They will play the entire record, which is awesome, but I think the difficulty is not knowing what vibe the patrons are feeling so the music can be hit or miss if you're not enjoying someone else's choice. I love the vibes and the cozy seating, it's perfect for a date night. The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side. I think it was $19 for mine and it was okay. Not worth that cost but I think they're paying more the ambiance than anything else. I'll definitely want to come back and chill but maybe consider a simple drink vs a signature cocktail. Everyone was super friendly and I really enjoyed my time!

It was a bit chilly out , so We started with the mushroom bisque special. It was so good I want the recipe and would literally put this on top of everything I cook at home!!! Misty our waitress suggested the burger and it was as good as advertised! My husband ordered it but I beefed for at least 2 more bites after tasting bit ! So good. I wanted the crispy chicken sandwich which apparently Is also popular, but needs some greens. I ended up ordering the kiwi strawberry salad ( kale ) and she allowed me to add crispy chicken on top. Best of both worlds! I will say the crispy chicken is VERY spicy FYI . Ambiance is cute. They have indoor & outdoor seating. Owe sat indoors and it was fun to watch the cooks at work. We would definitely make it a priority if ever visiting this area again !

There was live music near our table, too! Drinks and presentation were great - I had the fig and thyme negroni sour, which was lovely. For shared plates, we started with the George's bank scallops which came with poblano pesto, saffron aioli, rutabaga, and butternut squash. Next we had the lasagna al forno with Wagyu beef, short rib, Italian sausage, ricotta, aged Gouda, and mozzarella. The combination sounded incredible, but it was a bit dry for our liking. Finally, we had the little neck clam bucatini with miso butter, oven dried tomatoes, scallion, and furikake. I would've appreciated a thicker or more flavorful sauce, but this was a nice experience overall and I'd come back!

What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is the incredible level of customer service they provided after our visit. While leaving to head to the park with our younger children, I accidentally left behind my favorite pair of sunglasses--brand new and purchased just a week before our trip. When I called the restaurant, they had thankfully found them. Not only did they hold onto them for me, but they went completely above and beyond by carefully packaging and mailing them back to me. They even made sure they were protected so they wouldn't break during shipping. I was so relieved and incredibly grateful for the kindness and effort their team showed. It's rare to find a business that cares this much about its customers long after they've left the restaurant. Thank you for turning what could have been a disappointing situation into such a positive experience. We will definitely be back on our next trip up north. Cheers!

We ordered the Apple Carpaccio, very tasty, and the Chicken Cutlet, which is served topped with a Caesar Salad and croutons. The cutlet itself was slightly overcooked, but still good, and the dish was very good overall. It's about a 40-minute drive for us, but we both agreed that's it's worth the trip for a unique, fun experience. Well done, Otis!

It's not the bartender as much as the horrible ingredients. You'd think a high class cocktail bar would boast the very best. The food goes hand in hand as awful. You should still come to the Earl and spend some quality time in the LO bar/HI bar. Order a glass of wine or a beer. That will give you the best odds of a great experience! 02/24
