Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood.

    Another fabulous meal! Loved the Caesar salad, followed by delicious scallops, cooked beautifully. My dining partner had the lobster bisque and Sablefish, also very tasty. We shared crème brûlée and a berry Pavlova for dessert. Nice selection of wines by the glass. Our server was good, very helpful with helping me find gluten free options and suggestions for courses.

    Food and service were excellent. I asked for a drinkable dry red wine it was perfect. Being told we had a time limit on the table was a little different, but not a first for us. We did not feel rushed but we knew we needed to move along. Cheers George

    Excellent dining experience. Went with the family for dinner and our server was so friendly and attentive. We had a citrus allergy and they were very good about it. Whenever there was a dish with citrus, they made sure to explain and let us know. They also had high chairs available. Food was excellent and our server's recommendations were spot on. Everything we had was delicious and fresh, but the ones that stood out were of course the Oshi and Aburi, lamb chops, sable fish, Mushroom risotto, and the cranberry Hojicha cheesecake for dessert.

    You always know what you’re getting here. Very similar to others in the chain, clearly the same menu. I was surprised how good the oysters were as Earl is not a place. I would ordinarily consider ordering oysters. Servers or nice and efficient. Also quite attentive. As always, I find Earl’s a bit overpriced for the quality and amount of food. In this case, this version of Earls is quite loud as it is a wide open space.  All in all if you enjoy Earl, this is a good one.

    Portions have gotten smaller for some of the dishes - we ordered 2 desserts, waited 20 minutes never arrived so cancelled them. This trip was not up to their usual high standards
