Ernie's On The Creek offers a varied dining experience, with both hits and misses. The restaurant features a new location near downtown, with a convenient drop-off area and a banquet hall. The ambiance is described as fine dining, with a pleasant atmosphere suitable for weekend dates or family meals. The food has received mixed reviews, with a "perfect" frittura mista and delicious homemade pasta dishes, but issues with the bruschetta and swordfish. Service has also been inconsistent, with excellent bartender service but unfriendly female bartenders that have reportedly ruined the experience for some customers. Recently, the restaurant has been praised for its helpful, attentive, and respectful staff, creating a welcoming environment. The bar is beautiful, equipped with many TVs, and the outdoor seating area looks very inviting and appears to be heated, making it comfortable even in cooler weather. During visits, customers enjoyed well-balanced cocktails like the Winter Margarita and Greek Goddess, as well as flavorful starters such as marinated olives and feta, Horiatiki salad, and Pikilia/Dips with roasted pita and vegetables. Entrees like Salmon Santorini, flame-grilled lamb chops, and street gyro are cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The sides, including lemon-seasoned orzo and a chopped vegetable medley, complement the main dishes well. The overall experience is positive, especially when the staff is attentive, and the ambiance is enhanced by live music at a suitable volume. While some reviews mention that the place can be a bit hidden and the music loud, many find the quality of food and atmosphere worth the visit. Despite being on the pricier side, the combination of ambiance and good food makes Ernie's On The Creek a recommended dining destination.
