    Wonderful experience. We had the chefs tasting menu and everything was outstanding. Service was top notch and the cocktails were delicious. I had my 7 week old with me and a member of the Richmond Station team approached me on my way to the washroom to ask if I needed a place to change her. So very kind. We look forward to returning!

    I’ve been to quite a few locations, I absolutely love the food at each one. This one in particular has excellent service from the minute you walk in. The food was excellent, extremely fresh as well. I also loved that our server/bartender since we sat at the bar didn’t try to push us to order excessively. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. I highly recommend the ceviche, Milo’s special, and of course the tomato salad, and any fish in the market to have baked with a salt crust.

    When we arrived (for a birthday) we were originally sat at the lounge side which was a bit frustrating since I had made the reso weeks in advance. After asking the waitress to be moved to the dining side of the restaurant the entire night went off without a hitch. They quickly found us a better table and service was amazing. Quick, friendly and polite. There is a coat check service which is very handy in the winter season and the managerial staff are extraordinary, popping in to each table to see how things are going. Food and drinks were also amazing and the ambience had a great vibe without being too loud. Really enjoyed our evening at Daphne and we will be back. The service alone makes it a must visit for a luxury dining experience.

    The service stands out as the thing that made this most enjoyable, the staff were amazing and that is quite an accomplishment because it was a very busy night. Food of course was also good but what we expected from Earls.
