⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scott was amazing! The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the Fresh Mozzarella & Tomato, Traditional Caesar Salad, Grandma’s Lasagna, and Chicken Parm—everything was perfect. The restaurant looked beautiful, decorated with hearts everywhere for Valentine’s Day, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Never left a review before but had to on this place. Waited 40 mins after being seated to have a drink order taken, didn’t get water/bread after 20 minutes to point we had to ask for it. I understood restaurants are under a lot of pressure especially on Friday nights I completely get that but to not even be acknowledged with “Hey I see you I will be with asap” that would have been fine. Instead nothing. Food was good but service will make me never go back.

Valentine's Day meal - I started with a sweetheart cosmo (raspberry). We had a large choice of starters and entrees - salad, soup, clams, lobster ravioli, etc; fish, chicken, pasta, steak. Dessert sampler at the end. I asked to taste the cabernet and decided I liked it so ordered that. The bartender helped me choose. The restaurant is decorated with hearts, bows, and lots of red. It became quite busy but the service was well done and the food was delicious. On the way out, I was given a rose and there was a bowl of Lindt's chocolates to choose. Eric's is family owned and everyone does their best and we always feel welcomed and enjoy the meal.

The food incredible but our server Santiago was even better. He was attentive and caring. He went above and beyond to recognize my wife’s birthday. This is the second time and both times were excellent.

Our waiter, Santiago was polite, knowledgeable and attentive. We selected from both the price -fixe and Restaurant Week menus. The selections from both menus were abundant. The food was served hot and presented attractively. All of our dishes were tasty and delicious. It was a good value for the money. The zepoles that we ordered for dessert were amazing! We’ll be regulars at this restaurant.

Fabulous everything! I’ve researched many restaurants for Chicken Piccata. Not many offer this dish and Eric’s did. So off we went during Restaurant Week. The chicken was not on the special menu but the standard menu. The portion was large with 3 pieces of the most delectable chicken, lightly creamy lemon sauce with capers and artichoke hearts and an ample portion of linguine. The chicken was expertly cooked. So tender that I cut it with my fork. Every taste was more delicious than the last. I could have easily finished it as I didn’t get an appetizer, but I took some home to have it again tomorrow. There were ten people in total in the dining room, the music choices were perfect and we were able to converse and not really hear anyone else over talking us. The service was spot on and the waitress and server were equally attentive and personable. It was a marvelous dining experience and we will most definitely be back for dine in and take out. Bravo!
