| - There was a lot of hype behind Earl's, coming from Vancouver. I have seen the restaurant operate on Chef Michael Smith's "Chef Abroad". I have to say, I was quite impressed with the way they ran their business on the show (I did not know they went to such great lengths to purchase the best steaks).
Service: Friendly and full of smiles. Everybody that was working there seemed to be in a great mood, which was a big plus. The down side was that they did not describe the food items very well. I had a few questions and it was not answer very well--as if they have not tried the dishes.
Ambiance: It is modern. Maybe somewhat like Baton Rouge, but more sheek. They seem to be accommodating to larger groups, as they were willing to arrange tables as needed.
Food: There were highs, but some lows. Naturally after watching the TV show, I had a steak, which was cooked very well (medium). Unfortunately the steak lacked seasoning and I found myself wishing for more flavour. The mash potatoes were pretty average, but the candied beets and carrots were quite delicious.
Bill for two people, including two entrees, two drinks and gratuity came to $70.00. Not a cheap dinner out, but not wallet busting either.
