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!

We were immediately greeted by the hostess who saw that it was our Anniversary. She took us to a perfect table on the patio with a beautiful view. She presented us with a nice Anniversary card signed by the staff. We started with the smoked trout bruschetta which was excellent. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin and I the beef burger. Both were very good. We ended with a complimentary cheesecake du jour which was so nice. During our time there, there was a wonderful jazz player providing tunes which further enhanced our experience.

Rick Erwins is one of my favorite restaurants. The service this time was not up to the level I have had in the past. Hopefully, I will see improvement when I eat there again. This one-time slip on service will not keep me away. The food is always excellent.
