Yesterday, we were served by Naomi, a very attentive waitress. Everything was served very quickly. The food was slightly different from the last time - we ordered the steak with sushi again, and my husband had the blackened chicken, followed by desserts. The chocolate cake was salty, which is probably a Canadian twist, but it felt unusual for us. There was also a girl playing the violin alongside a DJ during our dinner, which made the evening very romantic.

Booked a lunch for 9, (including 6 grandkids) as a pre - lion king treat! We moved it from 12.00 to 11.30 due to the early 1.00pm start. The restaurant is a perfect location for the theatres, I find Earls menu interesting and well presented. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we got timely service! A very nice start to a lovely afternoon…

The service and food was great. Only complaint is that we were seated by the window and it was extremely cold. I had to wear my coat.

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
