Yet another big, new restaurant has opened at Miami Worldcenter.

This time it’s Earls from Earls Restaurant Group based in Vancouver, British Colombia, which serves modern American cuisine. The restaurant is located a few doors down from Sixty Vines at Miami Worldcenter, the $6 billion, 27-acre mixed-use development of retail and residential units in downtown Miami.

The restaurant has 70 locations, 11 of them in the United States, and recently opened a location on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. There’s also a location at the Dadeland Mall in Kendall.

Mark Hladik, president of Earls Restaurant Group, said the group was looking forward to serving downtown Miami.

“Our vision was to create a beautiful space with a sense of place and a completely unique design tailored to the greater Miami community and downtown Miami,” he said in a statement.

It’s a big place to fill. All Earls locations are designed to be unique, including this one, which seats 224 diners and spans 8,400 square feet, with a 2,000-square-foot patio that seats 110. The design involves a fair amount of wood and plants and is decorated with sculptural art from American and South American artists.

The restaurant’s centerpiece is an island bar with a stone countertop and a wood canopy.

The menu features the usual suspects: steaks and seafood towers, and dishes like Korean ribs, Calabrian pasta, wagyu beef oshi press and a Tomahawk maple-glazed pork chop.

Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates, said Earls was a good addition to the development.

“As a brand known for its vibrant energy and elevated dining experience, Earls is a perfect addition to our growing mix of world-class destinations,” he said in a statement. “Its arrival marks another exciting milestone in our vision of creating a true city within a city — one that continues to elevate downtown Miami as a dynamic, walkable and connected urban core.”

Most recently, the Worldcenter welcomed Maple & Ash, a luxury steakhouse from Chicago. Coming soon is the Italian restaurant Serafina from New York.
