   So of course we started with cocktails, lemon drop($14.00) not that great, I've had a lot better and a Grey goose dirty martini was good($12.00). Split the baby iceberg wedge, bacon way too salty:( for me($16.00). I had the Appetizer 2 seared scallops ($28.00) be aware they were way to spicy for me the menu (Bristol bay scallops, local plum sauce, pickled carrot, Microgreens) no where does it say spicy I had to scrap off the top of each scallops just to eat it, I thought they were cooked perfect but the dry rub was way to hot for me. Grilled Niman Ranch pork chop was excellent ( $52.00) added 2 scallops ($28.00) dessert split the affogato ($14.00) total bill $175.39 little steep, but its the best restaurant close to us and that's still 17 miles. If they didn't charge $30.00 to open a bottle of wine I would probable go more often. Not kidding its a great place but pretty expensive for the everything.

   This has been our go to place for special occasions. Last night we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with our best friends who were celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary. The cocktails and appetizers were very good - baked Brie and scallops. The summer salad was good however one tablespoon of burrata seemed a bit skimpy! The crab risotto was very good. My husband’s steak was very fatty. Kind of disappointed for the amount of money we spent.

    This was a really nice surprise. Outside, this place doesn't look very attractive/impressive; but once you cross the door... Oh my God! What a beautiful place. Bar area is awesome. Restaurant set up, very elegant; more in the small side, but definitely is worth. Food is very good and the presentation/appearance of each dish is just simply beautiful.

    We celebrated Mother’s Day dinner at you lovely little restaurant and everything was top notch. We loved our waitress, Tana, we appreciated the excellent suggestions from your executive chef, John, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It was the best meal we’ve had in a long time.

Food, Scallops perfect, Salmon over cooked, Cesar Salad dressing was weird questioning was it a Cesar salad? finished our meal with complementary Champaigne and Creme Brule. Yummy. Thank you Ernies

    The food was fabulous! We had steak, carrots, asparagus, a wedge salad, and chocolate cake for dessert. Drinks were wonderful! Great service especially in the dining room. The bar was a bit slow however. Ambience is always very nice. We love this place for special occasions. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it!

    Best restaurant experience we have had in a while. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Birthday cake martinis are delicious. We had the French onion soup as the appetizer to try. My husband had a steak with creamed spinach and potatoes. I had the king salmon that comes with crab fried rice and carrots. Highly recommend!

    This is a great restaurant, exceptional for Manteca but very expensive. If you've got the cash, the Angus steaks are wonderful as are the salads. The truffle Mac and cheese was excellent. Certainly a special occasion place in a very pedestrian setting.

    The whole experience was amazing. The food was outstanding. The 12oz New York steak was so good that I finished it there, I never eat more then an 8oz. I was full when I finished but did not feel uncomfortable. Even with a slice of chocolate cake. It will make you never want a steak from another restaurant.

    I ordered the Wagyu steak medium rare and some of it was more medium. At $76.00 I should have sent it back but didn’t. My dinner companion had the prime ribeye and it was a little too rare but good! It was her birthday so the complimentary dessert was a nice touch.

    Two couples celebrating a 30th and 40th Anniversary. Sue, our wait staff person was excellent. The occasion was made extra special by serving complimentary champagne to toast our anniversaries. Bartender excelled in preparing a smoked Old Fashion with a little sweet, delicious. The meal was fabulous - steaks tender, bison short ribs very flavorful, crab pasta just plain yummy. Kudos to the Ernie’s team for creating a memorable evening. Thank you!

    We have dined at Ernie's several times for special occasions. The food has always been excellent along with the service and ambience. Dining on Valentine's Day, and a late seating, did not lend to the best experience for several reasons. However, once we explained our disappointment to our server, who then forwarded the input to the Chef, our bill was taken care of with a sincere invitation to come back again. We DEFINITELY will be going back. The chef handled it perfectly.
