At the Earle we usually order a variety of appetizers plus a pasta dish and a dessert to share. Usually we love everything --- with the memorable exception of, long ago, a particular eel dish ... ew. The wines are excellent but can consume a lot of your budget. Still, a really great glass of wine, combined with the food and the surroundings (a very old brick-walled cellar, high-ceilinged and dark) make for a can't-miss night out.

We came to Ann Arbor to celebrate our son's birthday, who is a student at University of Michigan. He had a fabulous time -- he loved the atmosphere, the service is wonderful. Caprese appertizer was fresh; risoto ball appertizer is light and cheesy, which is really good. Both steaks Saut�ed Beef Tenderloin Bourguignonne and Saut�ed Beef Tenderloin with Roquefort are excellent. My Saut�ed Duck Breasts is tender and quite tasty.

Very dark cave atmosphere. Would probably have been romantic if I had not been there by myself. I had the beef Bourguignonne which was rather bland but the scallopped potatoes and haricot verts were very good. The desert was also nothing to write home about; a Pear and Apple cake in a creme sauce.

If you're going to eat at The Earle - eat at the bar. The menu is as good, the food more simple and cheaper and the service faster. The mussels are a rare Ann Arbor dining bargain

While the main entres were very good, the service was only fair. After we decided to not order a bottle of wine, there was much less interest in our table. Our table was too small for our party--we kept bumping knees and there was not enough room to be comfortable. The cost estimate is a little low--even without alcoholic drinks, our bill with tip was $50.00 per person. We might try again, but our expectations would be lower than the revi
