There is often a line due to high demand but don’t be discouraged! It moves quickly. All of their pastries and pretzel rolls are delicious. 😋”

“We’ve gone to Bar Ronin many times and every single time we go, the service is amazing (Branden is a rock star) and the flavors are outstanding. If you’ve never sat at the kitchen bar to watch this well oiled machine work magic, it is well worth it. Thank you Chef Dan and staff for all of your efforts. 👏👏👏👏”
“This place is absolutely phenomenal! Went last night for a girls night out and everything from the service to the food to the immense wine list and wines on tap were top notch! I don’t have a single negative thing to say, and we will be back! (I 100% recommend the charcuterie board- yum!) 🧀 🥰🍷”
“First off usually I only write bad reviews bit today I was compelled to write a positive 5 star review because I finally had 5 star service my waiters name was Matt B. he was on point attentative personable and present his service was EXACTLY the kind of service you would expect when having any meal in a sit down establishment that man needs a raise a promotion and to be the guy training every other sever in the building that is your cornerstone waiter for an example of what good service looks like (positive happy present and there to help)”
“Good experience overall with prompt and friendly service. The only fault was bringing the salads, appetizers and main course at the same time. By the time we finished eating our starters the main was barely warm.”
“💙We love the fun and friendly vibe at the 12th St. Pub. The Lake Erie Penn State Alumni Club watched their 🏈football team on to victory at the 12th St. Pub. for the 2024-25 season. Lots of TVs to watch the game. Great food and great service! 🙌🏻🙌🏻”
“I’ve been to room 33 about 5 times and every single time I have been there it is amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks, the decor, the customer service! I’ve been there twice for wedding receptions, and three times with friends or family. Keep up the great work! Love this place❤️”

“Todd helped us at the counter when we came by and was exceedingly patient, helpful, informative, and friendly. Pricing was great, doing the sub of the sub of the day meal deal (with drink and chips) was cheaper than getting an individual sub. Todd offered to wrap a foot long in two wrappers since he new it was to be shared. Todd should get a raise.”
“I’ve never met better people than you guys! You guys are working Christmas Eve and while some may be bitter - you both are the exact opposite and are what Christmas is all about! Thank you Amanda and Robert for amazing customer service. I wish you nothing but the best.”

“I've tried this place at least 5 times. food is good. Today I walked in and grabbed menu and was ready to order. the young lady blonde ponytail just continued to fold bags while I was standing there. eventually I had to seat at the bar and the other nice lady took my order behind the bar. the nice lady had to hand the check to blonde haired girl to cash me out. others came in to dine and blonde head girl assistant them in a hurry. made me uncomfortable.”

They were quick to service the tables, bring whatever was needed, and kind and polite as well! The food was great too! I would definitely recommend the Colony for any of your catering needs!! Thanks for a great reunion!!”

