Interior alfresco dining.
Gary M.

November 27/2025: Lunch with Keith at a downtown location. Very enjoyable lunch. Alfresco dining at the end of November. It was my usual...Cajun chicken with warm potato salad & coleslaw. The coleslaw & potato salad were served mixed which wasn't for me. I like them separated. Excellent meal, service. Definitely a do over.

I hit up Earl's kitchen just to have a light drink after work. The bar wasn't busy at the time I went. So the service was okay. The ambiance is the regular dagler Earl's ambiance LOL. The lychee Martini should definitely be re-added to the happy hour menu because quite honestly, the happy hour menu does need a little bit of work.

Happy hour bites
Bev K.

It's been years since I've been to Earls but a colleague chose this spot for happy hour drinks and bites. Walked in at 5pm and the place was already packed. I think it's a good idea to make a reso to avoid a wait. Ordered the Aburi salmon sushi press, avocado chips and truffle fries (not pictured). It's good food for a chain restaurant but I've definitely had better bites elsewhere. What I really liked was the lively atmosphere and upbeat music. Honestly don't remember Earls being this bumpin'. Will be returning for happy hour soon. Solid 3.5 stars for good drinks and above average budget friendly food.

Steak + Sushi
Lux P.

Earls is one of those dining establishments perfect to celebrate a birthday or anniversary! I love going here as its in core downtown and in the financial district. The service is always so great with the kindest servers. When it comes to the food, the portion sizes are huge! Definitely shareable meals, and the food is delicious. Totally recommend coming here during their lunch specials because the steak and sushi is so beyond good. The drinks are also delicious here! 8.5/10 recommend!

The Happy Hour menu
Joani O.

I am in Toronto for work and Earl's is in my path so I decided to give it a try. They're on Open Table so I made a reservation to be safe. I was dining alone and all of the appetizers are to share (too much food), so I couldn't order one, but I ordered the steak frites (a filet with french fries) that also comes with salad. It was perfect. My filet was cooked perfectly and everything on the plate was delicious. I had just missed their happy hour which had great deals but I ordered a ginger kombucha which was delicious and healthy. I couldn't get the white mocha creme brûlée to go like I wanted because they torch it. So I ordered the carnelized cheesecake to go. It came with whipped cream and raspberry sauce on the side and a delicious cookie. It was a small slice for $14 and only ok, but it satisfied my sweet tooth after dinner. The whole menu looked appealing and they are reasonably priced so I'd love to come back. Paige my waitress was lovely too.

Prosciutto pizza, chicken Alfredo with garlic bread, and the fried calamari
Kateri

Came here for dinner yesterday and had a great time! The food was great and very filling. We ordered the prosciutto pizza, chicken Alfredo with garlic bread, and the fried calamari. The patio area was lovely clean, well-kept, and really aesthetically pleasing. Both our hostess and server were extremely kind. Our server was especially attentive, constantly checking in, refilling our waters, and bringing us extra sauce without us needing to ask. I'd definitely recommend the chicken Alfredo, it was rich, creamy, and satisfying. The prosciutto pizza was also really tasty, savory without being overly salty. The only dish I'd probably skip next time is the calamari, as the portion felt a bit small for the price. Other than that, everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed our evening here!

Truffle chicken Parmesan
Cindy A.

We came on a weekday and were a big group so it took a bit of time to get us seated and a while to get our drinks and food ordered. When the food and drinks did arrive it was amazing! Notably given this location is on King street there's no parking available but the upstairs patio area was really nice.

Lychee Martini
Domonique S.

I was informed that not only did they offer late night happy hour but on their late night happy hour menu you can order half priced seafood towers. Once I heard that I knew I had to check out Earls Kitchen & Bar before leaving Toronto and I am so glad that I did. The vibes and drinks we great and let me just say the seafood tower did not disappoint. It comes with freshly shucked oysters, jumbo shrimp cocktail, ahi tuna tataki, spicy California roll, and lobster tails paired with a passion fruit martini, I have to say I was in heaven lol Visiting Earls was honestly the perfect way to end not only the evening but a trip to Toronto. Will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items.

