I have been here twice before - Dinner and New Years Eve 2011. This location has some sort of jinx. My Place, owned by former ACC chef Brad Long. didn't last very long. Before that, it sat empty for years after The Fan sports bar had been here for many years. I had been to My Place twice before and it didn't have any identity. earth does have an identity.
Unfortunately this time around, with the construction of the condo next door Bloor between Jane and Kingsway is a mess. The public parking is down the hill at the next block behind the restaurant. It would deter anyone from visiting here. Construction usually kills businesses if they don't have a contingency plan. I would hope they do stay around.
So after not wanting to wait at Good Fork, we decided to take a walk to earth. There were plenty of choices on the brunch menu. We decided to order the Pork Benny and the Swine & Dine (pork six ways). There is a lot of meat on the latter dish. I'm sure they could have charged at least $20 for this dish. But it was only $14 for both. We both left full.
The decor is really nice and would be a shame if they left the neighbourhood. It's definitely a place I would suggest to visit. It's close to the Jane subway Station. If you plan to drive, park at the lot just east of the station, if you aren't the lucky ones to find on-street parking. It is only a few 2 1/2 blocks from here.
The clientele is meant to be a little more upscale, especially since their flagship restaurant is in Rosedale. The opportunity is there to change the menu slightly to cater to many patrons. Who knows what will happen in the near future.
