Earl’s Restaurant- Penticton

Okay, today I got my “happiness” fix. We went to Earl’s Restaurant today to finally see our friend, Daiya, and have a bite to eat.

We know Daiya from Salty’s Restaurant where she trains, supervises and generally keeps everything in tip-top shape. She does the same for Earl’s and is one busy lady.

We had the privilege of being served by an enchanting young gentleman, Michael, who was trained by Daiya when he first started and, believe this or not, you can always tell.

He was pleasant, at times funny and throughout the time we were there, enchanting in his manner. Don ordered the new dish, Crispy Thai Prawns and although I tried to find out what it entailed, they did not post this so we could see. It was, to say the least, terrific. I had to taste one and thought it was great.

I ordered the Chicken Brie and Fig on fresh Ciabatta bread. This has roasted apples, spinach and a garlic aioli. This is to die for and, with a glass of Pinot Gris to go with it, it could not be beat.

I was glad to hear that Daiya will be working between the two restaurants and I hope if you are in the area, you visit and taste what they have to offer. You won’t be disappointed.

Earl’s, Penticton, B.C.

While shopping and appointment-keeping, we dropped in to Earl’s for a light lunch. Since we are both on a diet before Europe, we decided, before entering, we would split the entree.

So, Don ordered the Clam Chowder….he thought it was okay but should have been a little thicker to qualify as a chowder.

I ordered the carrot ginger thai soup…whoa! someone sure spiced it today more than usual. I couldn’t possibly eat it, even with triple the amount of yogurt (to cool it down).

What we did order and fall in love with was the Chicken burger with sliced apples, fig jam and melted brie cheese. We split this so didn’t feel too guilty. It came with fries and we did sample just a few. Honest…

When the chicken burger came it had “twisted” bamboo picks. I kept looking at them and finally asked our delightful server, Becca, where we could purchase these. Would they tell us? She came back and of course, in true Earl’s fashion, came through with the “info”.

Earl’s always comes through.  Sometimes  a little hiccup, but with the beautiful servers and great attitude, we will always return.

One thing to note. Earl’s always makes you feel like  you are special. When you split an order, they divide it up on two plates, equally presented, and serve it to you. They never quibble about the extra plate nor do they just plunk the plate in the middle and let you divvy it up. That is a classy policy.
