Went to Earls for brunch to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday. The birthday girl was treated really special receiving a beautiful handwritten birthday card and free dessert with a candle. We all had a variety of eggs Benedict and each one was delicious. The service was great!

Delicious food…. Burgers, poke bowl and Vietnamese lettuce wraps! Excellent service. A little noisy but not enough to bother us terribly. Good coffee which is touch and go when eating out these days.

Love the vibe! It's always my go-to place for meetings later in the evenings when you have a lot to talk about, or to treat my team members after a project we completed! I love the spacious seating arrangement, and I especially love the booth seating and how it offers a bit more privacy, which results in less distractions, which is especially appreciated setting to have a nice catch -up with a friend, a business lunch or meeting. You can actually hear yourself and others speaking (lol) which is also nice when you are having a meal with someone that may have a harder time with hearing. The little polenta bites they give you when you arrive is such a nice welcoming touch and is always appreciated. They are so delicious and always leaves you wanting more, or making you want to order more sharing options (They are all amazing btw) The atmosphere from the ambience with their lighting to their service has always been wonderful every time I visit. Their cocktails are delicious, with an exceptional variety of zero proof options to choose from, that are as equally as delicious, and prepared with the same amount of effort as a fancy cocktail with alcohol. The food and pasta is so delicious and not overpriced, making this place a great choice to go for something a little fancy but also affordable. This place is on my rotation and I visit or order in from here at least a couple of times a month, with the Braised Beef Campanelle being my favourite item to order each time I visit!
