great visit even better. I will definitely be coming back very soon.

    March 2022 - The food we had at Earls Kitchen + Bar was so delicious! I highly recommend the Blackened Chicken and add Truffle Fries (I’m sure the potato salad is good, but I had the truffle fries). The staff we encountered were super friendly and we had a great experience. The food portions were great, so we felt the high than average prices for the food was worth the cost for an occasional night out. It did take about 25 minutes for our food to come out (we only had the blackened chicken and one of the burgers). It wasn’t a big deal for us, but if you’re trying to catch a movie make sure you come here in plenty of time. We will come back to Earls Kitchen no doubt.
