Extraordinary food! Definitely recommend the Lucy Burger and the short ribs. Staff is professional, friendly and attentive. Fun atmosphere! Make sure to try the Bubble drink. The Wagyu steak on a plate is amazing!!

i’ll try and make this as short and sweet as possible because honestly i could write a chapter of a book with what my coworkers and i have experienced there….for starters…they’re allergic to money.completely unaccommodating…when there is no where to sit at the bar and you have a large party who wants to eat the late menu they expect you to stand in the middle of the place and eat so basically you’re SOL.there’s like 10 of us and the bill is like $50 a person…before TIP. ?we arrive 2 hours before closingwe’re ALL in the industryyou would think they would be more accommodating seeing there was not ONE open seat at the bar…..one of the bar tenders has a HORRIBLE attitude and if she hated her job so much she should find a new one. i have NEVER seen her kind, cool, calm, or collective while doing her JOB. the other 3 bartenders and the servers are super nice and yet they’re best….asked attitudinal for ketchup one time for the burger she brought out and she rolled her eyes and walked away pissy without answering….(this isn’t the first time either…it’s EVERYTIME)maybe we’re just used to being over accommodating and kind where we work so we thought we could get the same treatment ??♀️do better….all of us are surely never coming back….

Literally everything was so delish. Prime rib was probs my favorite, very cool ambiance

Cool vibe. Food was very good, but quality was a bit swingy between items, maybe the menu could be a little more focused. The bone broth was spectacular.

The food was okay- the desserts were DELICIOUS. My husband and I loved the atmosphere and our waitress (Chloe? I feel bad that I missed her name!) was so sweet! After my husband let her know that I am deaf in one ear, she made it a point to approach our table on my hearing side so I could hear her easily! Would recommend!

First time visit.The atmosphere felt like we were out of town on vacation in a bigger city. The decor, the flow, and the set up is not what you normally find in Erie... And that's a good thing.Our waiter was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and prompt with service.The food ( I had the burger, my wife has the spare rib dinner) was full of flavor, hot, fresh, and the perfect portion size.The drink menu had something for every taste out there. Compliments to the bartender!Whether you are local or visiting the area, Put this restaurant on your "must visit" list.

Prepare yourselves... this one is going to be long! Stopped in on a Friday night around 9:20! Seated super quick right away (this is awesome!)... super dissatisfied with overall experience. Right off the bat the server was trying her best to up the spend amount... consistently asked do you want cocktails (easily asked around 3-4 times). We started off with the Fried Chicken Karaage... best thing we had all night @ 7/10. With this strong start assumed that the rest of the food would be somewhat impressive. Again asked us 2-3 times do you want anymore apps. All right let's move onto main plates... we ordered the Japanese Prawn Scampi, Winter Vegetable Curry, Kombu & Carmelized XO noodles, and lastly the Brussels sprouts. Bonus: they made us some "vegetable lo mein" Japanese Prawn Scampi was probably the best main plate but there was nothing unique... I've had better shrimp dishes at this price point. The scampi lacked acid, somewhat on the sweet side. Nice attempt but not all the way there... I would give it 5/10. The sticky rice it came with was good though... 10/10. Winter vegetable curry was nothing special... super bland and tasteless. No flavor or aromatics. 4/10... cauliflower looked sad. Some of the squash was burnt! Kombu & Caramelized XO noodles... we had to send this back because the waiter and the menu failed to mention the XO sauce had ham (haram for Muslims, and one guest in our party happened to be Muslim). I know traditionally XO sauce has ham, but anytime I have had it here in the U.S. it's been without pork... even at super authentic restaurants. I'm gonna say 50% waiters fault for not asking about dietary restrictions + 50% ours. Anyways this gets a 0 cause it was not worth $14 regardless of the pork. To "fix" their mistake a "Vegetable Lo mein" was brought out with a side of a back handed compliment... the person who brought it out said "I like what you're doing here just trying to try the whole menu." This vegetable lo mein was off menu. The noodles were chewy and the proportion of noodles to vegetables was not appropriate imo. WAAAY TOO MUCH SOY SAUCE...I would give it 3/10. The Brussels sprouts were drenched in oil and didn't need the load of Parmesan on top. So 1/10? The decor of this restaurant is really awesome and the space they've created is very unique here in Erie... it's a shame the food sucks! Would I come back here again... most likely not... maybe just apps and drinks. *This was my second time... first time I just went for the late night food and that too was a joke... $7 for a regular school cafeteria grilled cheese . I had high hopes after the appetizer but I was disappointed.
Absolutely love dining here! Always get the best service and the food arrives hot and delicious every time!! Trendiest place i have eaten in Erie so far!

There's nothing negative to say about this place. From the loud graffiti style art and neon signs on the walls, to the moodlighting and the open kitchen, it's an experience. But it's not all about pictures and ambiance, the food is delicious and creative, and frankly it's fun. The price tag is high but worth every penny in my opinion. I can't wait to come back on my next trip to Erie.

This place is immaculate from the low lighting that pops, creating an other world, kind of restaurant to the awesome curated playlist that fits the vibe and last, but not least the great food that has so many fresh

Graffiti on the interior is distasteful imo, & decor is far too ‘bright’ .Like Steampunk meets purple rain , as the scenery isn’t all that inviting .Personally i only see this place hanging on by FB snap shots or the occasional article in the Erie reader..1201 would be a good example in comparison by the decapitating exterior that once held fine dining..
