    Great Saturday night at Earls King West! The seafood platter was excellent, and the patio was the perfect spot to enjoy the atmosphere and some classic King West people-watching. A special thanks to Sofia, who was incredibly accommodating and professional despite how busy it was. She managed to get us a last-minute patio table and made the whole experience even better. Fantastic service, great food, and an awesome vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

    Ire was a great dinner experience. Good and service were excellent. And as we were celebrating our anniversary, they brought out a candle lit dessert and some sparkling wine as a surprise. Great attention to detail. We will definitely go back again.
