The food and drinks were good but pricey and the service was below average. We told the waitress that we had a time window and it seemed she could of cared less. We had to ask another waitress twice to go find our waitress and it was still a long wait. Once we got our check it seemed like she vanished again. The restaurant was not that crowded and we saw numerous employees in the area. Don't understand what happened. read more

I ordered Earl's Kitchen and Bar for delivery to my hotel, but I can't wait to visit in person! The birria tacos were outstanding and the dipping sauce had the perfect balance of flavor and spice. My delivery driver (not from the restaurant) did not grab the water I ordered. The restaurant manager, Sarah, discovered it right away. She personally delivered the water and some extra goodies. Everything was outstanding! This is the way you turn "customer" into "raving fans". Thanks to Sarah and Earls Kitchen + Bar for making me a fan! read more

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). read more

Really enjoyed the food, ambience, and customer service here. The patio was really pretty. I got prosecco when I walked in because it was my birthday. And because they didn't have gf dessert option they surprised me with a strawberry margarita instead that was amazing. Eva and Jodi were great. And they were helpful with gf options for dinner. read more

Delicious food and drinks! The staff were all very friendly- especially our waitress Jennifer. I got the strawberry cosmo and it was amazing! Also, the truffle tortellini with Cajun chicken was divine. The restaurant is right in the pru, and is super cute especially with the Christmas decor. It is big with lots of seating. I highly recommend it! read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening after 8pm. It was busier than I expected for a Tuesday night even the hostess seating us said the same. We got seated in the high top table section in a booth - nice and roomy. The music was very loud that I could barely hear the others in my group talk. The service was good - our server Butters was friendly and helpful with the menu. Apps to share Vegan Charred Corn + Avocado Dip - Good, my sibling said they're even better when the chips are hot Sticky Korean Ribs - these are really good, flavorful and super tender My meal Nashville Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Hot fried chicken thigh, lemon slaw, sweet pickle, honey mustard mayonnaise, toasted brioche bun 've been longing for the day that Earl's brings back the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. I was excited to see they brought it back but with a new flare, being Nashville. This is was so underwhelming. My sandwich was cold (although still very crispy) and fries were cold but those didn't bother me as much as the fact that there was no heat to this sandwich. I ordered this sandwich specifically for the peppery aspect of it. It wasn't even a mild heat, there was zero kick at all. read more

Ambiance is cool and I would assume it would be a fun place for happy hour. However we went there for dinner and chose this place based on the high reviews and it was a hard FAILE. So let's just start by the burger that was a frozen patty and I should have know bc the server never asked me how I would like it ( medium , well done ....) How could u mess up a Berger ? You have to be really bad to do so!!! Salmon dish was average / but definitely not worth $36 dollars. So for 2 people / 2 dishes , 2 drinks - $100 with tip $120 was NOT worth it at all. read more

Stumbled across this place while wandering the mall looking for something to eat. Such a great happenstance. The rooftop was enclosed and cozy and our server Megan was great. The food and drinks were top notch. Highly recommend the wagyu sushi and the crab cake was the best ever. The lychee martini was great. Prices were fair and the atmosphere was great. Dining room was gorgeous, rooftop was more casual, entrance bar was nice, but definitely go upstairs. read more

We made an advance reservation for a Saturday evening meal. The place was overflowing, which I optimistically took as a good sign. (Foreshadowing: it was not.) The service: The host seated us promptly--great start! Then our waitress appeared, made eye contact long enough to take every single order for the evening in one breath, and then vanished like Houdini. When the apps arrived, we ate them... with our bare hands, because the small plates and utensils didn't show up until 15 minutes later. The second time we saw the waitress was when she brought our drinks and advised us--like some sort of bar-supply survival guide--to "order the next round now because there's only one bartender." One bartender. On a packed Saturday night. If true, this is truly Olympic-level mismanagement. Shame on Earl's for staffing like it's a slow Tuesday in February. The third (and final!) time we saw her was when we begged for the check so we could escape. The food: A burger with "just cheese" should mean just cheese. Instead, it came with sauce, tomatoes, and pickles--basically everything except lettuce. The new bibimbap special? Under-seasoned ground beef, a couple lonely mushroom strips, mushy kimchi, and rice served in a plastic bowl. A plastic bowl. How is rice supposed to crisp up in a bowl that melts if you look at it too hard? The tuna poke was the final betrayal--chewy white veins in the tuna (love that for us), hard avocado, and mangoes so sour they should come with a warning label. Inedible. Truly. Nope. Never eating here again. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but we'll never know because there are way too many great places to eat around the back bay/ south end to bother coming back here. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, good service. Volume of restaurant is a bit loud with music and consistent talking of other patrons, but is not a bad thing for the vibe. Playlist of music is good. Truffle Tortellini was 5/5, upgraded to the filet - asked for medium rare tho and came up medium well Pork chop 5/5 Blackened salmon 4/5 broccoli was too spicy Ribeye 4.5 a little heavy on the seasoning read more

