Earth
Toronto (Rosedale)
 
Located a short stroll away on Yonge Street from a subway station, Earth supplies a rather noble concept of providing quality locally sourced food from organic sources, presented through various cuisines.
 
 
Overall, the restaurant was very enjoyable with attentive, average service. I had a tasty homemade pasta (created on premises) with elk meat which you don't see every day. It's a dish that contains ingredients that came from a local source. However, it was expensive for what it was in relations to portion sizes.
 
Over the top gourmet, not quite worth the price in my thoughts.
 
 
Next time you visit a restaurant, ask yourself: Where does my food come from? It's a fascinating subject to check out, with eye popping details. It's great this restaurant carries a "locally grown" mantra.
 
I was slightly puzzled when we were being seated as the waiter immediately informed us that there was a reservation on our table for 8 pm that night. As this was my first experience in what's termed "fine dining", I didn't know if it was a negative trait, but a three hour window of dining was more than sufficient for a late lunch.
 
By contrast to my more explorative carnivorous counterpart, I chose to try out their take on the safe, predictable veggie burger. Made with cracked wheat and served with two different kinds of ketchup, it was a lovely unexpected melding of flavours.
 
It's most definitely a place to splurge, and the check was harder to swallow than usual. The waiting staff should be commended for a cordial, almost jocular approach to service.