“One of my favorite places to eat in Erie! The staff is so kind and the food is delicious. I really appreciate the vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu, and I always look forward to their vegan special each week! Always my go-to spot, and each time I go, I like it even better than the last.”
“We have been going to Nostrovia since they opened, and we make it a point to go at least 2-3 times a month. The beer list is changing out frequently and always has an option for everybody. Not a beer drinker, no worries because there are options for the non-beer drinkers as well. They always have a cider on tap, frozen drinks in the summer, a mule (compliments of luminary) and sometimes a seltzer is available too. The food is simple, but the taste is incredible! We have never been disappointed here. Not to mention the staff have always been extremely kind and gracious to their guests. Thank you to catering to those of us who come with kiddos with the “busy bee” kits and hot dog meals!! This is beyond appreciated from 2 parents who still want to come and enjoy the place with our 2 year old! Cannot recommend this quaint little brewery enough!”
“I want to give a huge shout out to the workers at Panos on Sunday morning. We had more people then anticipated for breakfast and they accommodated us with ease and professionalism. It turned from 15 to 29 people! Waitresses kept calm, everything ran smoothly and was a pleasure to be served with such grace. Thank you!! 😁”
“good pizza. great owner. More than once my order has been wrong or late. showed up for my order pick up 5 minutes after time to be done. They forgot a pizza. had to wait for pizza. I'd have liked option to just cancel and get home instead of waiting. I'll still go back. Got home and the pizza I was given is crazy spicy hot like they put the hot honey sauce or something on it.”
“I love how Arnone's keeps old italian traditional foods alive. The foods and dough are fresh daily. Il loro cibo mi ricorda la cucina della mia bisnonna cresciuta a Little Italy.”
“Thank you The Cork 1794 for the BEST time today! Service was absolutely amazing, the food was delicious and Elsa was beyond perfect and made my daughter the happiest girl! Face Painting by Connie LLC is always the cherry 🍒 on top! Thank you thank you thank you! ❄️ Elsa brunch was beyond magical 🌟”
“My God, just ate the BEST chicken I've ever ate HANDS DOWN!!! Thank you Mark for introducing me to Tha Flavor!! I'll be back guaranteed!!”
“We had an Event in the Ballroom on Friday. Julio could not have been more helpful, very easy to work with. He had wonderful suggestions, too. The atmosphere was fabulous, we hired Ed Koscelek for uplights to create an even more beautiful ambience for our 200 attendees. The food was delicious and the service excellent! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you, Julio and Staff! We appreciate ALL that you did to make our evening the best!”
“Great food and fantastic atmosphere! House salad with Gorgonzola dressing is delicious, my husband loves all the veal dishes, I love their scallops! Service is consistently good!”
“Always love the beer. Salaura always does a great job. very friendly and helpful. Old fashioned is amazing!”
“I always seem to have the very best bands in town, very good food and great atmosphere.”
“Went there tonight 02/01/26, we sat at the bar. The bartender/waitress was spot on. The bar seating was completely packed and the young lady behind the bar did her job to perfection and as always the food was cooked to perfection and the drinks were perfect. We didn't catch her name but we would like to thank her for the wonderful service! 😊”
“Best service I’ve had in Erie. Our server had a very fun Personality. He was very personable, assertive and fast! Food and drinks were fantastic.”
“Great experience, our chef was excellent and very entertaining. Food was out of this world, ordered hibachi and sushi, both were fresh and full of flavor. Would highly recommend.”
“Fun place! love the nostalgia....AND the chicken tortilla soup...AND the cookies...AND, AND, AND!!!! lol”
“First off this place is neat. Being run inside an old train station is just something you don’t see and makes it so much “warmer” inside. We had some of the craft sodas which were good, and for food we had the fried pierogis, The Pittsburger and The Train Wreck. The pierogis were good, the burger was really good, but the Train Wreck was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’d drive 500 miles to eat this sandwich again. The fries were really good and all off us were stuffed. If I ever come through Erie again this is the first place I’m stopping.”
“Rooms are great. Amenities are ample. Pool, Jacuzzi, Workout Room. Full service bar & restaurant.”
“This place is amazing! Walked in for the first time and got a sample of the turkey and ham(so good!!) The tavern club and broccoli bacon salad is what I got and my girlfriend got the chicken salad sandwich and mac and cheese and it was amazing! I’ll definitely going to have to come back to try the rest of the menu!”
“Highly recommend!!! It was clean and the staff were friendly, always checking up on the party throwers to make sure the kids were comfortable and entertained. Was amazed at the ability for kids to play games by swiping your wrist bands instead of inserting coins. Very affordable…”
“The only place we will order ribs. Tasty, fall off the bone.”
“My son picked this place because of the cactus logo and what a pleasant surprise. The food was awesome both of the kids loved it. Kylie our server was outstanding. So helpful and helped add to a great weekend with my kiddos. We will without a doubt return and will recommend.”
“Had a great experience here tonight. We were traveling through and wanted something with cooked vegetables. It was quick and delicious. We had hibachi chicken with fried rice, edamame, miso soup and mixed veg in garlic sauce (it was not spicy). It was a large portion, my husband and I probably could have shared one entree with an extra rice. Our waiter was so nice and did a great job, we could tell he was very busy but we had a good time. Thank you for a great meal!”
“On 08/10/2025, a Friend & I had dinner here at Smugglers’ Wharf. The food was Amazing.The best Supper I’ve had in a long time. I give this Restaurant a 10.”
“We were up from Canada. Looking for a place with live music. Band was excellent! Gypsy Heart was the name. Sounded great. Classic rock! Good atmosphere. As long as ypur okay with smoking inside the bar. Prices were good! Recomend giving it a try!”
“Your food and service are top notch! Many guests made it a point to tell us how good the food was. My husband and I enjoyed our meal immensely. The bartender was also friendly and efficient. We appreciate you and cannot thank you enough for helping to make wonderful memories and lasting positive impressions for our loved ones. Everything about our daughter's wedding was just perfect. It's such a blessing to count on your professionalism and know we never needed to worry about a thing. We will pass along the good word of your services to everyone we know. 😉 Best wishes to you in your professional business! Mother of the Bride, Event 7/12/2024”
“We enjoyed our meals at LBV Steakhouse in Erie PA. Service was great too! The only thing bad was having to walk through a smoking (smell from cigarettes) casino. But once inside of restaurant it was gone.”
“I always have an outstanding experience at this bar. The music was exceptional, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the overall energy was unmatched. A special commendation to the bartenders for their excellent service and to the security team for ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. The level of hospitality here is truly top-tier.”

