There's nothing bad to say about Ernie's. They have a wonderful wine selection that will make anyone happy. The menu is just as incredible! The icing on the cake is the staff, they are the hidden gems. We can't wait to be back!

We had a great experience at Ernie's. They accepted us really early from our reservation and sat us down right away. Our waiter was the best, she was awesome but I am bad in remembering names, but she was the best. My teenage daughters loved the food and so did my husband and I. Will definitely come here again. Highly highly recommend Ernie's.

I had the oysters on the half shell and they were so tiny I needed to push aside the garnish of tomatoes and peppers to find them. I have never seen such small oysters. They were so small that you could not obtain any flavor. Also, there are only two choices for Chardonnay by the glass and both left something to be desired. The French Onion soup was delicious and the Crab Cakes were outstanding.

Update. even though, the originals staff is no longer at ernie's, at least most staff, ernie's still exquisite restaurant. my husband and i recently came back, and the food is so good and the beef wellington is my favorite, OK, maybe the dough does need to be thicker, but I still deliciously loved it. Service is excellent, we haven't sat at the bar yet but we will definitely will, soon!!! Because bartender can make drinks like her life dependent on it. I Also highly recommend take out, we just recently did take out and they did so good a packing the food, and they give you plenty of huge portions of the sides. But owner, if you're reading this, you really have extend your hours to at least 9pm, come on

What a hidden gem! Great service, great food, wonderful atmosphere. Our server was delightful and knew the menu and dishes well. Portions were generous. Perfect place for a special occasion. Can't wait to go back.

we were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress kept vigilance over us to make sure we would have a good experience. the appetizer of 6 oysters were so small, that I was not sure that I even had one. The brie was burned so badly you could not tell it was even food. The hamburger was excellent. My wife had the Filet Medallions which were very good. We have been at this restaurant many times. I am not so sure we will be back.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary. Yaritza provided a fabulous service. Food & drinks were excellent.

Wonderful food and service. A little loud with one woman with 0.0 class and a loud mouth who brought her brat kid... and another couple with an infant. Get a sitter on Saturday night!

I couldn’t be happier choosing Ernie’s as the place to celebrate my 10 year anniversary. Tanna our server, even help me coordinate the floral delivery (a dozen red roses from Manteca Floral Co.) and set it as our table centerpiece.
The food and service is superb; on par with any fine dining from the big city or wine country. The ambiance is ideal for the most important occasions. All of my expectations were surpassed!

Great food and service! Everything was cooked perfectly and the waitress was super attentive.

My wife and I went for our anniversary. The menus said "Happy Anniversary" on the top of the first page and they wrote it in chocolate sauce on my wife's dessert plate. The food was excellent (Wagyu filet) and they have an extensive wine and spirits selection. It is really expensive (including tip, $370 for two people), but the kind of place you splurge for on special occasions.

We hada wonderful and enjoyable dinner at Ernie's Beautiful leather booth, attentive service and delicious food. Desert was amazing and came with delicious chocolate writing wishing me Happy Birthday It was a special surprise as we live in Sacrsmento and were not expecting such an outstanding restaurant experience in this smaller town.

Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was attentive, but not over- bearing. The only spoiler was the loud background music,

Judy

Steak was tasteless and mostly fat Service slow, Desert took 25 minutes to get. Steak was undercooked. No flavor whatsoever atmosphere was beautiful love the bread and the olive Almond spread. Would definitely go again, but will stick to some of the dishes we've had in the past that we know we're good

Don't be scared of the prices! The food is outstanding and our service was perfect. Our server was attentive, helpful but not intrusive. There when we needed her, ready and willing to make suggestions all with a smile and the best attitude. Make the time and go for the best all-around dining experience in the County (and beyond!).
