The menu at Earls focuses on freshly made, seasonally inspired, casually elegant West Coast cuisine with International flavour. In addition to wide variety of dishes Earls has a drink menu to match.
This place is gorgeous! One of the nicest Earl's I have ever seen. The prices can get out of hand if you have more than one drink it is going to be expensive so be prepared.
I had the spinach and feta dip which is, in my opinion, the best thing on the menu. TRY IT. I could just eat it with a spoon. The bread is house-made which made me very happy.
Our service was a little slow, luckily I was there with a friend so we were chatting away and we were comfortable waiting but we were left with just drinks and no food orders taken for a solid 20 minutes.
Overall, I'd go back for the ambience and spinach dip but I will remember never to go there on a time limit.
Good food and friendly servers! Hostesses were friendly and efficient, our server was really nice too. I love the dynamite roll and had the curry chicken that was yummy too. ! Great location too , close to robson, good place to stop in after a long day of shopping. I Will be back for sure!
I am not a huge Earl's fan - but went there because a friend insisted. Had the Albacore Tuna app (very poor - avoid at all costs) and the Naples Pizza (so-so) - so skip it; my friend had the Kuang Pao Prawns - he wasn't impressed. So, on the whole, food below average. On the other hand service was friendly and efficient (yes, I know the girls are hot - but it would be nice if the food tasted a whole lot better).
Our waitress was charming and quite efficient - so can't really blame her for the poor lunch. Think I'll just avoid the place altogether.
Came here with my girlfriend and the food was amazing ONLY because I used to work at an Earls before.
I know never to order pasta - those are gross.
Instead, we got the Italian pizza, hold pizza sauce, sub bbq sauce instead, extra basil. My goodness, this kind of pizza is almost to die for.
And we also got the Bronx burger, with half/half fries and salad. The thing was just so good.
Food was amazing, however service was mediocre. Oh and to add, the only reason why we came was because we had a gift card. Would I come here regularly? No.
I really enjoyed the night with my lady companion, this is a great restaurant to bring a date. The flavours that were put together wre fab. The price was a bit high, but that could be my fault for wanting only the best and impressing the young lady but I do have to say that everything tasted really great. This is not for taking a wife, but if your impressing women then do not hesitate. The blondie waitress herself was so confident in her own gorgeousness. I am sure my date noticed and went into competitive style.
For the appetizer we got the dip. The flatbread was hot and complimented the dip. Entrees were the oscar steak and the seafood mix pasta. The steak was great once we got into the middle (yes we shared), the edges were overcooked. But the flavours, the steak, veggies and radishes, were really great. The fried potatos were great too. I got the pasta too and it was wonderful but I couldn't finish it because it was so much. I left about 1/4th on my plate. For dessert we got the choco cake and it was delish!!! Probably my favourite part of the meal along with the wine the beautiful skirt suggested. The freshness made the dish, just wish it was not so expensive because the waitress great look and service made me tip extra!
even though they are getting really expensive I love this place. I Love this place! I had been before and had a great time, so i brought a date for dinner and dessert last Saturday....what a blast! Earl's' definitely gained a more regular customers that night! The girl was very happy and came over afterwards, the waitresses were clearly foreign beauts imported from somewhere pretty and I loved their steak and wine. Everyone should attempt the meat platters, and anything off the martini list (love the Aretha). They do in fact have some policies everyone may not agree with, but ive never had any trouble paying for the great service and eye candy entertainment!!
Actually, I'd like to give the food a 2.5, the service 3.5, and the ambiance a 3.5, but since we can't award half points, this will have to do.
I ordered the grilled chicken with brie and sauted apple sandwich, with a green salad. The food was good and nicely presented, and the servers were friendly and attentive.
The room is very nice indeed, and it would seem this, and the location are the key elements in this restaurant's success.
It's a bit noisy in there for my liking, but I suppose there's no way around it given the design of the space.... the sound carries around that cavernous open space.
The boyfriend pursuaded me to join him and his friends at this Earl's location. Here's a tip...make reservations! Although the wait wasn't that long (for a table of 8, we probably waited about 45-50 minutes).
