    There’s nothing bad to say about Ernie’s. They have a wonderful wine selection that will make anyone happy. The menu is just as incredible! The icing on the cake is the staff, they are the hidden gems. We can’t wait to be back!

    We had a great experience at Ernie’s. They accepted us really early from our reservation and sat us down right away. Our waiter was the best, she was awesome but I am bad in remembering names, but she was the best. My teenage daughters loved the food and so did my husband and I. Will definitely come here again. Highly highly recommend Ernie’s.

    I had the oysters on the half shell and they were so tiny I needed to push aside the garnish of tomatoes and peppers to find them. I have never seen such small oysters. They were so small that you could not obtain any flavor. Also, there are only two choices for Chardonnay by the glass and both left something to be desired. The French Onion soup was delicious and the Crab Cakes were outstanding.

    we were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress kept vigilance over us to make sure we would have a good experience. the appetizer of 6 oysters were so small, that I was not sure that I even had one. The brie was burned so badly you could not tell it was even food. The hamburger was excellent. My wife had the Filet Medallions which were very good. We have been at this restaurant many times. I am not so sure we will be back.

    Wonderful food and service. A little loud with one woman with 0.0 class and a loud mouth who brought her brat kid... and another couple with an infant. Get a sitter on Saturday night!