“unfortunately, Sara's keeps on disappointing me. I loved this place. the oversimplified menu and change in ingredients leaves little to be desired. my visit today left me with an incorrect order. and even though it was their mistake, I had to go back to the register outside to reorder and pay again. all while holding my other order and 2 little kids. after I told the worker that this was a horrible way to treat a customer, she smirked and told me very sarcastically to have a good day. my gift card couldn't be honored because they don't have the scanners anymore, and my food had everything that I didnt want on it. do better.”
“We as a group of 11 came in over about a half hour waiting for the my daughter that ran the marathon. The gal serving us was sweet, she handled 6 different checks with one holding the wings for all. She had the cutest smile. It’s nice to see a person having fun while they do their job. Towards the end of our long stay I told her she did a great job and thanked her. I asked her name and she said Lexi. I felt like I met a friend as she smiled a huge smile so I threw her a kiss, she threw one back. Then she said thank you so much as she was scared as her first huge table. Boss man, hear me. Lexi is a charm. You treat her good and I’m sure she’ll have people coming back to get her smile and great service. When I come from Jamestown way for doctors visit, we will ge back. To see Lexi but the food was really good too! Date of visit: September 2025”

“Excellent cookies and service at this location. It’s super busy in the parking lot with many patrons throwing on their 4ways and stopping outside of the storefront. Can be congested outside.
The cookies are warm so if that is your thing that is great! Get yourself some milk and enjoy right away. I personally love them when they cool down so leaving them in the fridge and using the cookie cutter makes them last and helps with portion control since they are incredibly delicious!”
“On New Year’s Eve, my son’s birthday, he wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting from Art’s, a case regular. We walked in, it was pretty busy, and unfortunately they didn’t have any left. The kind young lady behind the counter offered to scrape a chocolate with white frosting one and refrost it with chocolate for him. Very sweet. Then TODAY exactly one month later, I had a craving for their cannoli’s, the best in town in my opinion. We get there and there is one small one left in the case. Upon seeing my disappointment another young woman asked me how many I wanted and offered to make some large ones fresh for me on the spot. This place not only has the best baked goods, but stellar customer service! I will forever be loyal to Art’s! This all happened at the West Erie location and I am super impressed with their consistent service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Stopped in today after realizing this is a brand-new location (just opened last Friday!). The staff were super friendly, the place was very clean, and my food was made quickly and tasted great. They didn’t have plant-based protein, but they added extra veggies and ingredients to my wrap without me even having to ask, which I really appreciated. Great experience overall….hope this location lasts! Update- came in for my birthday freebie and they left me the cutest note!!!!”
“Hannah, I enjoyed watching you craft my subs. I was able to pick up on a few things by watching you, as a previous GM/ RGM of a few establishments. First of all you ARE management. I knew before I asked you. The young man you were working with, (11/3 around 11am)although his shirt matched yours, he was unremarkable. He seemed to struggle with being motivated. He allowed food to cook on the grill and then went to the restroom. I hope he was okay. I know it can be difficult to work when one isn’t okay.
You, made many orders, simultaneously. You moved efficiently and with precision. I can tell you were waiting for the proper time to offer coaching, as You remained focused on the customer. You disengaged with the lackadaisical worker as silence is deadly. I have been in your position. Honestly, I wanted to go back, wash up, and clock in to help you, as I was watching the situation unfold! You were killing it all by yourself!
If I could offer feedback…. Smile and welcome each customer as they arrive, even if you are busy. Let the customer know you’re finishing up with another order. I knew what was going on by the “slip” laying on the counter what you were doing. I was not offended. Another customer, on the other hand, may feel ignored. Other than that, the restaurant was clean, the music was perfect, and I was so thankful for the Celsius!!!”
