“Good experience right from the start, the waiter was excellent. Everything that was ordered was delicious from the burger to the southern fried chicken 🍗the menu had Gluten Free choices which was a bonus!! I would definitely be eating here more often if we lived closer!”
Seafood • $$
“Oysters, great selection with the sauce. Food was okay. Lamb was good and w cooked well, mashed was too refined for me. My husband's fish sauce was too parmesan tasting, but he loved the potato au gratin. Cucumber was good, need more simple syrup or mint. Server was knowledgeable. Lots of cob webs outside, beautiful scenic view of the lake.”

“So we had a 8:30 reservation and they were semi busy but only had a 5 minute wait , that was great.First the positives … the food was great , all of it . The seafood medley I highly recommend.The sunset made for an awesome show and lasting atmosphere. The table we were sat in although a great view was by the sever station and repeatedly my chair was kicked or bumped by passing servers, and not one excuse me or apology. Upon Delivering our order one of the lobster tails fell off the plate to the floor while the server was attempting to place the plate. We had to wait an additional 8 minutes for another. This wasn’t a huge deal but it disrupted a very expensive meal and I expect better . I also will point out during the 1.5 hour stay our water was never once filled nor were we asked . Again I expect better from a $240 experience!!! The waiter also brought the bday candle then stated he was staying to make sure no one was burned , we witnessed this from no one else . Weird !!! We were given 2 deserts for the lobster issue and that was good business , so overall a decent experience the food and atmosphere made up for the sub par service !”

“Service is not that great. Commercials are often playing loudly on the TV, I was told to go to a store to get Pani Puri after they told me they would have it after they did not have it multiple times when I was told they would... I was literally the only one in their once and the waitress starts running the vacuum right at my table as soon as I get served food, and the floor was already spotless. for the prices they need to work on ambiance and over all customer service.”

“The waitress was very nice. She requested "PINK" for my extremely expensive hamburger. It was almost a hockey puck. Also, I don"t think customers(especially those 80+ yrs) should be referred to as "you guys. We are not "you guys". How unclassy is that!! I would expect that at a High School football game hot dog stand. Hmmmmm.”

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!! 😁”
Pizza • $
“I work in the activities department for Soldiers' and Sailors' Home and this evening we were very pleased with our outing at Maria's Pizza. Not only did their diverse menu hit the spot for many picky eaters, but it also provided a great family atmosphere. The staff was very kind and courteous, respectful of our Veterans and they served us with perfect time, especially since our crowd is typically not known to be very patient and/or have short attention spans. The pricing was well within budget, giving our residents the ability to splurge and go wild on a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Thank you so much for the amazing experience! This is not the last time we see Maria's!”

I cannot have dairy and everything I wanted to order was available dairy free not to mention no use of seed oils and everything was non gmo! I got a toasted marshmallow latte and it was by far the best latte I have ever ordered out and the owner knew what ingredients were used for the items available. Rare to find places like this!! I absolutely loved it here”

We were there celebrating my granddaughter in law’s birthday and it happened to be Cinco de Mayo day! Even with how busy they were, they were pleasant and helpful! I’m a senior and definitely enjoyed my visit. I hope to make it again sometime. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the waitress’s name but she was very friendly and helpful.”

“On a Friday evening at approximately 7 PM, my wife and I went to Colao’s Restaurant with our 3 month old daughter. Our baby did not make a peep the entire time we went in to get a table. The hostess, who was exceptionally unsympathetic and rude, said she didn’t believe they could make any accommodation for our very compact stroller. She checked to see if she could stuff us in the back corner and when she was unable to she told us she had no room for us that evening. She didn’t even offer a possible wait time! As a side note there were several open tables available at the time we were standing there and they were allegedly reserved. I have a very difficult time believing they were unable to find a spot for two people and a very compact stroller the remainder of the entire evening. Apparently the “Italian” family restaurant I remembered was no longer very family oriented if there was potential to disturb the ambiance for their elegant clientele. Anyways, we called Ricardo’s and they accepted us with open arms! The atmosphere was much more welcoming and family oriented as we prefer and the staff was extremely pleasant and kind. The portions were larger and in my opinion much better for a more modest price. So if you feel like dining Italian in Erie, I would highly recommend Ricardo’s.”

“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!”

