    Food was excellent! Great service! Very personable and timely. Gave us a private room for a party of 10 which was very nice and unexpected. The main dining room was bustling because it was pouring rain unfortunately. Have been when the weather was good and they have a beautiful outdoor seating and bar area.

    Went for Mothers Day brunch and had a fantastic experience. Complimentary mimosas, photo op backdrop, complimentary cards in the men's restroom to write a last minute card for mom, and even a gift for mom from the restaurant before leaving. They blew my expectations out of the water, and I haven't even mentioned the food. The food was so good, we're already planning to go back. Every item was spot on. Ambience and service was also great. Absolutely loved it!

    We had a wonderful experience at Earl’s Kitchen! Our server Emily G was absolutely phenomenal, attentive, warm, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her customer service truly stood out and made the visit extra special. The food was delicious, but honestly, the service took it to another level. If you’re looking for a place where the whole experience great food and great hospitality comes together, Earl’s Kitchen delivers. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Emily!

    My wife and I arrived a little early for our reservation and the venue was packed. We had a drink from the bar to await our table. Our wait was not unreasonably long and we were seated. Our server Laina was quite knowledgeable of the menu and steered us toward dishes we would find tantalizing and which were her favorites. She did NOT go wrong there! Each dish was amazing. We went with the seafood ceviche which had an orangey flavor to the marinade (great choice). My wife’s salmon Caesar salad simply disappeared off her plate (another success!). Since I love to cook and amaze my wife, we normally eat in as I find many recipes to keep our tastebuds busy. I went with the recommended wood-fired branzino with truffle fries and broccolini. Yes, please!! As my wife’s birthday is this month, Laina surprised us with a donut tree sparkler with three dipping sauces. A sweet ending to a lovely experience at YOLO. We shall be back. It’s nice to find fantastic cuisine in our backyard! Your locals thank you YOLO. And thank you Laina!
