About Ernie's On The Creek

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 been inconsistent, with excellent bartender service but some unfriendly female bartenders. Recently, the restaurant has been praised for its helpful, attentive, and respectful staff, creating a welcoming environment. Customers have noted exceptional service from servers like Zoe, Zoey, and Andrea, who have gone above and beyond to make special occasions memorable. The bar is beautiful, equipped with many TVs, and the outdoor seating area looks 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.

Love this place
Ernie’s has become our new favorite spot in Rochester. The setting, the food, the drinks, the service and the vibe are all top notch and it gets better with each visit
What a great addition to an already great city!

Excellent food and service in a beautiful setting. Outdoor seating is almost magical.
Our party enjoyed the dip trio and saganaki appetizers, along with limoncello spritzers and well garnished martinis. Our entrees for 6 were shrimp souvlaki, chicken souvlaki, lamb chops, and the smash burger, with sides of potatoes, vegetable medley and orzo. All meals were perfectly cooked, well seasoned and delicious! What a wonderful addition to downtown Rochester dining along paint creek....read full review
