We went for lunch and ordered a rib eye steak sandwich and steak tacos. It was actual thick chunks of rib eye, not all shredded cooked to our liking. The staff was exceptional, all were very nice and started a small conversation. She saw our brochure of wineries in the area and told us the wineries she visited and marked on the brochure what she recommends. Another waitress saw our brochure and asked where we were from and wished us a nice trip. We were treated as individuals not a number. The food was excellent, service excellent and would recommend.
Really excited to try this restaurant. Really sorry we came here. The prime rib was so dry, we couldn't eat it. The salmon was ok, but not good enough to ever try again. The manager was apologetic and took it off our bill. We'll stop for fast food on our way home. Very disappointing.
Upon arrival, staff greeted us with a smile right away. Front had a nice flow & decor was interesting. We were seated in the rear of the dining room where you have a view of the kitchen, which is great. It's always a treat to see a chef doing their thing. Beverages to start were a margarita & soda. Margaritas was super flavorful, I ordered 2 more. The server brought bread & butter to the table. While my companion very much enjoyed it, it felt like it could be improved upon. Removing the cornmeal would be a great start. The flavor itself is like any other bread. A topping of craquelin would truly make it pop. The first order was a 7oz sirloin, medium rare with parm mash. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the texture was good but overly heavy thyme flavor that almost overtook the garlic. The mash was kind of loose & barely warm. It lacked on salt & would really benefit from truffle. The second order was a 7oz bacon wrapped filet mignon, medium rare. The steak was cooked to temp, but that's where the happiness ended. The bacon was rubbery & could have used a quick roll to crisp it a bit. The steak beneath was an odd shade of gray. For the first time ever, I cut into a filet that had fat, requiring dissection. Filet is known for being lean & melt in your mouth tender. This was not that. I had 3 bites with hope it would get better. Sadly, I did not eat the steak past those few bites. The French fries were delicious, I'm assuming they were ordered in, not freshly prepared daily. Still delicious. Our server was so friendly, the type of person you like to see smiling when they walk up to you & gave off a positive vibe. The singing though from staff, if you're going to sing, don't keep repeating the same part over & over, we would have liked to hear the rest of the song. We will return. One meal that isn't what one was expecting doesn't mean "DNR." Maybe it was an off day & the next items we try could truly blow our minds.
Lorie’s Wildridge Restaurant is a charming dining establishment nestled in the heart of nature, offering a unique culinary experience that celebrates local flavors and seasonal…
Came here because it seemed like “the best place in town”. Our large party was accommodated fairly quickly, which was nice. 4 adults and 8 kids. We had two servers and they were all sorts of confused. The food really wasn’t that great. The best thing about this place is the atmosphere. That’s about it. My husband loves burgers and he wasn’t a fan of his burger.
First time visiting, the food is quite good! I ordered the chicken quesadilla it was good, filled the plate!
This place checks all the boxes… -Manicured exterior landscaping -Warm rustic interior cabin feeling with a variety of well preserved taxidermy, almost like a “Bass Pro Shop” atmosphere -prompt welcome -vast menu to choose from -Friendly attentive staff Oh yeah…and most importantly delicious meals!! I’m not sure who Lorie is, but she can be proud of her staff for providing a very nice dining experience! The detail in the decor of the facility carries over to the detail of what comes out of the kitchen…job well done! This was a first time visit and we plan to return. I enjoyed the Monte Crisco breakfast sandwich w/ a side of hash browns mixed w/onions. My wife ordered the Fantasy French toast dipped in bread pudding topped off with fresh berries & cool whip. A glass dispenser of warm syrup was a nice added touch to our breakfast meal. Thank you Melissa for providing our table with great, friendly service! FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE!!!

