Review Earl - Christchurch

Petrina Janessa

Went with a group for the pasta and wine night. It was a busy night and we were seated in a booth. I have to be honest, the food was good but as all fine dining goes, the portion was small. If you are going for the pasta and wine night, please be advised that portion is relatively smaller than normal pasta portions with an addition of $6 on top for added protein I.e clams, meat etc It's $2 per slice of forcacia bread which was delicious but j wish it was served warm. It was also I think $6-7 for a portion of squid which was so delicious. And approx $12 for the salad. Overall, really nice place to go with a charming waiter and the most delicious Sav blanc I have had ($14 for an extra glass).

We endorse the chef for presenting us good quality of cheese with crackers as our treat and the fresh salmons with tasty sauce as our starters. They were the highlights of our dining experience. Fish was of good quality but it was a little salty in itself and the sauce was tasteless. Otherwise, the portion was very small and the waiting time was relatively longer than we expected.

Incredible service from the get go. We booked through first table and the restaurant was quite empty yet still had a cool ambience and feeling. The waiters/waitresses were friendly and attentive. Moving onto food I don’t have any complaints! Everything had care and precision, although they aren’t big meals it’s very filling. I recommend the pasta and the veggies - for the autumn menu (Also love the harry inspired mock tail 😍)

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch for our office here. The staff were amazing and so was the food. Set plate menu. They made extra room for us and we're very attentive and kind I liked the food and we had a great time!

Hidden away little gem in our city. The staff were really helpful and were extremely knowledgeable on the food that was being served. The interior of the restaurant was very classy and made for a pleasant dining experience. The food was mind blowing. You would take a bite and want to take a moment to just experience it. Would recommend it to anyone!

Tuesday night is pasta night at the earl. Good food and service. Tuesday they do a special where get a pasta dish and a glass of wine for $26. Pasta was great. The edamame falafel was my surprise i have never had it before and thought it was good!

Very tasty food, neutral and clean decoration, and amazing service. The menu is a bit expensive for the size of the portions but not out of reach either. A nice place to go for a date or something! The side of vegetables was amazing 👍

Delicious food and amazing service. Everything there is amazing quality and very moreish. I was stuffed by the end of it. I had the Gnocchi and my partner had the pork belly, both were divine as wel as the Hor d’erves

The food was fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and the restaurant has a magnificent open kitchen. A larger selection of craft beer would be nice but don’t let that put you off the foods made up for it.

Went here on first table last week and was blown away by the service and food. The focaccia and prosciutto while simple as a starter was delicious and great value. The lamb pasta was devine. We will be back. The espresso martini’s were great value as well

Abbey Johnson

Great flavors. The cavatelli with the smoked ricotta was gorgeous. If that was the last thing I ever ate that would be alright with me. The complimentary focaccia was also so wonderful and the butter served with it had a smoky flavor that really sent it over the edge.

Dion

Enjoyed the food and service. Pasta was probably a tad expensive for what it was - but I particularly enjoyed the steak and the dessert. Enjoyed the focaccia too - definitely keen to try again.

Beautiful atmosphere and good quality food, little on the salty side but good

Maki Norman

We had great time overall, the services were great but I thought the food was a little bit salty. I started with the seasonal (coconut) margarita. Yum. We shared the calamari to start with and I had a duck confit for my main. Both were nice but a little bit salty. The wine was good. For dessert, I ordered tiramisu, it was light and yummy. For me it was the right dessert.

All round good evening, good local produce and well prepared and presented. The pasta dishes and the Buffalo mozzarella were the best and the service was okay. Could’ve scored an extra point by not using cracked/chipped plates.

One of the best dinners we had. Food was amazing. We got the chefs choice and we were not disappointed. We tried so many things that I forgot the names. Service was outstanding. We will be back again soon.(We back for dinner and it was delicious again 😋. It was super busy but this is what great restaurant should be)
