I came here last year with my family and my aunt and her kids for dinner after a visit to Splash…read moreLagoon and it was lights out fantastic. We got a smorgasbord of stuff (of which items I can't even recall right now, but at least one entree salad and drinks), all of which was excellent. Even our picky daughter enjoyed herself. Solid 5 stars! Today, on my way through town on a work trip, I figured I'd stop in to replicate the magic. I opted for the short rib grilled cheese and subbed out the fries for the side of Brussels sprouts. After ordering, the food was out in about 10 minutes flat. Not a reassuring sign out of the gate... The grilled cheese was supposed to have caramelized onions. Now, I'm NOT a raw onion fan, but I can generally tolerate caramelized or fried onion strings on stuff. As you can see in the photo, the onions are NOWHERE near the color they should be to be caramelized. Sauteed? Sure, but they still had a good amount of crunch to them so not even that deeply cooked. Most of the onion leaves were still connected at the root. Also (and fortunately for me and my onion-loving self), the other half had maybe 2 very tiny pieces of onion. The short rib was done quite well and very tender but came in large chunks instead of being evenly distributed throughout the sandwich. There were also a couple rather large pieces of fat in them that was just too much to try and chew through that I had to spit out. The server was very upbeat and kind though and the inside of the place is amazing. Such a cool vibe. Overall, that's one amazing experience and one less than stellar. Being a mid-week lunch, I'm going to assume the A team wasn't on staff so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I'll definitely come back for dinner another time for sure but I might look elsewhere for my lunch...

Had an amazing dinner at Shoreline Bar & Grille. I went with their Blackened Walleye sandwich…read more... It was perfect. Buttery toasted bun. Fish was perfectly cooked. Caper tartar sauce was great. 10/10, probably my favorite thing I ate this weekend while visiting Erie. Also tried the Shrimp & Crab Roll. This was great. Served cold. Good option as well. Overall, great time here. Service was great. Food was amazing. Beer was cold.

Gave it a second chance, and it was much better this time! The fish tacos (mahi mahi fish) were…read morereally good, and the fries were seasoned perfectly. For apps, we tried the guacamole, which was refreshing, but the portion could be larger--it wasn't enough for the amount of chips. There were three of us, and we had to order two servings, and still had chips leftover. Honestly, it's not my number one choice, but it's a decent option for a casual weeknight dinner or apps. Service was impeccable.

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.

I had the seafood trio: scallops, lobster tail, & crab stuffed shrimp. It was accompanied by basmati rice, carrots, & asparagus. I wish when I cook my basmati rice turned out that perfect.