Everything was so perfect We're kicking ourselves for not having tried out this place earlier, despite having heard so many good things! As we came in on a weekday night, we were seated right away (they do take reservations too). The inside is family friendly and cozy, with some nice jazzy type music playing. We started of with a delicious cup of creamy brussel sprout soup as recommended by our server. Then a salad with raspberry vinaigrette (they offer a good variety of other homemade salad dressings as well). The vegetables were fresh, and the provided bread was buttered and grilled well. We tried the Bistro Crab cakes, Ribeye, and Filet mignon, wish mashed potato, sautéed veggies and gnocchi for the sides. Everything was delicious and seasoned well. The star of the show was the Filet Mignon Au Poivre. It was one of the best filets we have ever had. The preparation in particular (cooked rare, as requested) was perfect. The meat was tender and flavorful. The generous amount of pepper cream sauce really complimented the dish. Our server, Michael, was very attentive, polite, and professional. We enjoyed our experience here, and will be back to try more dishes.
The food was quite good, service took awhile due to an almost full room, but that's understandable. We had a variety of seafood and vegetarian dishes, my vegetarian selections were very good, which included the Ravioli. Salads had fresh purple and greens, which was delicious. Chocolate cake and creme bulee rounded off thr desserts. The pricing, in my opinion, was higher than I thought it should be, particularly since the ambiance reminds me of a Bob Evans. However, the food and the service were just fine.
This is one of my favorite resturaunt in Erie. My husband and I have been coming here for years and we haven't ever had a bad meal or poor service. I love their food variety, they have some what original, more unique dishes while still offering traditional meals. I very much appreciate their portion size too. I always leave satisfied with left overs. I also really like that most meals start with a nice side salad, highly recommend the creole ranch and ceyene blue dressings! Service is consistently friendly and attentive. All around great restaurantk. Best bet is to ensure you make a reservation, as it is a small dinning room.

Exploring Erie, PA this weekend and I don't think you could ask for a better view of Lake Erie while dining than at the Shoreline Bar & Grille!!! We spent the day out and about and thought just eating at the hotel and winding down for the evening sounded like a good idea. It was The Strawberry Mint Mules were tasty and refreshing, the Chips and Salmon Dip were a good start, although personally I found the combination of potato chips and smoked salmon a bit too salty to indulge much. My Garden Salad was crisp and a nice sized portion for a side salad. My Grilled Cheese on sourdough hit the spot and the French Fries were nice & crispy, which made up for the disappointing home fries at different spot for breakfast. The fries were lightly seasoned, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and I definitely prefer them not seasoned so I can do it to taste at the table, but I enjoyed some and let Hubby finish the rest. His Clam Chowder was fantastic! I haven’t seen Chowder that thick since we were on The Cape, and it was filled with clams, smelled fresh, too! Oh and the bacon chunk garnish was a nice add. Good service, great view, decent food, a bit pricey but still worth it.
Great atmosphere, convenient location for hotel guests. This is a nice spot to grab a few drinks and an app, but consider somewhere else for a meal. The drinks are pricey, but the Key Lime Fizz I had was absolutely delicious. The clam chowder at $15 a bowl is highway robbery. It wasn't even close to being in the top of the chowders I've had. It had very little meat and no noticeable potatoes. The fish tacos seemed highly rated based on reviews. I upgraded $6 to upgrade to walleye. It was not worth it, small pieces, and they had bones in it. YUCK. The sauce was spicy and overpowering for my palate. The kids loved the pretzel bites, and their chicken tenders looked delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was very nice.
The restaurant is inside the Marriott hotel. We very much enjoyed having lunch outside on the patio by the water. Service was good. Quick service and friendly. Blackened salmon sandwich was more like a hot dog rather than a sandwich.

Today was my first time at The Boardroom, and my tastebuds have been blown away. The Happy Hour specials run Monday through Saturday with delicious options at the bar! We tried the cheese curds and won tons and which were bursting with flavor. Our drinks were prepared by Trey, and we couldn’t have enjoyed the layered notes of taste. Our dinners were beyond our expectations! My husband, who is gluten free, was awestruck by his shrimp Caesar salad which lightly grilled the romaine for a Smokey finish. I had the shrimp gnocchi filled with Asiago and Parmesan in a vodka sauce and roasted tomatoes. Trey recommended two scallops with this dish, and they topped it off! Goodness, it was absolutely exquisite. We will definitely be back!! I’ll be taking people to lunch and dinner at The Boardroom!
We love this gem. The food has never disappointed. The first time we came, my daughter ordered the buttered noodles, and we tried to talk her out of it because she normally eats regular food. I knew she would not like the plain buttered noodles. The staff heard us talking after she had her first bite and "had no seasoning." The chef came out to see how he could make it better for her. This is my daughter's favorite restaurant now, and we appreciate the effort they put into making the food special for everyone. Every visit we have been talked to be management or chef about how our meal was. I love the effort in making meals special. Keep up the great job!
One of the top three meals that I have had in Erie. Last night my husband and I tried out The Boardroom. I started with a Cucumber Refresher, which was amazing. For my entree, I had the Shrimp and Gnocchi. The gnocchis were cooked perfectly and the sauce was super good. The shrimp were so large and had a lot of flavor. The service was top-notch, and our server was so lovely, friendly, and attentive. I would go back for her service alone. Overall, wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

