| - I had the top sirloin med rare, and butterflied shrimp. Partner had the salmon. No drinks. $64 not including tip. Total bill $80. Nothing to write home about. Standard "Keg type" fare. Steak was cooked correctly, server was cheerful and polite etc. Two exceptions:
1) When I asked what the special was, I was informed that the 'featured item' was... (I cant even remember). Upon further inquiry it was determined that "featured item" is a euphemism for "Listen buddy, if you want a deal, go to the Keg, we don't do 'specials' here...now you gonna order, or what?" (What they actually said was "The featured item is the same item at the same price as what is on the menu".)
Wait...whut?
2) My partner observed that her meal was heavily salted.
Look guys, we can always add more salt. It is the separation that is difficult OK? FML!
I honestly don't know why I would return here or recommend this restaurant. Prices are comparable with other high-end restaurants, but the restaurant is very noisy, a number of tables are in the middle of the floor in a high server traffic area, and the food is meh. For my restaurant dollar in Calgary, I can name several superior options. (Earls is NOT one of them).
This establishment does not respect their clients enough to offer a daily special, and notches up the insult by suggesting a regularly priced menu item is just like a special.
Read more about both these restaurants ("Joeys" and "Earls") on ratemyemployer.ca. You will get the drift.
