| - 67 Percent - I fully fathom why they called this new incarnation of Earls, Earls 67. It's because you pay full price, but you only get 67 percent of a full portion! I've grown accustomed to, from dining at Earls across this great nation of ours and also the few locations in the US, the less than average sized entrees, but above average prices you traditionally receive out of their kitchen. Diners, however, often overlook the moderate portion size in lieu of the consistency in quality, service, presentability of staff, ambiance, and decor/aesthetics of all Earls. The staff will tell you that the moniker of Earls 67 is in reference to the 67th location of Earls. Au contraire mes amis, the truth is, to recoup the three years of planning and near seven months of renovations, the Fuller family who created this iconic chain, decided to only provide you with the aforementioned fragment of appetizer or main course that you come to expect from any other Earls location. The food is tasty, well presented, but exceptionally pricey when you consider the meagre offering you receive at your table. The room is very well adorned and stylish, so your eyes may be feasting but your stomach is left wanting. The G-Wiz had the avocado and chickpea dip appy and it literally came in what appeared to be the size of a small complimentary plastic ashtray you receive in Vegas when playing the nickel slots. When both the Princess Bride and Mama Bru's salads arrived, the Kale & Pear and Sante Fe 67 respectively, we all were incredulous at their sizes; PB counted SIX pieces of vegetables in her mix of greens. The Iowa Beast had the Bigger Better Burger and it was a touch smaller than accustomed to. Out of all the dishes, my Duck Breast was an acceptable size but the accompanying kale, corn, chorizo, and carrot purée resembled the paltry bits and unpopped kernels in the bottom of your popcorn bag after watching a two hour feature film. The apple gastrique (which I asked for a little extra when ordering), though, for the duck was wonderful in consistency and its flavour. The tastes soothed our palates; the lack of abundance of volume of food, however, left us searching. I recall Earls having giant parrots as a theme in their initial stores, if only the servings had borrowed some size from their former aviary mascots to celebrate the 67 iterations of Earls.
