Great food and atmosphere.
I've been here a few times since coming to Toronto and I keep wanting to go back for more. My fiancee and I went for dinner last Thursday and it was busy but we got a table right away. It was a little loud but that didn't really bother me. I love the atmosphere, it has a warm casual feel.
The food was great, I had the grilled fish tacos and they were some of the best I've had in a long time. My fiance had the salmon which was also very good.
Service was great, I love how pretty much all the servers are dressed up and very attractive... the good service is a bonus.
Also pitchers of beer are very reasonable at only $16. I ordered one for myself since it didn't really make sense to order by the pint... i can't stop at just one beer, come on.
I can't wait to go back when it's a little warmer and sit in the outside patio.
Earl's is definitely worth a try.