I usually have a good experience here but got a steak to go this time. It is embarrassing to see that piece of meat for $35. Sorry just another Erie clip joint. I will never eat here again. You can see my pictures on Google maps reviews. Take a look at what a $35 steak looks like at Syds. Shame on you. Never again.
Enjoyed a delightful dining experience at Syd's. Their appetizer, Party Shrimp, presented an array of delectable flavors. I selected the Fisherman's Platter, featuring a variety of seafood, while my companion preferred the Lake Erie Perch with fries. Syd's offered expertly mixed cocktails and decadent homemade desserts. The laid-back atmosphere contributed to a pleasurable evening.
Oh my god I never smelled or had steak that tasted like nothing it stunk and was very bland it smelled funny and the salad was for a toddler pretty small sweetest waistreat ever but she didn’t know anything about the food I was asking never in life again

We took a drive up to Erie from Pittsburgh and were looking for a dinner by the water, and this was a great choice. We sat out on the patio with a view of the bay, and Emily our waitress was great. I had the Blackened Salmon and my wife had the Cajun Blue Catfish, both of which were delicious (my wife said it was the best catfish she’d ever had). They had a nice whiskey selection and paid good attention to my Gluten sensitivity.
The atmosphere here was really nice and the staff was on top of everything. The food was excellent and the service was great.Had wonderful views of the bay to be able to enjoy a great dinner and propose to my girlfriend. Which she said yes!
My in-laws brought me here for my birthday and when I tell you this place was Amazing! Everyone was so nice. I must say the highlight of the night was when the young gentleman Rory came over to wish me an happy birthday! We will be back!

First time dining experience, immediately after walking in our waiter Tray warmly invited us in and made us feel like we were with a friend, such a warm friendly atmosphere. Food arrived just ten minutes after ordering while we enjoyed a drink from the bar and the most amazing garlic knots with fresh Parmesan. Chicken Alfredo was incredible and the HUGE portion of prime rib on a fresh bread open faced sandwich was heavenly! Such generous portions and very fair prices! Such a wonderful experience can’t wait to go back and spreading the positive word! Definitely a great place to eat for delicious authentic Italian food!
This was a fabulous meal! I read a lot of the reviews and was a bit concerned but everything was wonderful. Starting with our Server, Olivia. She was so friendly, quick and checked back. She brought fresh hot garlic knots out and they have fresh parm grated in the butter sauce. I asked for some red sauce to dip and just wow! I had to move them away because I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat my dinner. They were delectable! My Son had the chicken Alfredo and it was very good. I did find the sauce to be a bit too garlicky for my taste, but he enjoyed it. The pasta seemed like it was house made. Very fresh! The sauce is not runny as others describe. It is really the perfect consistency and thickens a bit as it cools. I had the ravioli grande. I highly recommend! The pasta seems homemade as well. The pasta itself is tender and filled to perfection with a truly pillowy , cheesy filling that pairs so well with the savory red sauce. A wee bit on the salty side. Truly delicious though! I was as suspected totally full after eating half of the meal. I’m looking forward to a wonderful lunch tomorrow. He had the chocolate cake for dessert which was also super large and have some to take home and I had the spumoni. All fabulous. I recommend this restaurant. Love that you can reserve on open table. They close at 6 on Sunday, so grab a reservation. Tons of easy parking!
Mi Scuzi just opened in this Millcreek Mall location, right next to JC Penney. The restaurant is very spacious and comfortable, offering inside as well as outside seating. Server Ava was very knowledgeable about my need for gluten-free food. She was able to offer me plenty of options. The menu itself is not marked GF, however, Chef Michael did come out and reassured me he would prepare what I wanted to meet my dietary restrictions. The fig salad with fennel and feta was fresh and delicious! Entrée was a chicken, artichoke , mozzarella pizza, which was absolutely delicious! Dessert was a very rich, amazing GF chocolate cake!
Welcome to Pittsburgh Inn, your premier destination for comfort and convenience in the heart of the Steel City. Nestled within easy reach of Pittsburgh’s vibrant downtown,…
The seafood alfredo seemed good. Very rich but still a good flavor. My wife got the fried seafood dinner and she said it was "decent but nothing special". I got the blackened prime rib because that's the special on Saturday Nights. Now I wanted medium rare and it was a medium rare cook but the prime rib roast was not great quality or was held over from the night before. Prime rib should be very tender and not the same consistency as a sirloin and that seems to be what you get anymore when you go out anywhere.
Lovely little homemade restaurant. Very family restaurant vibe. Walls littered with cool old stories or interesting things. Love the old Almost cobblestone house feel. Wood floors. Brick walls. Good beer special, dinner was good for price $14-$15 for our eggplant and pasta dinner and same price ($14) my chopped sirloin dinner with mashed potatoes and salad. Overall expected a real steak cut, not a Salisbury style steak,… and the eggplant was decent,… I’m Italian and know quality fried eggplant more than most. But overall still 5 stars because the servers did awesome. Constantly checked on us. Various servers made rounds. Very polite. Also respect the conservative vibe with honoring military and other things.
Many years ago I lived in the apartment that is over top the Pittsburgh Inn. I ate at the restaurant often. My mother and step-father even worked there. I recently had the opportunity to go there while visiting as part of a road trip. I wanted the spaghetti and meatballs as I remembered it to be oh so good way back in the day. It did NOT disappoint. It is still every bit as awesome as I remembered it.

