About Erie cafe

Erie Cafe, a classic Chicago restaurant, offers incredible food and attentive service. Known for their grilled calamari and steaks, the sides are big enough for 3-4 people. With a great vibe, it's a favorite in the dining out rotation. Easy to get a table, the outside patio is perfect for summer lunches. The steak salads and meatballs are recommended, along with a refreshing limoncello spritz. The attentive and friendly servers, like Johnny, treat guests like royalty. The bone-in rib eye and unique grilled calamari are highlights, with delicious sides like cottage fries. While the baked clams had an odd taste, the tiramisu and key lime desserts were awesome. Perfect for special occasions.
