    The table where we were seated was next to the opening to the kitchen, etc. there was a constant flow of personnel in and out and the “view” was unappealing. This was especially disappointing since we made our reservations early on and there appeared to be tables for four available. The food was great and our waitress was friendly and attentive. But the table location made the overall experience disappointing.

    As always, a meal at Rick Erwin's is fabulous. We had the 3 course meal, which is a great price, and the portions are perfect for us. Everything about our dinner was perfect! It is impressive that Mr. Erwin comes to each table and speaks to the guests to ensure everything was to their expectations. That is class!

    I wasn’t thrilled with the location of our table. I think it was under a speaker, thus the music was a little loud. I didn’t care for my entree, but my husband loved his soup and salad. The bread was amazing and so was the complimentary dessert (birthday). Our server was outstanding! I will go back and try another entree.

    Disappointed they didn't have Prime Rib. Rib eye steak tender & tastey but had too much salt in seasoning. Baked potato had way too much salt in seasoning. Service very good. Prices very high, but that's probably true of all steak houses.

We were in town celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary and we were extremely pleased with our choice of your restaurant and we loved Robert and everyone who assisted him in making sure we were treated with the upmost respect. We will definitely be dining there again. Myron and Alice

    We had been to the Erwin's in downtown Greenville, which is difficult for us to get to. Eastside was a mile-and-a-half away, so we decided to chance it. It was consistent with the downtown location. My wife had been longing for the crab cakes, stuffed with meat and the she-crab soup, two of their best dishes. I went for the fried chicken. I'm a fried-chicken snob, and it's hard to get me to admit that any restaurant's fried chicken is better than mine. This was quite good, with an interesting dipping sauce, but not quite what I, a resident of New Orleans for 26 years and the son-in-law of Ms. Josephine Mettelka, want in fried chicken. The frying itself was magnificent (as were the onion rings I had as an extra side), with the breast meat especially moist. But I wanted more seasoning in the meat itself (I marinate mine in spices and herbs overnight). Still, the dipping sauce made up for a lot. My other sides were roasted cauliflower and mac and cheese. Nothing in the world will induce me to eat cauliflower, so

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary last night at Rick Erwin’s Eastside. From the moment we walked in the door to when we left - everything and everyone was perfect. We go their 4-6 times a year and the team there consistently deliver great ambiance, service and food! My husband loves their Smoked Brown Butter Old Fashioned and I had a yummy pear martini. We both had a filet which was perfectly cooked along with delicious fried oysters. We also enjoyed the Mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts as our sides. Dessert was Pecan Carrot Cake and Pumpkin Cheesecake! I highly recommend Rick Erwin’s Eastside!!

    We were there celebrating my fiancés birthday. The hostess mentioned his birthday when we were seated and presented him with a card from the staff. Great touch!!! Our waitress, Kayla was phenomenal. Not only was she professional, intelligent, and provided us with great options but she was personable and warm. She made us feel welcomed and before long we were sisters. Now the food! Oh my goodness. I’ve been to several upscale restaurants but this is probably my 2nd favorite under the The Optimist here in Atlanta. The food was phenomenal; from the bread, to the appetizers and the main course. Exceptional!!!! If you’re ever in Greenville, be sure to stop by and ask for Kayla. Tell her Daphne sent you!!!

    Loved the service from the minute we walked in and were greeted and seated and it continued to our waitress Kayla who was just awesome. She made us feel right at home and with family. We loved the NY artwork and the music, Frank Sinatra. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they presented him with a card signed by the staff. We ordered the Atlantic salmon, the Bouillabaisse and the surf and turf. It was all absolutely delicious!! Loved everything about it. Would have had dessert but it was so much food we couldn't eat another bite. We had an amazing time, thanks Kayla for the wonderful service and Rick Erwin's for it all!!

    This was a second time at this location and would have to say the food quality was much better our first experience. The calamari appetizer was overcooked/rubbery and the breading was falling off. Our steak entrees while cooked perfectly to internal temps, they were overly charred on the outside which left a bitter charcoal type taste. My lobster tail was "missed" to cook by the staff, but they did remove the cost off my bill for their error. However, they must have rushed trying to get me a lobster tail out and then it ended up being overcooked as well. The tail was charcoal black which already gave signs of being overcooked, and of course as suspected it was rubbery and I could barely cut with a steak knife. Their side dishes, drinks, desserts, and service were phenomenal. The main reason for not giving any worse of a rating was due to the overall experience & staff ensuring we were compensated for the food experience and ensuring we were satisfied. We know mistakes happen at every restaurant and since we had a great experience previously, we won't let this keep us from trying again. They way the staff & management positively reacted to some of the bad issues we had mentioned is a great reason why we will be back again.

    The food was fantastic (if a bit over-priced) and service was phenomenal at the start of our meal. However, as more guests arrived, we seemed to have been forgotten about. It took aver 20 minutes to get our dessert making us nearly late for the play we were attending. The meal took over 1.5 hours for just two people.

    This restaurant never ever disappoints! I have spent many a business dinner here. as they are located right by my client's offices. The service is always outstanding! I typically order the filet, and it is done to perfection - with several topping options if you want them. Side items and other mains are delicious! The wine list is amazing!
