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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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....

Went to Earls right before seeing a movie. The Bacon Cheddar Burger was really tasty and I liked that you could sub in a side of soup instead of the fries. I got the New England Clam Chowder which was pretty good, but I will say it had more ingredients in it, like tomatoes, that I wouldn’t normally associate with a chowder. This made it taste like a seafood chowder which is not what I expected but it was still good! The truffle fries were good, but on the plainer side and the calamari had a good crunch, but needed a bit more salt for the flavor to pop. Would come here again and try different things just to branch out.
