As a native of Vancouver I am well-versed in Earls (where there are tonnes of them). Typically boasting some of the prettiest servers and decent food, they are continually packed. I expected the same from the King Street address, but was happily surprised with the food in addition to the "scenery". The fish & chips which I ordered was extremely good. I will definitely return more often considering the fact that they have a decent patio and good food.
On the downside, the service when we went there was far below average. The girls were standing in a group talking rather than serving the people on the patio. I mean a good 6 or 7 or them standing there for a good 4 or 5 minutes at a time... pretty ridiculous if you ask me... lunch service is better than weekend service.
