The people: a mother and her son, tired from the day's (short) hike in the snow. The atmosphere at the street: hushed voices, some bit of hustle and bustle as strangers rush to fill some void. Hunger. There were more steps from the sidewalk up to the restaurant, a seeming offense to legs tired from pushing against the snow earlier in the day. The local game and seafood, both in varying forms, were the tempters. We got our table, and we sat down. Drinks first - CRFT Blonde Ale was a winner - and a lovely herbed bread and butter started us off. Menu choice this night focused on the game dishes. Some calamari to start too, though our hunger made a short life of that starter at our table. And then we got our mains. Well-prepared, unpretentious, flavorful, and - for us - just the right proportions. My bison medallions - ordered rare - were prepared just perfectly, with (as I told my son) the only instance of spaghetti squash that I think I have ever liked (alongside other well-prepared veggies as well). His mixed game burger didn't stand a chance. He even ate the mushrooms, a sure HT. Our experience here was so wonderful, centered, warm - It helped that our server was equally so, and you can see how much she connects with the customers as one would with guests in a home. We liked our meal so much we came back again the next night for more. And the second night did not lose any luster off the first. Next time we are in the area, we are probably going to go nowhere but here. While our travels took us far, we felt right at home here.

We visited Earls Kitchen + Bar for a quick, late night dinner. It was lively and quite busy when we…read morewent, but had a nice, warm ambiance. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating along with some outdoor patio seating. We checked in with the host and got seated soon after. It was quite loud inside, but not too bad. The dinner menu is quite extensive with multiple options for appetizers and entrees. The bonus was the great happy hour menu, which had several options. Unfortunately, they were out of the tacos and charred corn + avocado dip. But we were able to order crispy chicken skewers, pizza, petite steak frites, and chips and salsa. The portions were larger than expected, and when ordering, I initially thought that we would need more food, but then changed my mind later. Customer service was excellent and wonderful. Our server, Laura was friendly and welcoming. She answered a few questions, checked in regularly, and had suggested a great mocktail, which was nice and refreshing. We enjoyed our dining experience and I'd recommend checking out Earls for a nice meal or a few cocktails.

Service was…read moreattentive, but they were very busy and had only few servers, so they did not have much time to interact with the costumers. They were working non stop!! So much that we felt bad about asking for like parmesan cheese for the pasta. Now the rigatoni was Al dente, but the braised beef sauce was more like a gravy; the risotto was creamy but lacked flavor. The shrimp was cooked apart and placed on top of the risotto. The lamb had a sauce , but again, it lacked flavor. The polenta accompanying the lamb shank was almost soupy. Overall, it was not a good dinner.

We ordered the mushroom toast, the pork belly, and the dan dan noodles. The noodles were far and away the best item, absolutely delicious! The pork belly was quite good as well. The mushroom toast wasn't bad, but we wished the mushrooms were a bit more pureed, the chunks of mushroom were a bit difficult to eat. Overall hugely recommended!

The food was okay but I would like to complain about one particular server. Unfortunately, I was…read morenot able to get the name but she is the tall blond female with a very very thick European accent. When it came to paying the bill, it was not appreciated that she literally hovered around you while you paid and when the tip was not into her liking, her demeanour changed. She was condescending and irritable. It was not appreciated that she made it appear that we owed her for serving us and it was not necessary to state "You're in Canada, you should know better" We are seasoned travellers and have travelled far beyond Canada and although tipping is encouraged, it should not be shoved into the faces especially on tourists. Her "attentiveness" and "smiles" were only after a huge tip. Immediately her whole persona changed when it was not to her liking. The restaurant should properly train and maybe hire "True" Canadians after all in her own words "You're in Canada, you should know better"

I got their rack of lamb with was so tender really seasoned well. It came with so many sides, pita bread, rice, Greek salad, and potatoes.

The salmon Benedict's was on wheat bread so the portion was a bit small but the whole combination was very unique. I had the Hollandise sauce on the side and I didn't need it at all. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The ambiance was nicer than expected given the name, it was comfortable and modern but lacked any charm. The drinks were a highlight, we all enjoyed our cocktails and mocktails. The server was also very attentive and communicative. The only item we really enjoyed was the goat cheese poutine. That was delicious. The entrees were boring. Two of my party got the blackened salmon special with rice, vegetables and curry aioli. They expected a flavorful experience but got white rice, steamed vegetables and barely seasoned salmon with a small side of flavored mayo. It was cooked well but just not very tasty. I got one of the staff favorites, the bison meatloaf, which was also pretty bland. The meals were served like a convention center banquet meal instead of saucy, flavorful and fun.