The ambiance of this establishment is welcoming. The our waitor Butter was friendly and made recommendation of food and drinks. All the food I received was cold. I read several reviews about the food coming out cold and thought maybe the kitchen had a bad day. I ordered a surf and turf which I had to send back as it was not prepared as asked. This chowder had good flavor but required heating up. The entire experience was not one to remember when it came to food. read more

I ordered 4 oz steak & sushi at Earls in Boston. My husband also ordered 6 oz steak size with Sushi. When our food was delivered the steaks were almost the same size. The bill came out and we found out that my husband's steak was ＄30 more than mine for 2 oz more of steak...and, to add insult to injury, we were charged a 3% administrative fee. Really poor overall experience.....and poor management. We won't be back and certainly will share our experience with our friends. read more

This was one of thee best meals I've ever had and definitely a top meal while in Boston. Me and my co worker went here to bond after finishing day two of our show. Our waiter was amazing! His name was Daniel and he truly went above and beyond. We ended up talking to him some after eating and he seems like a really nice genuine person. He was also easy on the eyes so that never hurts. For my first cocktail I ordered a mango coconut margarita. It was pretty good but my second cocktail the passion fruit martini was 10/10. It was so perfect. I ordered the steak and sushi. For the sushi I got the aburi salmon sushi press with the 4oz steak that comes served in ponzu sauce. We also got a lobster tail to share and a crab cake. The crab cake was really good, I do wish it had big chunks of the crab meat, but the flavor was amazing and so was the sauce on the plate which was a caper remoulade. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly, succulent and tender and well seasoned. I really enjoyed it. My steak was cooked perfectly and the ponzu sauce paired really well. However, that sushi. That was the best bite all night. It was so simple but you could taste the freshness and the quality of the ingredients. The salmon was so delicious and everything was perfect about the sushi. We also got dessert thanks to the restaurant manager Sarah for the recommendation, we got the chocolate cake with ice cream and like a brittle on the plate. It was 10/10. The perfect sweet treat to end the meal with. The ambiance was really nice. I liked the lounge + bar feel but you could still have a nice conversation with the ppl you came with. If you are in Boston you should be eating here for sure! I had a great experience and the food was excellent. read more

Earls is a restaurant inside the Prudential Mall in the Back Bay. The location is just a few steps inside the Boylston St entrance. The atmosphere is hipster with dim lighting and music throughout the dining room. We had dinner on Saturday night and it was very busy, we were seated quickly thanks to our reservation. I have to give an extra compliment regarding the staff. My other half suffers from back issues and Earls went out of their way to accommodate him. We were seated in a cozy round booth, thank you Earls. The food was delicious. The wontons were a great start and the portions were generous for an appetizer. I loved the scallops and shrimp spaghetti, it was outstanding and unique with the pesto/almond sauce. The steak and sushi was a winner as well, it's a small portion of steak but a larger portion is available with an upgrade. The crispy salmon was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and definitely recommend to locals and tourists alike. Prices are more than fair for Boston. Rooftop dining is available. read more

Located inside the prudential and was looking for a rooftop bar to grab a drink. The interior of the restaurant is really nice but since it was roll pretty cold outside, the rooftop bar is actually enclosed and you don't really get the "feeling" of being at a rooftop bar. I actually think sitting inside would have been nicer in this case. Seating outside was first come first service. The bartender was really nice. Decided to grab their passion fruit specialty drink which was delicious and very well made. read more

This was my third time coming to earls and I honestly love this place so much. The two times that I came in for food, I had lunch and dinner. Please make a reservation because the line can get very long during peak hours. I had a reservation for lunch (years ago) and decided to venture back for a late night dinner after a long day of traveling. I was so happy that they are open late and scarfed down all my food. My server was so nice and attentive. We loved the chicken tacos, guacamole & truffle fries. The portions were large and well worth the price. Since we came towards the end of the night, it wasn't too loud or busy. A few days later, we came back for some drinks and there was not space for a table so we went to the bar. We almost left but then saw people leave from the bar and rushed to snag the spots. Our bartender was super nice and poured us some great drinks. I'll definitely stop by whenever I'm in town! read more

Dining here for the first time, I was excited to try the delicious-looking food. The menu offered a variety of appealing options, and the aromas from the kitchen were enticing. While the meal itself was quite good, the service unfortunately fell short of expectations. A more attentive server would have greatly enhanced the overall experience. I hope future visits will bring an improvement in this area. It was also my wife and daughter birthday and I called head and ask for a surprise desert and they forgot ..

