   We thought we would try Earl’s as it has been awhile and wanted a change from Park Distillery. A cobb salad was ordered with chicken, and double avocado to replace the egg, came with no chicken and regular amount of avocado. Waitress offered to bring a new salad but could have just brought the missing items so she didn’t end up sitting there while we ate. I had the bacon cheeseburger with no bun and greens with dressing on the side. Came with the dressing on it and for a $4 up charge from fries I would expect more than a small bowl of lettuce and a few croutons. $30.75 is expensive for what I got. The salad was taken off the bill but when you go out you would prefer to have what you ordered rather than a free meal of what you didn’t order. I hope the tourists that we told it was a good place to eat enjoyed their meal.

   Earls is always a choice for our family. You are always going to get decent food. Thought it took a longer than expected time to receive our food spec with 2 younger kids. Prices are higher than expected.

   Wanted a bit of a more romantic experience on Valentine’s Day but the food and drinks made up for the loud noisy environment!!

   Thank you Jaydon for taking the time to leave us a 3 star review. We are glad to hear that the food and drinks made up for the noisy environment. I apologize that we could not control the noise volume, as we were fully booked for Valentines Day, these things do happen. I hope that you will join us again in the future.

   Our server jack was awesome, absolute gentleman. The bartender was on point, our white peach bourbon sours were one of the best sours I’ve ever had. The kitchen was amazing as well, my steak was seared, so crispy, and rare as requested. Tortellini was so flavourful, and the pizza was wood fired to perfection. Great job everyone!

   Really disappointed with our experience. I’ve been to many Earl’s restaurants, and this was not consistent with how they should be. The server was inattentive and did not really care, and even when asked for specific things such as side plates, he did not bring them. The food was missing the standard garnishes, and things like that showing no attention to detail or caring about what is going out the kitchen door. For being in attentive, the server made sure to articulate and point out how I could tip him, using the point of sale device, which I felt was offside given the experience.

    Greeted friendly and taken to table. Order taken promptly. Appetizer came out hot and delicious. Mains came out - I had chicken Caesar salad - it was the saddest salad I’ve ever seen. Romaine wilted, bowl half full, glob of dressing in the middle, and chicken dry. For $26 I expect it to be significantly better. 10 Mins after we got our mains the server finally came over and asked how it was. I indicated the salad is horrible, and was asked “would you like us to remake it”. Didn’t ask what was wrong. When I went to say what was wrong I was cut off and asked again “do You want us to remake it”. Second salad came out - bowl was full, chicken hot and not dry and dressing well dispersed. My low review is how it was handled.