We just ate here and had a wonderful experience thanks to our kind waitress (I forgot her name SORRY) The food was so good and homemade! We had the huge pretzel, fried pepperoni balls they were delicious. I tried the orange chicken stir fry wow that was incredible. We all shared meals as a group. Everything was so delicious, fresh, and homemade!
We stopped by for a late lunch and the food was great! Generous portions, lots of options, and delicious! I ordered the Reuben and thought it was odd that they put the thousand island dressing on the side and there was probably twice as much sauerkraut than my liking, but it was yummy! We had one server first greet us then another one take over after that. Neither were very friendly or talkative. We wanted to ask some questions about the menu and there was really no opportunity to because the server just walked away quickly.
I only get here about 4 times a year, and the Big BLT deal is my go-to every time. It sounds simple, but they make it perfectly and includes 8pc. Of bacon and tots! It's hard to beat simple perfection.

The staff is amazing. The place was welcoming and warm. We did not have meals as we were just there to have a drink and dessert for birthdays, but what we did have was AMAZING! I'm not sure if the sweet potato cheesecake is seasonal, but get there and try it before it's gone! We had three desserts, and all were spectacular, but the best was the cheesecake! FYI, they validate parking if you use the pay parking lot!
Oliver's Rooftop: A Waterfront Dining Gem Oliver's Rooftop is a delightful blend of stunning waterfront views, top-notch cuisine, and impeccable service. The moment you step onto the rooftop, you're greeted by a breathtaking panorama of the water, creating a truly magical ambiance. The star of the show is undoubtedly the food. The walleye fish is a must-try. It's cooked to perfection, light, flaky, and bursting with flavor. Even the walleye sandwich, which I enjoyed during my second visit, was equally impressive. The generous portions will leave you satisfied and wanting more. If you're looking for a romantic date night spot, Oliver's Rooftop is the perfect choice. The combination of delicious food, stunning views, and attentive service creates an unforgettable dining experience. Oh and got to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday which he was surprised with a beautiful birthday dessert.
I had a great time here. The starter (Don't Give Up the Shrimp and Lobster deviled eggs) and food (Cowboy Steak) were top notch. I enjoyed the drinks also. I recommend the Chunky Monkey. The price might be a bit above average but it's still decent $$$. The waitress (Lauren) was very courteous and professional, and she helped validate my parking too.
Firestone’s Kitchen is a vibrant culinary destination dedicated to delivering an exceptional dining experience through a fusion of innovative flavors and classic technique…
What a cool place! It’s an open kitchen restaurant nestled between a butcher’s shop and a craft brews store. It was hopping when we arrived and we were lucky to snag the last table on a Thursday evening, so looks like reservations are a good idea. It was super loud, so dinner conversation was challenging but a great excuse to sit closer together. There’s a limited regular menu plus a page of specials available. We enjoyed their smash burger, which we were told was the most popular item. The truffle fries were good; the regular fries were super salty. Fried spicy Nashville chicken sandwich was very good. All meals were served with a deli side; today’s was a cold noodle dish that had a kick. The pizzas done in their wood fired oven looked great and were highly recommended by our server. Staff were super friendly. Check out the cool public washroom- the signs in the ladies’ room is worth a chuckle! Recommend checking out this place!
So this was our first visit to Firestone's Kitchen. We stumbled upon while checking Gondon Butcher and Market, which has an open concept shared vibe with Firestone' Kitchen. We tried the Pizza and absolutely loved it. It was a simple lunch that we opted for of Pizza, Fries and drinks but needed to share our experience. The server was cheerful and helpful. The overall vibe, service, and food calls for another visit. ❤️
First time here. Everything was delicious. I got pepperoni pizza hubby got fried chicken spicy sandwich, which was amazing too. We shared. Melissa was our waitress and took our picture. She suggested taking it at the wine room, great suggestion!!!! A must stop at for everyone.

