   This is was our second or third time coming to Earl’s Test Kitchen and it never disappoints! Our server, Abby, was phenomenal - so personable, attentive, and sweet. The food and drinks were amazing and we will definitely be coming back again.

   I booked the table under a different name and it was booked under my name, so there was an issue when they arrived at the restaurant.

   Another great meal at Earls Test Kitchen. Tried tequila espresso martini……I was skeptical but it was delicious.

   Reservation process great. Waitress was excellent Entrees took over 45 min to come out. Steaks were over cooked. Warm. Not hot. I had 7 guests in from all over the world. I’d sold them all that this was a great place. But you came up short last night. Again the waitress was amazing. But the kitchen was underperforming I spent way too long there. Wanted to be gone by 10pm. Left at 11:45pm.

   Lack of service throughout entire stay - all food arrived cold after waiting a while. Our group asked for a few items to be heated up or remade, no apology or check up after new food arrived. Overall not a good experience won’t be back to this location.

   Hi Alison, I want to sincerely apologize for the level of service you received—it’s incredibly disappointing to hear that your table was disregarded throughout the evening, with no proper follow-up once the issue was addressed. This is far from the standard we hold ourselves to, and I’m truly sorry that we let you down. I’ll be following up with our team directly to ensure this doesn’t happen again. I’d really appreciate the chance to turn this around for you. I’d love to invite you back for an experience, on us so we can give you the experience you should have received the first time. Please reach out to me directly so I can arrange it. . Thank you again for your honest feedback—it’s feedback like yours that helps us improve. Warmly, Taylor Kirkland taylor.kirkland@earls.ca

    I wish I remembered our servers name but she was the absolute sweetest and even other servers around were so kind too. Food was fantastic and almost my whole table got the test tacos and absolutely loooved them, said it was the best taco they’ve ever had.
