    Outstanding. Food was great, service was great. It was my wife's birthday, just the two of us, and I wanted something special. I booked a booth beforehand and let the staff know it was her birthday. We had to change the time of our reservation beforehand - easy process there. When we arrived the booth was set aside, and a birthday card sat on our table. Staff brought her a nice birthday dessert later on. We have been to Earl's at King West several times now. I really recommend it.

    From the moment we walked in the service was excellent. Chelsea was our server and was a delight. Her knowledge of the menu was very helpful. I had the steak and sushi, delicious! My husband's prawns, however, were cold with no hint of garlic or lemon, and Chelsea had them comped. Tuesday half price wines were a pleasant surprise! We will definitely be back!

    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.