The ambiance, I cannot lie, is very desirable. From the smooth auto doors, to the nice looking bar, big screen mounted tvs, to the awesome VIP area. The music is pumped pretty loud, so unless you want to scream out your conversations, I would suggest requesting a table in the back area by the kitchen.
I've been to an Earl's just a week before and I noticed that the prices at this location were about $2 more than the other ones. but looking around, you know why you're paying extra. Prime location...
The service was ok. Our server at least tried to look like he wanted to be helpful. Would I come back? Based on parking availability alone, I don't think so.
I'd be perfectly happy dining at the other locations.
I was finishing work, super hungry and knew that Earls was open late. I was greeted by the hostess, who either didn't understand english very well and adding to loud music made the conversation awkward.
I sat in the bar, watching the TV screens and listening to music, when my server who was nice & friendly, throughout my meal.
I could eat several cows, that kind of hungry, and had ordered 7 oz sirlion steak & it came with veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. I also asked for garlic bread, which wasn't all that good, it was soaked in too much garlic. My steak arrived at the same time with my garlic bread, and thought the steak had lots of flavour and tasted great. Loved the mashed potatoes, but the green beans, lack flavour and was on the soggy side. I think the chef must have been tired, since my bread and veggie lack appeal.
My late night meal hit the spot, my server was prompt & friendly, and I left full.
I'm positive I'll be back again.
The bar is an excellent area to catch the Canucks. Lots of tables and bar stools for a restaurant. Also there are many TV's. The projection TV is a bit fuzzy during the day. The service was excellent as they didn't rush you nor did they constantly come by to get the beer count high. Good appies to much on as standard at the Earl's.
Shockingly Top Notch. If all the Earls are this good then we have truly been missing out on a fantastic chain. The food was excellent. the fish for dinner is fabuolus. If you don't already know the difference between trendy and wanna-be you soon will. I was taking someone for dinner so couldn't do too much, but if you wanna look at some pretty girls this place wont disappoint. If you like order one of the plates here. Wow. The girls were truly gorgeous. You know you wan 'em. I know I do. So I will go back.
Earls can’t seem to decide on an atmosphere. They seem to try and keep up with a trend more than a menu. The service is quick and friendly, but the Paramount feel is more like a night club than a casual restaurant. I would like to see them stick to the fresh kitchen dining they started with vs. the coolest room on the block.
I've been to this location once several months ago, and it will stay that way b/c my experience was that bad.
Was there w/ a large party, service was horrible. Amazingly SLOW and completely inattentive. Server forgot to bring almost everything we asked for, orders were missed, and he never came to follow up on our meal. To add insult to injury, a mandatory 18% tip was added to our bill! For what?!? We didn't get any good service! Management also doesn't care b/c our complaints went unanswered.
Food was alright. Some dishes were good... others were really bad (not cooked to order). Drinks were decent. The food also took an extremely long time to arrive (over 40 min).
Great ambiance to this joint. Nice high ceilings, very trendy decor. But music was too loud.
Go for the ambiance if that's what you care about, but be prepared for service that's lacking in every aspect.
I have been to every Earl's in Vancouver and then some. The Paramount has the best ambiance with its design and crowd. The guys always pick this joint and I'm starting not to mind because the baseball cut steak, the thick pork chop, the wings, the pasta and the edamame are all pretty good. For a casual and quick meal before a movie, you can count on Earl's for consistency. The margaritas and bellinis are great and they have an exceptional wine list for this calibre of restaurant - fairly priced too.
Had an early evening meal with our 2 boys aged 5 and 7 - we were given a great table, in a quiet spot, but next the window with a view of the street. The server was helpful, and acccommodating of our two young boys. The cocktail of the day was fresh and beautifully mixed, and the food was fresh and tasty - good sized portions. They helpfully split an adult small plate between our two boys - and served this quickly. Whilst not geared up for children (no kids menu, coloring pens etc), I found the service and food selection better than most 'family' styled restaurant - parents still want decent food, in a nice atmosphere, and I would recommend this restaurant.
My fiancée and I spontaneously turned into Earls today after a lazy Downtown Sunday. I had a hankering for a steak and as we're regulars at another Earls outlet, I was curious as to how good this location would be.
