Food was just OK. Calamari and Cesar salad was good as an appetizer. As for the mains we got the blackened salmon that was overcooked with basmati rice that was tasting very stale. We also got the garlic shrimp spaghettini and Hunan Kung Pao chicken was good. The portions are big.
Have always had great service at 8th Ave Earls. Food is always amazing.
Food was amazing, had a reso but got there early and they say us right away. Staff friendly. Forgot our drink order, but overall very good
Everything was good. I recommended for all kinds of meeting
Honestly felt a very strong sense of discrimination coming from the hostess when 7 of us tried to get a table at around 11:30 PM on Canada Day. The restaurant was barely occupied, with probably 25% capacity. We went to the front and was ignored by several of the staff and finally got the attention of the hostess at the front. We politely asked if they had room for a table of 7 and we literally could not believe the air of arrogance we received from her. She responded in the most rude voice that they aren’t taking a table of 7 because their servers cannot handle that volume right now and just turned around and walked away. It was so abrupt and rude and frankly disgusting - it wasn’t even what she was saying but her tone. We figured it’d be hard to get a table on Canada Day with the number of people we had, but we were polite when asking. Also, what restaurant does not prepare themselves for proper staffing on a national holiday in a hotspot in the city? We didn’t even get a chance to ask further questions such as splitting up the tables, since she had literally turned her back to us already. But what really disturbs me is that you could tell that she was judging that we were a party of colour and perhaps had biases that our business wouldn’t be worth their server’s time. We all left feeling like it truly stemmed from discrimination as we all heard her tone and what it entailed. Im disappointed in this experience as we have always enjoyed going to Earl’s after work but the way we were treated last night when the restaurant was empty, being ignored and then getting turned away will forever leave a sour taste in my mouth.I was looking through recent reviews to see if anyone else has experienced the same type of discrimination in the past and it looked like someone was turned away in a very similar situation. I hope management strongly reevaluates their sensitivity training and staffing issues.
Great food and great service!!
Thomas was our server and he was great. Food was tasty, drinks were yummy
Enjoyed sitting on the patio with very quick and attentive service.
Service was prompt. Seating was comfortable. Noise level was low enough that we could converse without effort.
The meal was good and the service was excellent. I would recommend this location.
