    The chicken scarp was not fresh. The owner was not available. The waiter was very nice. I have introduced many people to this restaurant, and always had a great dinner. Last night was my anniversary and it was the worst meal I ever had there. Very disappointing.

    My husband and I are never disappointed when we come here. As a matter of fact, my favorite appy is the Three Cheese Onion soup. When we were there last, it was not on the menu. They don't make it often. I was told to call the next time and if they could, would make it. Well, we went Friday evening. I did call and they were able to make it. It was the icing on the cake! Perfect! Their food and drink are always perfect! Also, the music they play is enjoyable to listen to while having dinner. Thank you to George, Chef/owner and Santiago our waiter!!!

    When we walked in, we were hit with stifling heat. Had to ask staff member to put A/C on. Very strange. We weren’t asked if we wanted a drink until appetizer order was taken. Again, unusual. Our server was very pleasant, but service was spotty. The busboy was the most efficient staff member. Food was great, but honestly don’t know if we would return.

    Food is consistently delicious. The 3 course price fix is a great deal - appetizers that you have a number to choose from as well as the main entrees. I had the double pork chop which was so moist and tasty, and for dessert you get 3 mini pastries. Highly recommend Eric’s- you won’t be disappointed!!

    We went to Eric's for the first time for Easter Dinner. The experience was wonderful. We were asked which area we wanted to sit in based on the knowledge of 2 large parties showing up in the main dining area. We chose the bar area as there was no one at the bar and the tables there were also mostly empty. They also turned the TV volume off so we could hear each other. I had the eggplant parmigiana which was one of the best I ever had. Salmon and Chicken Scarpello where also had by others at the table and they were also thought to be very good. the portions were generous and all the food arrive to the table hot. The apple strudel and chocolate delight were both generous and yummy. I would recommend Eric's to anyone.

    Spent a birthday dinner for a family of 4 on my recommendation. We were the 4 table seated, spaced apart and were more than comfortable. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly. Drink orders taken and were offered the right amount of time to browse the fruitful menu. A variety of bread was delivered as well as bruschetta, seasoned oil for dipping, the most creamy butter and sliced salami. 2 in the party ordered the Prix Fixe, which includes an appetizer, main course and dessert sampler. All choices were excellent. One had the pasta fagioli and another had the Caesar salad, with added anchovies. Both were plentiful, full of flavor, and fresh. Main courses were lasagna, pasta with vegetables in light white sauce, the massive pork chop with peppers and chicken piccata. We all were very satisfied with the generous portions and flavors. This meal was cooked with love! Dessert that’s included with the prix fixe offered berries with cream, cannoli, a slice of chocolate cake, cheesecake and a cookie wedge. They even offered a large slice of the most perfect cheesecake, for the 2 birthdays. Truly a fantastic meal with extremely personable staff who make great conversation. The gentlemen were very attentive to all. The music is of the proper level to listen and enjoy, as well as converse.

    Dinner at Eric’s was an amazing experience. Our server, Santiago, was amazing. Very accommodating and attentive the entire night. The food was delicious. Of note, the squid ink pasta with shrimp and linguini with clam was were the best I’ve had in quite awhile. I highly recommend Eric’s.
