| - So once again l found myself at Earth Bloor West, the first time I went with a bunch of mommy friends for some drinks and appetizers on the rooftop patio. The first impression was so, so and I got home and told my husband that we will have to go and check it out for dinner and see what this place was all about.
Well that time came around and thank goodness for a Wag jag deal we found online and we headed out for the 4 course Fall Harvest Menu. We got to the restaurant and we were seated across from the bar (thank goodness it wasn't busy otherwise I would have been pissed off)
Our waitress came right away and asked us if we wanted something to drink, which I found to be very hands on and eager but alas it's most likely part of the training. We ordered a big bottle of San Pellegrino while we scrolled through the menu to see what we were going to eat.
There were 2 soup options, 2 salad options, 4 main meal options and 2 dessert options. We placed our orders at once so we could get our meal on a roll. I opted for the french onion soup with an Earth Restaurant twist as the waitress stated and my husband went for the Italian Wedding soup that also had an Earth twist......I guess everything has an Earth Restaurant twist....LOL
Both soups were delicious and the portions were huge for soup, and it was all good, my husband said he wouldn't order his soup again. It tasted a bit more like broth than Italian Wedding soup. Our salads came, I had the beet salad and my husband had the house salad....and once again portions were huge and delicious. I really loved the crispy & baked kale that was on top of my beet salad. Everything tasted fresh and made to order for sure.....Woot, Woot.
Onto the main meal....well my first option was the cornish hen and to my huge surprise and disappointment the waitress advised us that they ran out of it............Whaaaat it was only 7:00pm that we were having dinner how could they run out of stuff already......Really, Really....I didn't believe that for a second....they must have been saving it for the customers that were paying full price....because that cornish hen can be expensive you know....LOL
Anyways we both ordered the Korean Braised Beef ribs.....well what do you know, the ribs were boneless and I have to say the meat was very succulent and tender, it literally melted in your mouth.
Whatever method of cooking they use for those ribs they should carry on using it. The ribs came with squash and their version of wild rice and Kimchee....well, well it was definitely delicious and the Kimchee was spicy and delicious just like the one you would find in a Korean Restaurant however better.
And on to the dessert...............well that's where we were both disappointed it was some sort of a squash cake that was trying too hard to compete with the carrot cake...Took one bite and had to push it away.....Yuck, Yuck No thanks.....
Overall everything was great, would we go back there without some sort of a Wag Jag, Groupon or voucher................uh let me think about that for a second and the answer would be NO. It's great food and all however it's just waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too expensive for what the restaurant is promoting.
Shouldn't local food be cheaper considering that it hasn't traveled the distance.....well that's my two sense on that.