We were seated with the usual Sunday recital of 'How was your weekend?' - which we both hate as it is none of the business of a stranger who'll have forgotten us by the next day - near a column of televisions, which was great for me as the boxing was on.
With my beer I ordered the 10-ounce steak and with hers the fiancée plumped for the half order of chicken and baby back ribs. I can proclaim from vast experience that both of those are sure winners at Earls. My steaks have always been cooked to perfection and the chicken and ribs dish is supremely succulent. The chef today was true to form, providing us both with an excellent meal. I was close to rating it with five stars.
The good lady's instructions were to have her potato salad without corn, and asparagus instead of coleslaw. The result was that a waiter moved to put a squash soup on our table and my fiancée's plate was missing the vegetables. I'll leave that one to the reader to figure out. The soup was a mystery to everybody. We then asked for a finger bowl and we got a coffee cup of cold tap water with a slice of lemon in it. Once I'd finished my meal, my plate was on the table for a good five minutes before it was removed, despite there being three and often four waitresses gossiping to one another about some typical Vancouver girl nonsense not three yards behind me.
The management clearly isn't as stringent as it is at Earls on Top (Robson Street), where the service is very strong and very attentive.
The value is typically solid and today the beers were $4 each, so that's good.
I liked the setting - the televisions were nice the music wasn't blazing. Our waitress had on a fabulously short skirt and she jiggled delightfully, but that only appeased one of us and we left the restaurant more baffled at the Barbie-Girl service than delighted with the food.
This is the nicest restaurant that I've ever seen. It's also a great place to watch the hockey game as they play with full volume and they bring down the big screen. But much like the other Earl's restaurants, the food is pricey and a bit dicey. The service here isn't quite as good as the other places, probably because this place is always sooo busy!
I had the spicy mixed seafood pasta and tasted very good. The portions were small however and the amount of generic seafood didn't warrant the $16 price tag. The rest of the dishes at the table were good including the steaks and the cajun blacken chicken and the cedar salmon. The servers were attentive and kept coming back and asking what we wanted, and each time we told them we wanted our food. They would say "yes of course" and laugh, like it was the most ridiculous notion ever postulated, and we would laugh along....our laughter died down after 40 minutes of starvation. They apologized for the wait and compensated by giving us....a mandatory tip.
But the restaurant was new and did have a good atmosphere so high points for ambiance.
First off, the parking is insanely expensive, makes me feel like I'm paying for a meal in itself, it's about $18 to park for a movie and a quick lunch! If you park meter you would have to go out after 2 hours to refill the meter, be it in the middle of your movie or eating.
Now with that aside. I was pretty impressed with the decor of this Earl's, quite different from the casual atsmophere they use in the other locations. Starts off with dual sliding doors at the entrance, then a slick spiral staircase that takes you to the washroom (which is quite annoying actually, 15+ steps up the stairs just to wash your hands!) They have a very posh looking bar at the lounge (which is actually bigger than the dining area), very high ceilings. Lookin' good.
Food was very average, not much different from the other locations, kinda throws off the ambiance. The salad barely had any dressing which = no taste & the fries were a bit too salty for me.
Service was not bad, but not very good either. They would come by every now and then to ask if everything was ok, but they kept forgetting to get me things I asked for. (Napkins, water, etc) Usually I would rate them higher depending on how busy it is and cut them some slack, but it was pretty quiet since it was early afternoon.
Final Verdict: The atmosphere is good an' all but the food is the same as any other Earls, add that to the rip off parking and I'm sorry but I'd rather goto another Earl's. I might drop by for a drink if I'm in the area watching a movie.
Earl's has definitely found a very good designer, the room is very glam and exciting, urban and moderne, and all the other hot design terms.
Sadly the concept itself does not live up to the room. It is true to the earls concept, but the room is so much nicer than other earls locations, that the limitations of the food and service become that much more obvious.
The only reason we ever go here is its proximity to the movie theatre is very convenient. Hopefully earls can develop their food to a level to compare with this room...otherwise its a sad waste of such a nice space.
