    Aburi Salmon Sushi Press
    Autumn B.

    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. :)

    Salads and main menu items

    Came in on the Saturday night of the Boston marathon. Needless to say the place was packed with a lot of fit, skinny people carb loading . Great views of the local sports on tv.

    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.

    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.

    Little Gem Caesar Salad, Spicy Calabrian Pasta, Truffle Fries

    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.

    Eggs Benedict

    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.

    Truffle Tortellini

    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.

    The service is a bit slow but there is only one person down here serving. I've been waiting for 20 minutes just to pay my bill. The menu is kind of interesting, I ended up having a fish tacos and they were pretty good.

    Korean Beef Bibimbap
    Robert H.

    I had a lovely dinner at Earls - my server Juan was superb and very helpful, and I really liked the vibe. My steak biimbap had a nice spicy sauce and was just like I enjoy it at good Korean restaurants. In the Pru it is a nice option.

    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.

    Steak Sushi
    John H.

    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.

    Deluxe Burger
    Richard M.

    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).

    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.

    Is parking validated?

    It is not.

    What time is Happy Hour on weekdays ? Website says 2-5pm M-F but I remember it as 3-6pm. I just want to clarify. Thank you!

    Can you accommodate table for 8 ? Preferably round.

    Does Earls still do brunch happy hour Sundays from open to noon?

    Yes, they still do happy hour brunch from open to noon on the weekends!

    Does the outdoors seating have heater for warmth in winter?

    Nah really but why would you sit out there lolz Just wait for summer being inside is way better… Read more

    Do you have to be 21 to hangout in the outdoor bar area? Looking to celebrate my 21st here, but not all of my friends are of age yet.

    When is weekend brunch happy hour?

    Best to check the website for kitchen times. Brunch not specified on either day and no Happy Hour on Saturday. Sunday Happy Hour menu is 9:00 PM to close.

    Are jackets required for gentlemen and at the other end of the spectrum are shorts allowed?

    I sat at the upstairs bar, but the restaurant appeared casual to me. Some men wore jackets but they didn't seem to be required. I didn't see anyone wearing shorts there, but I was in jeans at the inside bar area--so causal dress should be acceptable.

    Tried to make a reservation for Friday dinner through their website but there is no table available for reservation. Do they preserve some tables for walk-in customers?

    Seating is first come first serve. If you come later - maybe 8:30 - the wait should not be long.

    What time does the kitchen close on weekends?

    full menu up to 2am

    Does it accept discover credit card?

    Yes, I believe I used mine there

    Is this a cool/fun ambience to turn 21 at the bar?

    Absolutely! It's a really fun, modern place and usually has a pretty energetic vibe. Have fun!

    Hi there, I may have lost my wallet last night, and when I tried calling the restaurant, I was left on hold for 15+ minutes with no answer. Is there a better number to call?

    No. Suggest you call just before they open. The place is a real zoo (as you know). Otherwise, good to go back.

    Could a group of 12-15 gather here just for drinks (before an event) Sat 6-7p, or would we have to eat?

    I think your best bet is the downstairs bar. Expect the entire rest/bar to be full at that time. Besides the crowd issue, you've also got to be concerned that the noise level is very high and it may be difficult to hear each other. You might want… Read more

    On Sunday is it just a brunch menu or is it both?

    Hi Connor, On Sundays from 10am to 3pm it is full menu plus the brunch menu. Then at 3pm it goes to only full menu (no brunch).… Read more

    Should I make a reservation for my upcoming birthday it will be on a Thursday evening around 6pm and about 7 or 8 people or do a walk in?

    It's best to make a reservation. This place gets packed

    Are there vegan friendly options?

    Hi there, this is Jeff, the Assistant Chef. We have several vegan options with slight modifications from our kitchen. We have a list in-house of what can be made vegan and how to do so which the servers will be happy to help you with. If you stop… Read more

A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good.

We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me. My husband doesn't love curry but he loves these fries and you will too. #friesaretodiefor Moon Bar, thanks for being amazing in every way.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
