    Awesome ambiance! But, inattentive service, forgotten orders and overly salty food left a lot to be desired. Given the pricing and aspirations not up to par with expectations. Sorry, but this won’t be a repeat and we were truly looking forward to this experience

    We had not been to Earth before and knew it would be was a great venue for a milestone birthday celebration (at least three other tables had the same plan that night.) The online reservation was hassle-free. The ambiance was quiet and elegant in a woodsy kind of way. The service was welcoming and helpful. We each chose the 4-course option. Although the portions weren't large (perfect in my view), we were sated by the third course and took our desserts home. Mushroom Bisque and Roasted Beets were our first courses; the bisque was velvet-smooth and flavorful and the beets were delicate and beautiful. Lamb Meatballs with Tomato Chutney, Yogurt and Feta were amazing and beautifully presented. My husband had the Fettuccini with Smoked Salmon and Dill. Our entrees were Halibut with Pancetta, Lemon Risotto and Little Neck Clams (the risotto was creamy and assertively lemony), and Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Butternut Puree, Pepitas and Pickled Apple. Overall our whole meal was excellent without being fussy or pretentious.

    Every single dish that showed up at our table was amazing! The brazed short ribs left me speechless as did the desert. The staff was amazing, from perfect service to knowing when to let our tables conversation flow. It was a gem to find after moving to Portland three years ago. This will definitely be a destination for us for years to come. Cheers

    Wow. From the moment you enter, you know you are in for a distinctive experience. The room is gorgeous, the ambiance is unique, incredible. Everything about the meal was outstanding, from the service to the food, to the most incredible cocktails you can imagine. To say we enjoyed our experience at Earth, would be the understatement of the century. This place is amazing, There really isn't anything like it.

    Went for my partners birthday and had an incredible experience. I chose the 3 courses(wishing I had done 4 because the food was amazing but 3 was plenty portion wise) and he chose the 4, the portions were perfect and each dish was cooked to perfection. Everything was so flavorful and it was honestly the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend for any special occasion or date night. The ambiance is unbeatable and the service was attentive
