A Fantastic Meal
Free plug for earls restaurant follows ... you've been warned.
This week I returned to a restaurant that while it may seem to be unabashedly trendy, always does its best to serve up quality food at a price that is not over the top. It had been some time since the last time I had eaten there and I was not at all disappointed with the food this time.
What we ate:
Starters
- Chili Chicken tossed in a fiery sweet chili sauce with crispy wontons
- Togarashi Shrimp and Wontons gulf white shrimp tossed with togarashi spice and a refreshing mango and jicima salad, crispy wonton chips
Main Course
- Grilled Chicken and Baked Brie on Ciabatta grilled chicken breast, melted brie, roasted apples and spinach with sweet fig jam and garlic mayonnaise on toasted ciabatta - with a side of fries
- Santa Fe Chicken Salad spicy cajun chicken, avocado, feta cheese, sweet dates, corn and black beans in a peanut lime vinaigrette with mixed lettuces and crispy tortillas
Drinks
albino rhino and the winter pudding ale were the beers of choice
We were both so full dessert was not even a consideration, but full in a good way not the unhealthy bloated feeling that I am quite sure factory farmed animals feel on a constant basis.
So, in a nutshell my recommendation for a nice relaxed evening of dining with some good quality food would be to give earls a try, you will be pleasantly rewarded.
