    We expected a little more from Rick Erwin ‘s Meatballs were cold and service was slow to note the deficits, but salmon was very good and they gave us a free piece of cake to make up for it.

    Amazing meal, the attention to detail was unmatched. I have an allergy, and the staff provided options for most of the menu! Shannon was energetic! She created a dining experience that we will definitely come back for!! Thank you for a wonderful date night!

    Great experience at Rick Erwin’s Eastside. The whole staff was amazing, from the hostess Lilly who promptly welcomed and sat us, to our amazing server Miss Shannon, and our server’s assistant Hayden! Chef Anthony kindly visited our table and told us about a new twist he was doing with the deviled eggs… turned out to be a big hit with the table, the eggs were phenomenal! The steaks and sides were amazing as well. The manager Christina is running a great restaurant! 10/10 recommend, we will be back!

    Absolutely amazing dinner!! Took the recommendation of our server and enjoyed the empanadas as an appetizer. Ashton was our server and she was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely return.

    Rick EE always delivers—great food, great cocktails, great service. Two items, however, were a bit of a disappointment this time: oysters Rockefeller were more like oyster stew with a bit of spinach on top, disappointing, and the new bread service iteration disappoints, sweet corn bread and a gummy biscuit not exactly steak accompaniments. Please bring back the old delicious dinner bread. Otherwise, good Caesar, great filet, wonderful potato gratin. And the bar knows how to prep a cocktail.

    We have dined here before, but not in a while. Our past experiences were excellent, but this one was, unfortunately disappointing. We started with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese - a great choice and a fine start to the meal! My wife had the surf and turf - the steak was done perfectly and she commented on how much she enjoyed it. The crab cake, however, was mostly filler and mediocre at best. I ordered the pan-seared scallops with risotto. There were 3 medium-sized scallops; one was over done/chewy, and the risotto was tasteless. The creme brûlée dessert, like the rest of the meal, came with a beautiful presentation, but was sadly a tad lumpy. My wife said her cocktail was quite nice. I ordered wine by the glass from a very limited menu - I don't drink cab anymore, and the Malbec was bad enough that I did not finish it. I went to a sauvignon blanc, which was okay. Our bill - with tip - came to about $100/person. I have no problem with paying, and expect to pay, premium prices for a premium meal. This, sadly, was not it. It is doubtful we will return unless we plan to eat steak... just steak.

    My husband and I ate here for our anniversary dinner and it was an amazing experience. Our server Shannon was a delight and made sure we had the best possible experience. The food was delicious, the service was top tier, and we received an anniversary card from the staff which was very special!

    Changes to menu since last visit but not necessarily for the better. Bread selection not ideal for this type establishment.
