    The waiter was very nice and efficient and the atmosphere was lovely and clean. Lots of interesting details to appreciate in the decor. The food itself was outstanding. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the dishes. The clam chowder was a spot on and meatloaf was incredible.

    It was our 37th Wedding Anniversary and when we were seated, along came 2 glasses of bubbly and a congratulatory greeting from our Server. We had a sensational 4 course meal and at the end of the meal we were again surprised by a gorgeous, complimentary dessert “warm donuts with ice cream and chocolate script “Happy Anniversary”! What an incredible restaurant and Staff. We have a reservation pre- New Years Eve celebration, with our daughter and partner. It’s her Birthday dinner and it’s a surprise right now. Wonderful experience, thank you “Earth”!

    We a had a wonderful dinner before attending a show. Our waiter Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delicious from our antipasto platter, cocktails, pasta dishes and crème brûlée with biscotti. I had the pasta with mushrooms and I would definitely order it again. Homemade biscotti was to die for! Looking forward to returning.
