In Short
The Earle is a triple threat, offering a country French and country Italian restaurant, a wine bar and a jazz room that has attracted a loyal following to its dimly lit cellar quarters for years. The changing menu relies on fresh, seasonal ingredients. It usually includes a selection of lamb chops, fruit-sauced duck breast, beef tenderloin and a pasta and fish dish. The enticing dessert selection includes homemade ice cream that shouldn't be missed.
