We were a group of 7 who went on a First Table booking (3 paid full price). The meals were delicious but the portion sizes were very small. For example, there were 5 half roast potatoes. Really?! Potatoes are cheap. Why not serve at least half a potato per person?! The other issue was the time. We arrived at 5:30 pm and didn’t get served dessert until 8 pm. There were long waits between courses. Overall, a disappointing dining experience.

Amazing! We had eat like an earl! The amount of food that came out was great. We left feeling super full. Service was amazing, and staff were attentive and friendly. Food was top quality and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back in the near future!

Loved every bite especially the appetisers and sides, ambiance was also much more cozy than the photos I saw online. I don’t always leave reviews but this place exceeded expectations!

We usually come in for pasta nights, but we walk in on full reservations and still manage to offer us a spot for 1.5hr. Amazing food as usual

Absolutely Love the vibe. All the staff are very pleasant and welcoming. They actually look like they are happy to be there. The food is amazing. Finally a chef who knows how to actually cook meat with absolute perfection. Love the variation with the 5 course meal too. Already looking forward to another delicious experience at Earl🙏

Did the chef’s tasting menu which was delicious along with the wine pairing. Great vibe, busy with diners coming and going, lovely setting. Definitely recommend for a nice evening out!

Earl was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was inviting, and each dish was beautifully crafted with amazing flavours. The staff were attentive and made the evening feel extra special. A perfect place for a memorable night out.

I had been looking forward to Earl for a long time, but I was left a little underwhelmed. The menu choice was limited, however this was a known quantity before arrival. However, to find out that 3 dishes had substitutions on Thursday night was disappointing. Surely someone could have planned better and got some Feta cheese in? even if only from a supermarket. I forget the other two as I immediately dismissed them due to not being as advertised on the menu. Frankly, for the price, I was disappointed. The atmosphere was nothing special, everyone was jammed in tight where we were seated, my wife couldn't get in to her chair so we moved to the table about 30cm to give her room, and she is skinny. The person behind her was large, but not massive. I've eaten better for less elsewhere, having wanted it to be good, and to be let down, perhaps by my own expectations, means I won't be going back. For clarity, it was a $200 bill for 2 wines, 1 cocktail, 2 mains, 2 sides, 4 pieces of entree. I would normally expect to be full at that price. I was merely comfortable.

Beautiful environment, great food and service. I ordered the lunch salad with lamb. Delicious! Back for the chicken schnitzel sandwich!

My friend and I, thanks to grab one went for an "eat like an earl" set menu experience There isn't much that I didn't like about the place, the service was great. The food was fresh and delicious. We weren't really explained what food was coming when we were seated, which was ok because I enjoy the element of surprise. Portions were solid, would definitely come back to try full menu.
