    Not at all a good experience. Was so excited to dine here on our anniversary. After waiting an exceptionally long time for the food it was overcooked and yet only lukewarm warm when served. We just had to send the fish back. The veal was rubbery and soft shell crab was cool and not at all crispy. Two of us sent ours back and the other two just ate some of theirs complaining the entire meal. No one came to the table to apologize except the guy serving water. So sad but I will never go back. Ugh

    Our server was excellent and very attentive. The drinks were well made and prompt. The marinated crab claws and homemade bread were a home run (as always). Unfortunately, our entrees were under seasoned and the snapper tasted as if it had been frozen (very tough to eat). In hindsight, I should have let my server know and sent it back. We always love going to Ernest's but were both disappointed in our entrees... especially with at tab well over $250 for 2 people.
