   Absolutely fantastic experience overall. Service was also amazing. The students did a phenomenal job overall. You get started off with a small random appetizer as a creation from one of the students - we had a tuna tataki and it was anctually one of our favourite parts of the meal. The bread/pastry starters were probably the best bread we’ve ever had at a restaurant - warm, flavourful, flaky, delicious, with fresh butter on the side. Mains were tasty, felt like a fusion with influences taken from multiple cuisines. Pasta noodles almost felt like an in between of Italian and Chinese noodles. The game hens were tender and juicy. Only comment is the herb flavours were a little on the heavy side. Dessert profiteroles and chocolates were 10/10 - highly recommend. Fresh cream, warm profiterole, and overall delicious. I love the fact that the students really do seem to put their all into preparing the meals, and that they genuinely care about the quality and outcome. The menu is small, but I believe it’s a rotating menu. Having some different options every visit is a big plus in my opinion.

   We went for lunch at Ernest's. The food was excellent, arrived quickly, and service was attentive and prompt. Overall we left feeling very satisfied- we had a great meal for the price. Would definitely recommend, and am looking to try out the dinner menu in the future.

   Great place to take teens and pre teens for a fancy dinner. Kitchen can get backed up so next time I would plan on eating earlier in the evening

   I went to Ernest’s with my mom to celebrate her birthday. They had a little card waiting for her on our table when we arrived, wishing her a happy birthday. She was so pleased; it was a very thoughtful touch. The menu is fairly small, but has a little bit of everything to choose from, including several meat options, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free etc. and they are willing to accommodate other dietary requirements. I also noted there were a lot of Canadian ingredients, which I appreciated seeing. They notified us that they had an ‘Eat, Learn, Celebrate’ special in which we could get any appetizer, entree and desert for $32. It was a fantastic deal. They also gave us a free selection of freshly baked breads and butter to start. The food was incredible. Prepared with a skillful touch and cooked to perfection. Cocktails were also delicious. When our dessert arrived, they wrote ‘Happy Birthday’ on mom’s plate in dark chocolate. She was thrilled, and I was very grateful for all the little details they provided to help make her feel special on her big day. I’d absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone. The quality of the food and service, especially when compared to the price, is fantastic. 10/10

    It was our first time to experience Ernesto. I cannot believe.I have lived in edmonton for 55 years, And this was my first time!! I went with my sister for her birthday.And we were extremely pleased with everything. From entry to exit it was the best dining experience at every level I have ever experienced. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The quality, taste and presentation of the food was beyond the five stars you allow. Starting off with the delicious bread and butter would have been enough... The lunch menu had a large variety of options which I was not expecting and found it very difficult to choose. I have already booked my next visit there and I plan many more. It probably is a good thing that it is so difficult to get a reservation at this restaurant, Otherwise I might go far more often than I could afford Thank you for the wonderful experience and meal.I cannot wait to go back. It was an absolute pleasure. I feel I found a treasure today!🥰