The restaurant space on the second floor is huge and includes booths, tables, bar seating, counter seating at the sushi bar, tall tables in the bar area, and a large covered patio seating area. We made reservations ahead of time for patio seating only to learn that the entire patio had been "bought out" for the hour we had reserved. That was disappointing, since we selected this location because we wanted to dine on the patio. Once we got over our initial disappointment, we opted to stay and we were sat in a corner booth farthest from the patio. The restaurant was busy and it was LOUD, there were points in our conversation where my friend and I were screaming at each other just to be heard above all of the chatter and noise around us. I ordered the clam chowder to start, which sounded interesting because it has chunks of tomatoes and big bacon bits throughout. It was tasty but didn't resemble any clam chowder I've ever had before. I also ordered the surf and turf and our server did his best to upsell each step of the way. I ended up paying extra for the lobster tail instead of the shrimp the dish comes with and added the herbed butter to my sirloin. The food was good and when we were done with our meal, we went and had a drink on the patio, which was a lovely experience. read more

I was so excited to try this place! We came down from Maine for a two-night stay just to stroll around and eat delicious food. I'd had my sights on Earl's after reading some great reviews. The minute I walked in, I felt this dueling banjos atmosphere of tiki outpost meets garden suburbia - almost a "Blade Runner" vibe as one looks up at the illuminated skyscrapers through the glass of the outdoor bar & patio seating. We did not have reservations and I knew the risk; we are staying at a convention center and many groups had converged on this hotel for meetings. My wife and I got REALLY LUCKY to find two unoccupied seats at the upstairs bar, directly facing the grill. For any of you who have worked in or managed kitchens, or functioned as a server in a high-end production machine such as Earl's .. you know this seat can be a blessing and a curse. It was great to watch and see and HEAR the "behind the scenes" motion machine, as we sipped our drinks and looked at the menu. Our server Caroline was lovely and accommodating. As we chilled out at the bar (I usually dislike having a "d-Luxe" dinner at a bar seat) we selected entrees and enjoyed the action around us. It was very busy, due in part to the convention traffic. At some point in time, there was a glitch, and perhaps only a fine dining veteran would have caught this. I caught it. I had ordered a unique plating experience .. and although I was still relaxing and taking in the scene, I spotted it leaving the grill when finished. I actually was seeing the steak being grilled in real time .. temp: rare. I had ordered a ribeye with peppercorn sauce and double grilled broccolini in lieu of garlic mashed potatoes. It left the grill, plated, and went under a lamp, ready for pickup. My wife had chosen for dinner a Filet Surf n Turf with grilled shrimp. Now: my assumption was one of two: Either the filet went out slightly BEFORE the ribeye or, more likely, it was put up first. As I continued to watch the rare ribeye hang out under the lamp, draped in hot peppercorn brandy sauce, with neighboring inharmonious broccolini feeling forgotten about, I think we both finally realized that another server grabbed the medium surf n turf that should have been partnered with the Ribeye. That happens - it happens a lot actually, I have seen it in our kitchen BUT this does not have to occur as often as it does. There can be a very rudimentary marking / signaling / color-code system put in place. Or just paying attention works, too. At this point I am aggravated and incensed that this kind of place could hedge this rookie mistake. The peppercorn ribeye has now left the interrogation lamp and has been lovingly placed in the land of misfit toys. It has now been 30 minutes. I am timing this, actually excited to see how they are going to correct this maneuver. We don't know where the filet went and the line is momentarily clear and there is no filet on the grill. Puzzling. It is about this time that I stop Caroline and ask her to listen to something I want to share with her. I gesture for her to lean in closer. "I want to let you know about something that is currently in the pipeline. My dinner has been plated and ready for just around 40 minutes now; it's right over there (pointing) and several of the chefs have picked it up and poked at it and made confused faces but have not really inquired with anyone about it. I can understand that maybe it is waiting for its filet counterpart, but it has been 40 minutes and there is not a filet & shrimp in sight. Do to this asynchronous misinformed oversight, the entire vibe and excitement of dining here is now nothing but embers, and I want both steaks remade, synchronously, and this is not a request. It is a guideline of what is to happen." Can you even believe it was another ten minutes before Caroline began explaining to one of the kitchen overseers what I had patiently explained to her? I have been on her end of it and it is not fun for a server to be tagged on this .. no less, when it involves $150 worth of prime meat. No one wants to waste that kind of money, but as I sulked and looked over at the ribeye, whose blanket had now congealed and whose lifelight was barely faint .. the dry broccolinI .. the once juicy and crisp pieces of fat on the marbled steak .. the love for this dining room and atmosphere was now extinguished, and we asked to pay for our drinks, and communicated that we would not be paying for our dinner which was still partially in purgatory. I was very sad that I didn't get to eat that steak, freshly prepared. And my wife felt the same dismay. For clarification, we did not eat our steaks; we left. I would heartfully like to praise the kitchen manager (plain clothes guy) and our server, Caroline, for their many alternative suggestions to satisfy us. The mood had disintegrated, leaving us sore and disconnected. We were just too let down to enjoy a nice dinner read more

