We finally went to Ernest's for supper on a Friday night for the 1st time for our 35th anniversary. We were greeted immediately by a young lady who took our jackets. Ambiance was good. Our server, Dominic, was attentive, informative, and personable. We had reserved 2 Table d hote meals. We chose to order a bottle of wine since the 3 glass of wine pairing was $17 each for only 3 oz per glass. That was disappointing. The little extras and the 3 different types of butter with the bread were fabulous. The Pineapple Sorbet was to die for. The Shrimp Civiche was a little confusing as it did not come with chips to eat it with but was on a large piece of lettuce. so eat it as a wrap or with a fork?...
Our group of 3 couples went to this restaurant on a Friday night specifically to experience the fixed 4-course menu prepared by the NAIT Culinary students. We arrived at 6:30 p.m and were disappointed to hear that all of the fixed 4-course meals were gone (there was a large private group in an adjoining meeting room that we suspected had snaffled all the meals.) We were told that we would need to order from the a la carte menu. We were disappointed because that was not our plan.We politely asked our pleasant young server to check with the kitchen staff to confirm that all of the special meals were gone and to at least bring us a copy of the special meal menu card so we could see what we miss...
Ernest's decor is described as understated elegance with tasteful compliments of cheery wood and brass highlights. A beautiful rock feature wall, muted lighting and attention to detail provide the room with a distinct corporate ambiance. Critical acclaim and numerous accolades identify the haute cuisine prepared by second year Culinary Arts diploma students as outstanding.They have a 'main menu' but the real fun is ordering the current Table d'hote menu. Where the students put together a full experience from apps to dessert, even offer their wine pairing.One caution - when booking a reservation - you may not know the Table d'Hote Menu - but risk it and tell them how many of you will be order...

It's wonderful to see the Friday lunch buffet back after Covid. We recently visited and had a fabulous experience. There were so many different dishes available that it was impossible to try them all. The students had clearly put in hours of preparation and were rightly proud of their creations. The service was also exceptional, with all staff members working hard to ensure a great dining experience. We have been coming to Friday's buffet for a few years now and, just like our recent visit, have never been disappointed. All of this for $25 including tip and tax. Highly recommend making a reservation in advance.
I went for my second visit last week. My first visit was years ago, but I never forgot what a great experience it was and this visit did not disappoint. It was the perfect dining out experience from the moment they took our coats to when we left. The food was exceptional and the service was prompt and friendly. We went for the Friday student buffet and the people I brought with me were impressed. The tables were nicely spaced out and the restaurant was not noisy. The price was $32.50, including tax and tip, which was convenient. It was a great meal with no hassle about tipping at the end.
We had a wonderful evening that exceeded our expectations in every way. Is a quiet evening for them, so 3 new hospitality students fed to serve us, looked around so well and tried so hard. The food was excellent with unexpected...Extras like freshly baked olive oil bread and raspberry sorbet. The pace of the courses was too important for a relaxed evening and a beautiful ambience with soft, inconspicuous music. Thanks, Ernest's and your students for an unforgettable dinner.
one of our best meals at Ernest. I started with a caesar that was much better than other businesses. we were served a garnel and scallop appetizer on a toast bit dry toast. I would like to know how they prepared it. the brot offer was a beautiful Brioche book with acidic cream and cut-off. I enjoyed the black bubble appetizer as well as the sous vide rack of lamb. it was perfectly cooked. the chocolate desserts were beautifully made. the food was kreatiw.
