    My wife and I shared a New York Strip steak, asparagus and the chocolate mousse. All were outstanding. The steak was crispy on the outside and required very little chewing, perfect. The asparagus was great and there was enough mousse for 6 people, so we took a lot of it home for later. The service was spot on given the high price point. No complaints from us about anything.

    It was fantastic, however, if you go during lunch, they do not sit you down stairs with a water level / river view. That would have been nice to know beforehand. Other than that, our lunch experience couldn’t have been better!

    Our recent visit to Erie Cafe was nothing short of spectacular. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for an enjoyable evening. We indulged in their Chicken Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo, both of which were absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly breaded and tender, while the Alfredo was creamy and flavorful. To complement our meal, we sipped on expertly crafted Negronis, which added just the right touch to our experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel right at home. Erie Cafe is definitely a gem in the city, and we can’t wait to return for another outstanding meal. Highly recommend!