While wandering around Earl's was the first restaurant we ran into. We hadn't looked it up prior, so we weren't really sure what to expect. Once we got inside. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and quite elegant. Our server was very attentive and provided excellent recommendations for us to order. There was not a dish that we tried that we didn't like. I really enjoyed the crabcake because it was full flavor and the steak Frites were cooked to perfection. The dessert was the perfect amount of sweetness, and the drinks are very well-made. The entire experience was a memorable one and we will definitely dine here again in the future if we have opportunity. read more

I love Earl's. The service is always amazing. Staff are friendly and attenative and usually knowledgable about menu items. Their menu items are delicious and there are so many items to choose from. My personal favorite has been the angry lettuce wraps, they are the perfect blend of refreshing yet savory. I have gone to Earl's just for these wraps. I genuinely talk about them so much that my friends texted me condolences when they were taken off the menu (please bring them back). Their cocktails are also delicious, I am a big fan of the marilyn monroe (now the passion fruit martini). The prudential location also has a great vibe to it. Whether it's date night or a girl's night out, lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed by the array of seating and the elegance of the venue. read more

Overall: a bit of a mixed experience but I probably should've known better. Food was extremely average for the price unsurprisingly and the service left a little more to be desired. Service: we got seated and waited around for a waiter to come serve us for 10 minutes. Mostly cause we didn't get a drink menu. After we got the drink menu I was super ecstatic to try their Yuzu Colada. Waited another 10 minutes for the waiter to come back. When I ordered he told me the machine was down which would've been nice to know when he handed us the menu because I had to reconsider my other option. Then when we put in food it was really bizarre that our friend's burger came out a solid 10 more minutes before our sandwiches did instead of altogether. Food: price is pretty exorbitant for very mediocre food. Their drinks sounded good if we had gotten to order them. I think overall the restaurant has potential for maybe a second try but it's weirdly upscale without the upscale experience... read more

I arrived in Boston after an 8 hour drive with my family. We decided on Earl's after viewing their menu here on YELP. They seemed to have ample options for me and because of my dietary limitations I always view the menu before dining at an establishment. The ambiance is nice maybe a bit loud but nice overall. My kids ordered a sprite and coke both arrived FLAT and no sweetness. The manager comes out to discuss some of the dietary concerns regarding because my son ordered something GF. Then another manager comes our table to argue with me about the fact YELP has this menu wrong and it's not their fault. I was shocked at his inability to understand that had zero to do with me as a customer. He said something about this YELP page being posted by customers uploading the menu and I literally handed him my phone to show him this is posted under their restaurant and he became even more hostile. Such a bizarre response. Regardless I was floored he argued with me embarrassing me in front of my step daughter who we drove to visit. We ended up ordering kids meals and the food was unbelievably small portions and lukewarm at best. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone based on poor management responses to guests and the quality of the food and service we received dining there for the first time. REMOVE the stupid MENU from Yelp if it's old!! read more

Went to Earls for brunch after a nice run -- our second time here, and once again, it didn't disappoint. We sat at the bar patio outside -- perfect vibes, sunny and relaxed. Service started a little slow but picked up quickly, and the staff was friendly throughout. The bartenders' recommendations were spot on -- the mango margarita and key lime pie were absolutely on point. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Overall, a great spot to chill, unwind, and enjoy a laid-back brunch. Definitely coming back again. read more

Earl's is such a great spot where there is something for everyone!

Came here with a large group to celebrate a friend's bachelorette. The ambience is nice, it is located inside of the mall and has swanky vibes. Unfortunately, my experience was lackluster. The food left much to be desired, and the prices of some of these items were honestly ridiculous. I also felt as though the drinks were on the watery side. If I am going to pay $20 for a drink, it better be strong! Anyway, I ordered the chicken parmesan with risotto as my entrée. I will say that the portion was huge, but the food itself was almost inedible. Both the chicken and risotto were incredibly salty. I had to ask the others at my table to try the chicken to see if it was salty or if it was just me, but everyone agreed that it was too salty. As a bunch of people tried the dish, there was not much left on the plate, so I didn't want to complain to the server about the dish that was almost completely gone. Unsure if this was a one-time issue, but I will not be back to give it another try. read more
