    We had another enjoyable meal at the Earle. There are good options for meat eaters and vegetarians. Our only complaint tonight would be that the restaurant was drafty with a cold breeze.

    I ordered: Sea Scallops (GF) / Sautéed with mushrooms and garlic, pan sauced with sherry and cream. Served with a ruby wild rice blend / $43.95 I received the scallops with some steamed vegetables and potatoes. If they didn’t have the rice they should have told me so could have made another choice I’ve been to The Earle many times. This was disappointing. On the other hand, the service was great - attentive but not interruptive.

    We went in for our anniversary and although we dealt with a very long wait time, we understood it was a very busy night and both our server and the manager were very kind and apologetic. The food was excellent and the ambience with the live band was lovely.

    Really great atmosphere and dinner. The Jazz trio was a treat. Food is really tasty. Service is friendly but the meal is slow paced. All good.

    The white fish was soupy, potatoes bland, and the Mezzogiorno pasta was felt like it was just thrown together. The ingredients didn’t go well together. Bread was good.