Highly recommend Picasso’s for scrumptious sandwiches! We found this gem at the beginning of our vacation and it was so good that we planned to stop on our way back home. I had the Mona Lisa and it was everything I like on one sandwich! Service is great - we were greeted and explained the menu on our first visit. You’re given a beeper and can find a seat while they prepare your order. Bonus is that they have GF bread if you are allergic to gluten. Local soda brand. Outdoor patio available. Fun chalkboard painter’s palette tables with chalk inside.
We really enjoyed our meal here. Every sandwich was unique and we split several whole ones so people could try more than one. My son and I agreed The Scream was the one we liked the best. Definitely worth a stop to enjoy their food. Looks like they have an outdoor patio for summer too that would be nice. The local sodas in the fountain drink dispenser were yummy too.
Dropped in after a quick search for places to eat(I was passing through from Buffalo to Cleveland). Walked in and was given some recommendations from the host as I was unfamiliar with the sandwiches. Ended up ordering the Mona Lisa and tater tots with a fountain drink. I opted for the Mona Lisa because I felt like some of the others could be a bit too heavy. No joke, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite a long while. Despite the unusual combination of ingredients (artichoke hearts, baby spinach, creamy pesto, etc), this thing was an explosion of flavor. The artichoke hearts really cut through the richness of the havarti and creamy pesto. The bread was perfectly toasted, buttery with a satisfying crust without being dry. The tater tots were also a big surprise. They were more like mini potato croquettes. Golden brown, crispy exterior, but soft and pillowy on the inside, with just enough texture to remind you it's a tot and not mashed potato. I can't remember the Time I've enjoyed tater tots so much. The fountain drink was fine. Syd's is the local brewer and I tasted the root beer and cream soda. Both were good and had a richness of flavor usually lacking from generic store brands. I'm no pop connoisseur so I don't have anything to add other than I enjoyed drinking what I did, I don't otherwise drink a lot of sodas. The only regret is that I was merely passing through and as someone who lives more than 2000 miles away, I regret that I won't have any real opportunities to visit in the future.

Came to the establishment for a 21st birthday. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Tyler was a top notch server and dealt really well with our craziness. Haylee helped out when needed and she was excellent and very personable and made our experience even better!! Thank you both for making this a great experience for our friends birthday!
My fiance wanted ribs and is pretty picky, he got the full rack of ribs and they were huge! They fell off the bone and he said he would go back and get them again. I got the 12 oz ribeye medium rare, it was over cooked but they were pretty busy so it wasn't a huge deal to me it was still good. We both got loaded baked potatoes and they were also good. Our server was Ashley, she was awesome!
Bought medium rare take out but it was medium well done. The steak was a bit dry and tough like I’m eating beef jerky. One side is cooked almost burnt like while the other side looks okay. Was it worth $37? I do not think so. Would I come back for steak? Probably not.

