My best friend and I went to Earth for dinner last Saturday. I hadnt been there for over a year. It was such a surprise, incredible, unexpected experience, way above our expectations. From a culinary perspective, the menu is super well balanced with dishes that are comforting and innovating. The kitchen executes it to perfection, using outstanding produce and cooking it all in a way that showcases each element on your plate, yet never managing to hide one from the other. One thing I loved was the fact that all protein was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, never needing any sauces to mask its own flavour. We had duck, fish, venison, roasts carrots, ravioli, the tuna sashimi, the scallops and the soup of the day. Portions are perfectly sized. In my opinion, outstanding value for money. The wine list is excellent. Diverse, affordable and complementary to the menu. Deserts were nice as well, especially the Opera Cake and the Pavlova (I could have had a pint of the home made raspberry sorbet that comes as a side to it!). Service was also a star milestone. We had Charlie as a waiter. It makes a huge difference when you have someone that is passionate about what hes presenting to you, knows the dishes and can honestly tell you about what they are and make genuine recommendations, on top of being good at reading the table, being present without being fake about it, and overall just another highlight of the evening, without being intrusive or over the top (which I find can be the case in some similar restaurants that are training their staff to over sell or use key moments of the evening to interject and justify a tip, or make up for not so perfect aspects of the service). Earths environment keeps you relaxed in a very beautiful and elegant room that transports you to a little fairy land of an elegant lodge lost in a wintery forest in Maine. Its very chic, yet not stuffy. Its cozy. It has a great vibe for adults, no matter the occasion. But let the Earths environment set the mood, I think you should focus on the food, if youre into it you can have fun putting together your prix fix menu and have a jolly dinner with someone you like The only aspect of the night that I think deserves attention from management is that we had a table next to us with a small child, 5 or 6, that was watching Nickelodeon on mums phone, without an earphone. My friend could hear Dora the Exploras every move in her quest to find her backpack but it was an early winter Saturday evening and the girl was a saint. I would however, empower staff to monitor and curb anyone using their phones on speakers, or FaceTime, while at their table. It was a GREAT dinner! Coming back soon!

This has to be one of the most delicious four course meal Ive had in a long time! And its for a really great price as well and I always leave full, happy, and wanting to go back! Each course has tons of options to choose from and Ive never been disappointed with what I pick! Their desserts are absolutely to die for and their house made donuts melt in your mouth!
