Korean Beef Bibimbap
Meri L.

Overall my friend and I had a great lunch here with a decent experience in service. We ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings which were delicious. When they were brought out, our sever did not bring any sharing plates which made eating these dumplings a little awkward as we were sharing, but we made it work. They were very tasty! Or drinks also came out after we were done with our appetizer. A little backwards, as we would've liked to enjoy our adult beverages with our appetizer. For my entree I had the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. It was very tasty! I would say there was a little too much dashi mayo, which was overwhelming. I would order this dish again, but would request lite mayo. My friend ordered the Korean Beef Bibimbap, which she really enjoyed! Overall a good spot that I would definitely return too!

Chicken pasta

Earls is located inside Yorkdale shopping mall. It's a restaurant not worth a travel but it's convenient to dine in here when you happen to be in the mall. Whenever you go, it's always easy to make a reservation on spot. The food here is average, nothing special. We've tried Baja fish tacos (not good), poke bowl (very sour mango and avacado being too raw), chicken Alfredo pasta (not bad) and green salads (very refreshing). The restaurant is always very busy, but the service is generally okay. The servers usually proactively clean up the dishes quickly.

Surf and turf. Lobster tail was good, filet was mid.
Jeremiah S.

Came here during a conference with 14 colleagues and overall we had a really fun night. We had reservations and were seated pretty quickly after arriving, which was impressive considering the size of our group. We went big on the appetizers and ordered every sushi platter along with one of each appetizer on the menu for the table. The sushi was definitely the standout of the starters; fresh, light, and probably the best part of the meal overall. The ambiance at night was excellent for a group outing. The place has a lively energy and was loud in a good way, energetic and social without crossing into "club loud." It made for a great atmosphere to relax, laugh, and have good conversations with coworkers after a long day. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf with the lobster tail and filet. The lobster tail was very good, but the filet was a little underwhelming, especially considering the price point. Overall, it was a great experience mostly because of the atmosphere, service, and group vibe. The food itself was solid but not particularly memorable outside of the sushi. Still, I'd recommend it as a fun spot for group dinners, work events, or nights out with friends.

Steak and Crispy Rice Sushi - Spicy Salmon
Vaish S.

Earl's is always a great choice for a night out. The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour, while the sushi was fresh, well-presented, and just as impressive. The ambiance is lively and inviting, making it a great spot whether you're out for dinner or drinks. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I'm always happy to come back to!

Queen Bee Pizza
Susan H.

This location is of Earls is locates in financial district. Note there is a second location on king much closer to Spadina. If you reserve a seat make sure you have the correct location selected! This restaurant is always packed during business hours. It slow down around 2-430pm. When the restaurant is packed. Expect your meal to be an hour to an hour and a half. I ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus Mule ($8.5), the Yuzu calamari ($20.75), and the Queen Bee Pizza ($24.75) which were all delicious. My one issue with this restaurant is the prices are quite high for what you get and it's almost always busy when you actually want to eat. Overall the wait staff is kind, and I will end up returning on some sort of business lunch. I also appreciate the variety of vegetarian menu options.

Take out
Andell R.

Decided to order from this restaurant sight unseen. Never heard of this place before but it popped up on a search and I decided, why not. I got the blackened chicken with double portion of broccolini and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken breast was cooked to perfection and will rested too. So moist that at one point while cutting the chicken juice squirted across the countertop. Well portioned and flavorful. Definitely will stop in the next time I'm visiting Toronto!! Fully recommend!

Tari H.

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.

Margherita Pizza
Layla R.

now that's a god damn happy hour. i had 4 drinks, a shot, fries, and a pizza. all for less than what you'd imagine. cute space. very attractive staff i say objectively with no creepiness behind. the food was mediocre but the drinks were great :)

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.

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!

Our food was great and the happy hour prices weren't expensive. The peach bellini is definitely worth the hype!

Initially it was slow service but it picked up shortly. We had several different servers so no single server is tagged here. I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

Either the menu is a mediocre version of the actual menu, and/or the service is dismissive once they learn you're there for the 'licious set. Black + Blue had a $65 dinner menu which is pretty good for the options available. The portions were generous but the service was where things really stood out. We were treated so incredibly well by all the staff. Dawn was our server and she was so lovely! We really felt taken care of. I've never had a restaurant server look at the type of pant I was wearing and change my table napkin to a black one to match my dark pants. Nor do I remember a restaurant heating up the mug a cappuccino comes in to ensure it stays nice and warm. As for food, we were allowed to have some partake in Summerlicious and some not. I had the Summerlicious menu and picked the Wagyu Tartare, Surf and Turf, and Buttercake. Great portions, delicious food. My favourite was the Buttercake. We also had happy hour drinks, oysters, a prime rib, and caesar salad. If I were to recommend something, get the $78 prime rib which is 14 oz, perfectly seasoned, and comes with glazed carrots and the most amazing mashed potatoes I've ever had.

From the vibes to the food, everything was top notch. Tyler took care of our group and made sure that we got an experience rather than just a meal. Upon being seated we got napkins to match our outfits so the white lint didn't get on our black pants , an incredible guava passion fruit cocktail to try and a meat presentation to make sure we all order like pros from here on out. The food was incredible- one our tastebuds won't forget! Our group of 5 started with fresh sushi and sashimi, table side Caesar salad and the softest brioche served with sun-dried tomato butter that was perfect in every way. Main course: Australian wagyu ribeye that we didn't even have to chew plus a strip loin and beef Wellington (which was maybe the only thing I don't need to order again, but still delicious). All the sides were amazing and finally sticky toffee pudding and butter cake to put us in a complete food coma. Wouldn't change a thing about this meal. We cannot thank you enough Tyler (and Toronto!!)!

I've been wanting to try LOUIX LOUIS for the longest time, so when the opportunity came up to visit…read moreduring Summerlicious, I knew I had to finally check it out. Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!

Wagyu beef burger cooked perfectly, it's a large portion for a petite girl like me, 9oz, fries is on salty side. Both desserts are good, not too sweet or filling. It's definitely on the pricy end for a lunch, good to come here for celebrations, not an everyday thing.
