   We love Test Kitchen Went for a double date. We had dine out The steak was mediocre but everything else was great. Super attentive service Both managers stopped by to check in and the server was delightful, not overbearing but attentive. Atmosphere at TK is always on point. Will be back soon. Earls is such a classic.

   A fun happy hour before our 6:00 movie next door. Got our order in just in the nick of time! Truffle fries and crispy potato bites were delish and the charred corn avocado dip a bit too raw oniony. Come time for the bill I was a bit stunned that my house Red came in at $13.75! Eeks! Hate to complain but really?!

   I booked through Open table for dine out lunch. Open table had me pay for the 2x $35 prix fixe in the app with a credit card. The food was decent. My fettuccine Alfredo was on the dry side… could have used more Alfredo sauce. Clam chowder starter and sticky toffee pudding dessert were very good. At the end of the meal, the server brought the bill, and I asked her what about the charge on open table to my credit card? She assured me that that was only to hold the reservation and nothing was charged to my card. So my friend paid the bill at the restaurant. I get home and checked my credit card charges with online banking, and what do you know! There’s a $70 charge on my visa! So then I called up the restaurant, and apparently it was a mistake by OpenTable (really?!) and Earls is aware of it and working to issue refunds to guests affected. So now I have to chase down this refund to make sure it comes through. What a hassle! They really should get their wires uncrossed to begin with so guests don’t have to deal with the aftermath. It looks like OpenTable has removed the required credit card to book the table now. This may be no fault of Earls but the servers should have been made aware some guests who booked through OT may have been pre-charged and NOT double charge us in the end.

   Stopped in for a quick bite before a movie. Seated quickly and the wait staff was extremely friendly. I don't mind it, but at one point it seemed a bit much. Still, they were extremely attentive and helpful. I ordered a vegan Kung Pao dish and it was great. Things are pricey now at restaurants and Earl's is no exception unfortunately. It was over forty dollars with tip. A lot for a quick bite, but attractive surroundings and great service made it bearable.

   Clam chowder was excellent. Cobb salad was Mediocre and nothing special for the price. Server was excellent. Nice to have 1/2 off bottle of wine.
