   This is a wonderful place to have a special dinner! The food is beyond excellent. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. It isn't cheap, but quality like this never is. If you want to have a memorable time, this is the place in Manteca to do it. This is our second time there and it looks like it'll be our special occasion go-to spot going forward.

   First time going and would definitely recommend this place! Service and food were great the only reason we didn’t give food 5 stars is because the steak was fatty. But it had great flavor. Drinks were amazing as well. If you like an old fashion you must order one there . It’s probably the best we’ve ever had.

   Another lovely dinner at Ernie's, we have been here a few times. The neighborhood is a little mismatch for what this gem offers inside. Great food and service, attractive ambiance, quiet...we will keep coming back.

    We went NYE. I had requested a table for four in my reservation comments, in advance. Though the main dining room had tables available, we were seated in the adjacent room with a very loud table of 8. Despite asking to turn down the A/C or turn on the heat, it remained quite chilly, which caused us to keep on our jackets throughout. Overall, the restaurant wasn't crowded, but from the start of our 6:30 reservation, we were there until 9:30. It took a full hour to get our appetizers. Plenty of servers so perhaps kitchen was short staffed. Food was good but we were also famished by 8:15, when entrees finally arrived. We'll go back because I've had good experiences in the past. But this time, I was thoroughly disappointed as we wanted to show our NYE guests a wonderful time. Between the cold, lack of ambiance, long delays...it wasn't $600+ well spent.

    Food was good with new chef but, they need to update the iPad mini they give you at the table for drinks. Both our bottle of wine and glasses of dessert Porto 20 year were wrong and was charged higher prices that I didn’t catch until we had already left the restaurant.. Receipt attached for the tree of us dining.

    We had a great time. Food was excellent. Our server Jr. was attentive. Place was clean, well lite and comfortable. The only draw backs were corkage fee was high and size of the cream brûlée for the cost was not proportional.

    Beautiful ambiance, polite staff. Good food but not quite worth the price. Almost $300 for two, sans alcohol, sides, appetizers….just dinner (“large plate”), salad, dessert. And the desserts were disappointing…too sweet, did not taste homemade. When we politely expressed our displeasure with the dessert, the server said, “oh well, now you know for next time!”. Lots of really great choices in the surrounding are…really wanted to love it. Maybe an off night.

    We go here each year for our anniversary. Service was impeccable. Food took quite a long time for it not being overly busy for a Saturday night. Food was very good, but has been excellent in the past. Definitely pricey, as everything is ala carte. I would still recommend as a must try for special occasion. Love Ernie’s!

    Almost everything about Ernie's is outstanding. Great service and great food. Our only complaints are the prices are extremely high - typically $50. - $80. for a la carte entrees. The wine is extremely overpriced. The restaurant's location is really a disappointment - it is next to casino (owned by the same company) and the parking lot and curb appeal need improvement. If you didn't know about Ernie's - you wouldn't stop as you drove by.

    The salads we ate with our meal was wonderful and my son’s filet Mignon was excellent. The lamb rack and beef were not quite as good as we remembered. Desserts included the olive oil cake as well as the chocolate cake. They were outstanding.

    From the time we walked into Ernie’s and was greeted by Camero, then being introduced by Tana as our server for the evening. Tana’s personality really set the tone that we were in for a very delightful evening, we were not disappointed. We, my husband and grandson were there for my birthday. The ambiance was amazing and the food was outstanding. The dungeness crab with risotto was Chef’s kiss 😘 my grandson thought the salmon was amazingly tasteful and flaky . My husband thoroughly enjoyed his pork chop. My birthday dessert is now my new favorite, Affogato was definitely delightful. I will definitely recommend Ernie’s Food & Spirits

    Our second time to Ernie’s in a few years. We were celebrating a couple of birthdays for our party of four. We had a 5:00pm reservation on a Thursday night and were the only party there for about an hour. The restaurant definitely filled up a little later. Service throughout the evening was outstanding. The New York Sour cocktail was beautiful and tasted fantastic. Salads, side dishes, mains, and desserts were all delicious and prepared just right. Yes, expect it to be expensive but it is such a fantastic restaurant for Manteca (and most cities for that matter) that to us it’s worth the splurge now and then.

    My wife and I live in Los Altos and were going to be in Manteca for a few hours so we decided to give Ernie's a try. We had a table next to an open type of wall separating the dining room from the bar. The bar was full of very friendly people having a great time but the noise level was very high and we could barely hear each other. That finally calmed down about an hour later but it was unpleasant while it lasted. My wife had the salmon which was overcooked and dry. I had the New York strip which was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Steaks are ala carte so I ordered the bourbon mushrooms as a side dish. The mushrooms were very good but $18 made them overpriced. Steaks run from about $62 up to $85. Lamb chops are $85. The wine list is very sophisticated having 10-12 vintage champagnes including Cristal and an equal number of non-vintage bottles as well. The selection of whites and reds is extensive but the prices are very high. Wines by the glass were reasonable as were the prices for cocktails. Our dinner came to $251 which included two cocktails, two glasses of wine, one salad and one soup, the salmon, the steak, the mushrooms and one cup of coffee. We did not have dessert. A $40 tip brought the total to $291. Overall, the food was very good as was the service. Just be aware that this is an expensive restaurant, which can be quite loud in the dining room from the bar guests, and that the wine list is not inclusive of many mid-level priced wines.
