    Excellent meal with great service in a cozy setting. Everything was great, but the filets were simply outstanding. Very nice raspberry almond cake. Top notch Ann Arbor dining experience.

    Hostess and Abigail, our wait staff, were great. Very attentive and personable and checked on us frequently to make sure that are needs and expectations were being met. Food was delicious from the homemade bread and homemade butter to the main entrees and dessert. Nice ambience to be sure.

    We had the best time at The Earle celebrating our daughter’s 22nd birthday. I had made a reservation but one of her friends joined us the day of and I was not aware until we arrived at the restaurant. The host was very gracious and accommodating. They added another seat to our table and made us feel welcome. Our services was excellent. The food was amazing. I had the goat cheese and beet salad and would eat that every day! It was delicious! My daughter and her friends ordered several desserts and our waitress brought them out with a lit candle. I thought that was such a nice touch as I didn’t even request it but they just did it for her. The ambience was super cool and we loved the live music. I would definitely recommend going!

    Love that The Earle continues to provide reliably wonderful service, food, and ambiance! Always a first choice for our Birthdays dinners, or entertaining special visiting guests! The four of us enjoyed our visit and had a great meal.
