   After a long day at an offsite, my work team wrapped up the evening with dinner at Erie Cafe—and it was the perfect choice. The classic Chicago steakhouse ambiance set the tone for a relaxed yet professional gathering, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The menu offered exactly what we needed: generous portions of high-quality cuts and a great selection of sides. We enjoyed expertly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and traditional favorites like their signature garlic mashed potatoes. The meal was complemented by a well-curated wine list that kept the conversation flowing. From start to finish, Erie Cafe delivered on both atmosphere and quality, making it an ideal spot for a team dinner. Whether for business or a special occasion, this is a place that knows how to do hospitality right.

   Granted it was Mother’s Day but it was chaos! Service was erratic, food was lousy, and it’s expensive! Grilled calamari was burnt, chicken was bland and carrot cake was dry. Once we finally got a server, he was friendly and did his best.

   Loved the food - especially the walleye fish special. Service was amazing & the atmosphere felt like a warm hug. Will make this one of our regular spots for sure!