“We've been going to Hibachi for years because we love the food and always have a great experience. Until last night... the food was really good, the chef, cook whatever guy Jonathan was awful as compared to our previous experiences. He didn't interact with anyone, our whole table was watching a different table because that chef was so entertaining, the guests at that table were hooting and hollering and I think we were all envious. We'll absolutely return but probably make sure we don't have the same cook.”

It is worth noting that it is a smoker friendly bar, but their smoke eater machines are excellent. Some of the best in the area.”

“My husband and I enjoyed our Valentine's dinner one day early at the 814 Chophouse and we were very pleased. We used our Erie Fine Dining card. Our food was delicious including shrimp cocktail, Tuscan bread with wonderfully infused olive oil, Caesar salad with anchovies, and a wonderful Spanish red wine Campo Viejo Tempranillo suggested by our professional and knowledgeable head server who truly has a passion for her craft. My husband had a perfectly prepared steak with a 1/2 bulb of garlic & baked potato and I had their artfully prepared salmon with spinach in a delectably seasoned broth with a little extra drizzle of garlic and lemon flavor. Dessert was dark choc. ice cream for him and peanut butter pie for me with French pressed coffee to complete our truly wonderful evening. We shared our appreciation and compliments with our server and their chef. We are so glad they have retained the "Hunt Room" atmosphere of old - very fine dining in our opinion. AAA+ If they could clone our server and increase their staff it would be perfect. We started out with cocktails at the bar in Bolero's. Would love to hear some Latin guitar music live by Julio Quezada or Mambo in the future or even recorded - to add to a truly enjoyable evening. We got to try a brand new cocktail created by our Chophouse server - an Elderflower Fizz - delicious and topped off with a splash of Spumante. Not an inexpensive evening but worth every penny in our opinion.”

Beer Gardens • $$
“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.”

The crowd was mixed and very relaxed. I had zero over stimulation issues here. Food was good. We ordered buffalo chicken dip it had pickled celery in it. Which I’m def copying the recipe at home now. This is a new date spot in our rotation. The girls were busy and kept up with great service.”

The lobster mac n' cheese as well as the tiramisu were phenomenal and deserve special mention (best tiramisu my husband says he's ever had). Service was top notch and deserves its own accolades.

“This is regarding the location inside Turfway Park Racing and Gaming in Florence Kentucky.. Husband and I wanted to come out and watch the band that was there this past Saturday night. Apparently they have a new table service 'rule' in effect. if I understand it correctly, in order to sit at a table and watch the band which doesn't start until 9:30 or later, you MUST order $50 worth of food and or drinks. After the 2 hours that you are there, if you want to stay longer, they will charge you an additional $50. Who are they to tell people how much they must spend on food and drinks? We stood outside of the railing actually in the casino and watched the band for the 1st set.. We saw a couple sitting at a small round table in front of us only order two alcoholic beverages the whole time they were there.. so you are telling me that you expect two people to sit at your table and if they are not ordering food, you expect them to spend $50 on alcohol in order to sit at the table? Unless I am misunderstanding,,, needless to say, we will never ever step foot inside of this restaurant to eat or drink.”

“The waitress was very nice. She requested "PINK" for my extremely expensive hamburger. It was almost a hockey puck. Also, I don"t think customers(especially those 80+ yrs) should be referred to as "you guys. We are not "you guys". How unclassy is that!! I would expect that at a High School football game hot dog stand. Hmmmmm.”

“My husband & I bought a Large cheese, mushroom, onion & sausage pizza from Peach Street Dominoes on 10/28/25, for only $9.99. It was absolutely delicious!! We were so impressed how quick service was & every worker there was professional & very friendly. The entire atmosphere was very pleasant & very clean. I can’t say enough about the workers and what an outstanding Pie they made for us!! I recommend everyone try their pizza because it is definitely worth the trip & tip!!!! This is definitely now one of our favorite pizza places to go to 😊”

“I was at the beach and it was time for dinner. I'd never been to this restaurant, no Erie. Carol was my waitress. She was friendly, explained the menu well and made some good suggestions. It was clear to me that Carol enjoyed her job and was aware of the varied dishes offered. The food was tremendous. I lived in Chicago for 10 years and NYC for 10 years and this restaurant is top notch. Thank you!”

“Service is not that great. Commercials are often playing loudly on the TV, I was told to go to a store to get Pani Puri after they told me they would have it after they did not have it multiple times when I was told they would... I was literally the only one in their once and the waitress starts running the vacuum right at my table as soon as I get served food, and the floor was already spotless. for the prices they need to work on ambiance and over all customer service.”

Dessert
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