This was an excellent dining experience. Food was fantastic and our server, Scott F, was outstanding. He is one of the best servers I have met in Erie, PA.
I’ve been a world wide touring musician and especially while touring with the band Evanescence I’ve eaten in a lot of high class restaurants all over the world - my expectations for Erie in PA weren’t too high tbh but the spicy shrimp pasta I ordered has been one of the BEST pasta dishes I’ve eaten. I am a chef myself and the incredible flavor of zesty orange peel in combination with the garlic and chili oil was truly amazing!!! We also ordered the Cesar salad to share and the dressing has also been one of the best I ever tasted! Our server Jennifer took care of us in the most friendliest and nicest ways! Usually I am not a sweet tooth, but even the desert was overwhelmingly incredible! Ricky was the chef that night and responsible for the amazing tastebud experience - all in all - one of the best dinners I’ve had with a beautiful atmosphere looking over the Erie lake. Well done guys and a huge thumbs up from my end - this restaurant is my number one recommendation of places to eat when in Erie Pennsylvania.
The food was really good! The desserts were delicious. I wish we had a better view of the waterfront. It is a little pricey, but we were on a mini vacation, so it was a perfect time to treat ourselves. We would definitely go back when in the area. We parked in a nearby parking garage.

We had an excellent meal by any and all standards. Solid 5 stars for food and service. The atmosphere decor is modern and upscale. But as many other reviewers noted, the noise level is high. I measured 100 Db, same as a motorcycle. But it was clear the Management had taken steps to deadening noise. Carpets, sound baffles on the ceiling, fabric wall covering. But it was still so loud that conversation was difficult and I couldn't make out what the server said. We had reservations and were immediately seated. It took a moment for the server to come but when she did she was friendly and professional. The menu was relatively small but contained a lot of detail. Prices were high, $35-45 for most entrees. We selected a variety of items, jambalaya, scallops, burgers. Having a Kids Menu was a nice touch. We had two young people 10 & 6with us and they were comfortable and welcomed. The touch screen devices to keep kids occupied were a great idea. The food came in short order and at first glance the portion seemed small. But the dishes were deep and the portion was very good. My jambalaya was excellent. Flavorful with lots of chicken, sausage and shrimp. The scallops got rave reviews. We didn't see much of the servers. No refills, bread or dinner rolls offered. One detail that I really liked was the heavy, substantial flatware. No hollow pressed junk. This was substantial which added gravitas to the meal. We really enjoyed the meal. And given the tab, that is a good thing. I would jump at the opportunity to go back to The Cork as long as I can convince someone else to pickup the tab.
Came here for our anniversary after wanting to try it for some time. We were very pleased. If you eat here and don’t get the crab bisque, why have you even come?!? This bisque was so good that even though the rest of the meal was delicious, everything else was just ok in comparison. That said, the rest of the meal was very good! We had the fried cauliflower appetizer, highly recommend. I had the Asian salmon which I also highly recommend. Also, because we were celebrating our anniversary they gave us a free dessert. We chose the cheesecake with chocolate sauce. It was good, its crust was amazing. Staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was awesome. Super nice chairs in the center of the restaurant.
#flavafulltv approved experience for #vegetarian food. The best restaurant in Erie, PA for service, atmosphere and cocktails. Vegetarian side dishes. Usually only 1 seasonal vegetarian entree. Consistently, the service at the bar is welcoming, friendly and equal- no matter what race or income level that you are. Maggie was a standout bartender/server. Food prices are elevated. Yet, the $8-10 happy hour can offset the $25-60 entrees and $14 drinks. If they make a mistake or you're unsatisfied- they fix it with no attitude! This sets them apart. Pro tip: earn/redeem points for every transaction. Not common to earn points at an establishment with this price point. Very clean!! The bartenders sanitize the barback area and I've never had a dirty glass or utensil. The menu rotates seasonally. Select bartenders are actually mixologists, so no "juice and liquor stirred in a glass-" they pride themselves on tailoring your drink. The music ranges from 90s hip hop/pop, 70s r&B, neo soul, straight jazz, to light rock/country. Read the books and magazines in the front. A well balanced astmopshere of watching sports, communing with coworkers or dining for a date.
Smugglers’ Wharf is a vibrant and dynamic waterfront destination that offers a unique blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences. Nestled along a picturesque…
I recently dined at Smugglers Wharf and, unfortunately, the only redeeming qualities of the restaurant are its view and location. Beyond that, I’m baffled as to how this place remains open, much less how it averages decent reviews. We started with the Seafood Dip, which was more like a runny soup than a dip. While it had some flavor, it was so watery that we had to rely on the bread to make it somewhat edible. The coconut shrimp was excessively sweet, reminiscent of funnel cake batter, and the fried fish had a greasy, thick breading with no flavor, resembling croissants more than anything else. Even the French fries were poorly cooked, burnt, and unseasoned. The salad was just iceberg lettuce, offering the nutritional value of ice. The only thing that we actually ate was the “soup” and bread. We literally couldn’t stomach the rest. Service was equally disappointing. It took 15 minutes for a waiter to greet us and take our drink orders. The interior of the restaurant feels outdated and gives off a dingy, dirty vibe & the food itself is extremely overpriced. Overall, the dining experience was far from pleasant, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re there solely for the view.
This place has a great lake front feel. The server was friendly and attentive. The food is good. I had the tempura perch. I prefer breading but this was ok. It got mussy by the second piece. The tarter sauce was tangy and creamy. and The homemade potato salad was good. Ice tea was a black tea and great. Had pecan pie for dessert. This was really tasty. It was not as sweet as most with a little bit of liquor flavor. The only real complaint is that the bathrooms are small. And its really not a service or atmosphere issue they would have to remodel to correct it . So as a fault it's a hard one to really address.
Food was okay but definitely overpriced for the quality. The shrimp was well cooked and the sauce was a great pairing. The seafood and artichoke dip was good but hard to eat with the bread it came with as it couldn’t hold up to the weight of the dip. Service - felt like every employee was bored and inconvenienced to be there. Chose here for the location and proximity to the water but at that pricing you can go to any other restaurant in walking distance and find higher quality food at comparable prices.

