   Missing items on table and during each course. Did not see waiter often. Some prices to high for what you received. Portions size much smaller than previous. Lesser quality food when compared to other earls locations.

   Had the best experience last night! Arrived to our table set with bubbles and a birthday card for my friend and had a lovely host seat us. Our server Asad was so fun, attentive, and friendly! He also gave us great recommendations. The AGM Caelan was also amazing! He was very hospitable and brought in a welcoming energy. The bar manager Colton made amazing drinks and brought in the most energetic and fun vibe! Overall, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was out of this world. + try the banana cream pie (the best pie I’ve ever tried - please keep it on the menu)

   We had the New Deluxe Burger which was excellent, but the onions were not caramelized as described. The fries were hot , which is always appreciated. Our server was fantastic, and also thanked me for pointing out the onions! I like that the coffee arrived in a nicer mug on a saucer - nice touch!

   Earl's Test Kitchen is one of our go-to restaurants when we come to Downtown Vancouver. The menu is constantly updated with new items, as it is a test kitchen. The staff are amazing, as is the food!

   I was very disappointed with the entire experience tonight. I booked a reservation weeks in advance and requested a booth in the lounge. Upon arrival it was a very busy evening and I didn't mind waiting a little extra time to be seated. The hostess told me it would be five minutes. About 20 min later, I checked in again and was told the same. Finally we were taken to a high top in the lounge, with chairs that would be difficult for my elderly Mom to manage. I asked if we could move. We then stood awkwardly for another 10 minutes, then seated at low chairs in the dining room with plants hanging over the table. I didn't realize a booth was such a difficult request. Finally after another 10 min we got a booth. The server Ruban was polite. My chicken Kung pao arrived cold and I advised him immediately. No manager came by to discuss so I assume they were not advised the dish was sent back. The second dish was warmer but not as hot as I like. My Mom ordered ribs with fries and coleslaw. She was disappointed the ribs were sitting directly on top of the fries which made them soggy and the coleslaw was warm. It was difficult to cut the ribs while sitting on the fries. She advised Ruben and no manager called. We paid and left unhappy.

   Hello Krishna, We very much appreciate the time it took you to give us this valuable feedback and I wanted to express my deepest apologies! I can assure you my team will be made aware immediately so we are able to create a change. Furthermore, I'd love for you to consider giving us the opportunity to show you the level of service & hospitality we're capable of which you should have received the first time. I'd like to offer you $100 credit with our restaurant for the next time you dine in. Please let me know if a specific date & time work well for you and I'll gladly input your reservation and personally ensure you are well looked after! My hope is to earn the trust we so carelessly lost back and that we see you for many enjoyable visits in the future. morez.naraghi@earls.ca

   Angry lettuce wraps flavourless; my tortellini bland, no fresh pepper or parmesan when served, friend’s noodle dish was good.

    The food was good, I was a little disappointed with the size of the chicken breast on my salad, but it all tasted delicious. Our server was excellent it was busy and they did not rush us during our lunch.
