Earl's Restaurant - Winnipeg

Pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant on the Sunday evening of our visit in Winnipeg on Main Street. We sat in the bar section and had an excellent waitress who offered suggestions for our meal. Our meal wasn't long coming and everything ordered including the Chardonnay was good. Service was excellent so on Monday night, we came back and this time sat in the dining area. Nice and clean and excellent menu to choose from again. Again, the service and food was good. We were offered the cocktail of the evening for $5.00 which was very good. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Winnipeg.

We stopped in for appies and a glass of wine for happy hour. After being served the wrong wine and over cooked ribs, we were even more astounded at the prices. Not impressed.

Yesterday, we all had a great experience. Everything went so well, even better than what I expected. The 10 Oz streak was well done prepared, and the Cajun chicken was a perfect meal, especially when substituted the coleslaw with pasta. We ended with the in-house dessert as recommended by the waiter: Sticky Toffee Chocolate Pudding. It was so rich and delicious. The kids also liked the thin crust Margarita pizza. Thanks for everyone who made sure that we get out from there with a smile. Thanks to Joel the GM for the branch who was serving by himself. You all guys made my day : : .

We ate at the restaurant after a full day of Christmas Shopping, finishing at St. Vital mall. It was close and we were famished. A treat to the eyes with tall ceilings, beautiful wood beams and 'Edison lights ' created a cozy, modern atmosphere. It was busy, but we were seated without a reservation. Our server arrived promptly to take our drink order and when she returned with our beverages we ordered. Our wait was minimal. We all ordered the ribs which was served with coleslaw and a warm potato salad. Our dinner was delectable! I regretted ordering a half rack and would order the full if I visit again. Good value for our dollar considering we don 't go out to dinner frequently. Complaints from our party was there was no bread served before our meal as well as each entree has sides matched to the dish vs. picking from a list. I would love to visit again should we visit a city with this chain.

The staff at this restaurant is fantastic - very friendly and the service was excellent. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, it was a nice place to dine.