The view was great, and my wife's grilled Mahi Mahi was good. But the coconut shrimp were lukewarm, and my walley was extremely bland. The best part about the walley meal was the coleslaw. Not sure I'd come back.
A beautiful and open restaurant near the water of a small city. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed the open undercover seating. A beautiful view of the water went well with our fresh seafood meals. The food was delicious and the drinks were too. Definitely a must if you find yourself in Erie.
This restaurant is super cute with an outdoor patio! The food was amazing and the service was great!

Exploring Erie, PA this weekend and I don't think you could ask for a better view of Lake Erie while dining than at the Shoreline Bar & Grille!!! We spent the day out and about and thought just eating at the hotel and winding down for the evening sounded like a good idea. It was The Strawberry Mint Mules were tasty and refreshing, the Chips and Salmon Dip were a good start, although personally I found the combination of potato chips and smoked salmon a bit too salty to indulge much. My Garden Salad was crisp and a nice sized portion for a side salad. My Grilled Cheese on sourdough hit the spot and the French Fries were nice & crispy, which made up for the disappointing home fries at different spot for breakfast. The fries were lightly seasoned, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and I definitely prefer them not seasoned so I can do it to taste at the table, but I enjoyed some and let Hubby finish the rest. His Clam Chowder was fantastic! I haven’t seen Chowder that thick since we were on The Cape, and it was filled with clams, smelled fresh, too! Oh and the bacon chunk garnish was a nice add. Good service, great view, decent food, a bit pricey but still worth it.
The restaurant is inside the Marriott hotel. We very much enjoyed having lunch outside on the patio by the water. Service was good. Quick service and friendly. Blackened salmon sandwich was more like a hot dog rather than a sandwich.
Great atmosphere, convenient location for hotel guests. This is a nice spot to grab a few drinks and an app, but consider somewhere else for a meal. The drinks are pricey, but the Key Lime Fizz I had was absolutely delicious. The clam chowder at $15 a bowl is highway robbery. It wasn't even close to being in the top of the chowders I've had. It had very little meat and no noticeable potatoes. The fish tacos seemed highly rated based on reviews. I upgraded $6 to upgrade to walleye. It was not worth it, small pieces, and they had bones in it. YUCK. The sauce was spicy and overpowering for my palate. The kids loved the pretzel bites, and their chicken tenders looked delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was very nice.