My recent visit to Earls Kitchen was truly outstanding! From the moment we walked in, the server attended to our every need with professionalism and warmth. When we requested to switch to a more comfortable seat, our server was kind to accommodated us. Surprisingly the food arrived quickly (considering how busy it looked), and the presentation was great. Every bite was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My partner and I got the Cajun Blacken Chicken with warm potatoes and salad. And then throughout our time, the server checked in regularly. Honestly, their prices were reasonable, especially considering the high quality of food, service, and ambiance. Also, they have daily specials for alcoholic beverages. I got the redwine sangria (it wasn't among the daily specials for that day). Overall, we had a great time. This is actually my 2nd time here. First time, was for our anniversary. I'll definitely be back.

Nashville chicken
Nathan H.

We were on a walk back to our hotel after the Coldplay show at around midnight. Absolutely starving and we saw Earls was still open. We waited about 10 mins for a table for 4. Our waiter Gareth was quick and friendly, making sure to check on us often. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. The manager came over and had a chat with us, which was appreciated. She is in the video off to the left on the walkthrough. We had a couple of pizza's, tacos and a Nashville chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious. We are often in TO and will be back to eat here again. Reasonably priced food and drinks with friendly staff, all around great experience!

Sangria, aperol, and fresh something
Sharon Y.

Happy hour is the bestest and the servers have always been super nice!! Esp the 9pm-late group. Music and vibes are also pretty good either happy hour times and the food is Yuma. The torched sushi press and also lowkey so good that you don't need the soy sauce (a rarity for me lolol)

cajun blackened salmon with citrus rice & broccolini
Allison G.

We sat on the patio for dinner & it was such a good vibe! The cajun blackened salmon was delicious with the citrus rice & the feta caper aioli. My friend got the noodle bowl & really liked it as well.

Avocado Benedict
Khyati D.

Weekend brunch new favorite spot!! Came in here for a quick brunch with a friend and it's love at first sight. The ambiance is just the right place to have those endless conversations. Also it wasn't so crowded so we could chat easily. Loved the food especially the thinly layered potato wedges. Avocado Benedict was quite satisfying.

Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option.

They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and nicely designed with comfortable seating. Service was a highlight -- our server was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal.

Ambiance: Stunning from the moment you walk in. Despite the soaring ceilings and two-level layout, the space still feels intimate thanks to the dim, romantic lighting. We loved being seated beside each other rather than across from one another, an option I appreciated compared to the large half-moon booths in the centre of the room. Tables line the perimeter and upper level, while small trees with twinkling lights frame the booths, adding a whimsical, almost magical touch. A window displaying the cuts of steak was a fun and enticing detail. Appetizers & Mains: Every bite impressed. The seafood atop each piece of nigiri was incredibly fresh and buttery, literally melting in your mouth. The lobster mashed potatoes were an indulgent and unforgettable accompaniment to the perfectly tender steaks, which were thoughtfully presented tableside before cooking. Dessert: We saved room (and I'm so glad we did!) My cheesecake arrived beautifully plated with a candle and birthday message, while my boyfriend enjoyed the butter cake. Both were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. Service: Every team member we encountered went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, but a heartfelt shout-out goes to our charming server, Vig. He was attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in ensuring each moment felt intentional and unique. He also shared enticing reasons to return for lunch, happy hour, and weekend brunch (options we had no idea the restaurant offered). Thoughtful Touches: From coat check, a welcome birthday cocktail, a personalized birthday card from the staff, to complimentary bubbly with dessert, every detail was thoughtfully considered. Both of us work in the area and will absolutely be spreading the word with our teams. I left feeling like a very lucky lady after such a memorable birthday celebration. We can't wait to return!

On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.
