We love A Fransico's and I've given it a 5 star review on Google. We went here on Saturday…read morespecifically for Virgil's pizza. They had Gary, the owner of Virgil's, making his pizza and I was very much looking forward to having it again. He had my favorite pizza and I missed having it. So when I heard he was making his pizza again, I booked a reservation. Now, for the record, A. Francisco's is my new favorite pizza, Colin is a pizza genius. But I missed Virgil's, so I ordered my go to pepperoni pizza. I was pretty disappointed. As soon as they put the pizza down, I knew it was different. It didn't look like I knew Virgils to look like. The crust was different. The pepperoni was different... it wasn't Virgil's. I've eaten hundreds of squares. I would get 6 squares and eat them for lunch and want more...this time I ate two... just to be polite. The biggest difference was the dough. It didn't look like Virgil's and it didn't taste close to what Virgil's tasted like. My wife had the house made spaghetti with shrimp and it was very good. The buratta balls were excellent. Those were from A. Francisco's menu and we always have excellent food from here. But for someone who loved Virgil's, this was NOT the Virgil's that I remember and loved. I don't know what happened to his dough, but tonight I'm going to A. Francisco's for my new favorite pizza made by Colin. I'm not a fan of their pepperoni, so I go sausage and arugula. If they ever get the old world pepperoni that curls up, I'll go back to my go to.

Hubs and I came here on a Monday evening. Spots like this are needed in Erie. We don't live here,…read morebut something other than Oliver's was finally nice to try. We started with "the 33" and "Black Widow", but I swapped the tequila for mezcal and that was a good choice! The 33 was absolutely delicious...but they did run out of Penelope for the day. So, a second drink unfortunately didn't happen. We put our order in for food about 10 minutes after getting there. No joke, the food arrived almost an HOUR later. We had to ask the bartender what was up; there was no proactive alert as to when the food was arriving. That was off-putting. The food was very good. It's hard to get a pork chop right and they managed to achieve it. The sides were also delicious. My husband's steak was very good and the spicy crema that they put on top was a nice touch. The wait time for the food was unacceptable, honestly. Something should have been comped, but the bartender was too busy to notice. No water refill for close to 30-40 minutes either. We would return but definitely on a different day, when they maybe have more employees working in the kitchen. Or maybe just skip food altogether. *shrug*

Although the place did not appear that crowded our server said the bar was backed up and that's why our drinks took a while and the kitchen was backed up and that's why our food and dessert took a while. Fortunately, they were worth the wait. Unfortunately, they were out of a lot of things. There was no Luxardo cherry for my husband's old-fashioned and there was no St. Germaine for a Hugo spritz. The crab hush puppies were delicious! I highly recommend them. My husband enjoyed the fish and chips and I enjoyed the crab and shrimp roll. My husband ordered the Bourbon Butter cake, but they were out of candied pecans and they didn't tell us, it just came with no pecans. When we asked the server she said "It's summer. I guess we're out of a lot of things."

We've been here before for the Mother's Day buffet but hadn't ordered off the menu before. I have to say that the meal was totally unremarkable. I had a hard time justifying the expense when we got the bill. I had the Shrimp and Risotto was totally nonplused by the serving size and over all taste. The Few Shrimp that were the star of the meal were so tough that they ruined the meal. I'm assuming they were over cooked as they were not just tough but bland as well.The Risotto was very bland as well, so stroke two! Bertrand served way better before at his Perry Square location. The best part of our Cloud 9 meals were the easy ramp parking. I remembered taking a Nexium when we got home so that my stomach would stop being upset. Never again!

Driving through Erie again, looking forward to another great breakfast, but alas, the sign on the door said " closed due to technical difficulties, see you tomorrow." So sad.

They always have amazing specials that I usually go for, can never go wrong with one of their steaks. The caesar salad and cornbread biscuits are a great start.

Pineapple Eddie Southern Bistro…read more GOOD - solid southern-style food, friendly service, fun and warm atmosphere BAD - Not much, the service on the slow side and prices are a bit high for the type of food. Neither of these hurt the review because though slow, service was very friendly and I would just cut out the app if I want a better price. PE was an enjoyable experience. It's nestled right in every day suburbia which made it fun - the local place. The fried chicken and waffles was very good and portions are fair. My server allowed me to sub mashed potatoes instead of the day's veggie, which I appreciated. I was excited to try "blueberry glazed" wings which, major bummer, we're seasonal. I got the sweet-hot. The wings were tasty but a little sog - slightly longer fry and good to go. I recommend Pineapple Eddie and I'll be adding it to my Erie rotation when I visit again

6/22/25 Ate List:…read moreChicken Cordon Bleu Wrap - 7.4 Grew up in Erie and I feel like this spot is a like "not so hidden" underdog sort of gem. Whenever I've been here, it's never packed. But each time when im leaving we say, "yeah that was the right move." It's a little further from the Bayfront but it's a lot better than some of the options that are closer. The vibe here is great. So glad that this place has withstood so much turnover nearby. Food is consistently great. Lunch, dinner, even brunch is SOLID. This time, I did the Chicken Cordon Bleu Wrap with tots. Could've just been a silly assumption, did not expect the wrap to be toasted. Now this was on a 100 degree day, so wouldve personally preferred it to be cold this day but all good. Tots are dependable and great too. Wish I received a larger potion though. Was kind of surprise it wasn't like filling the plate and was more a scattered handful. Love this spot though. Great experience, great staff, will absolutely stop back in.

We usually enjoy stopping at Calamari's when we're in town, and their Boom Boom Shrimp Grinder is…read moreour go-to order. On this visit, we both ordered the grinder, but my first bite felt off -- something was missing. Sure enough, when I lifted the bun, the most important part was missing: the boom boom sauce. It took a few minutes to get our server's attention, but once we mentioned it, she quickly brought sides of the sauce for us. After adding it ourselves, the sandwich tasted the way it should, though the bread was a bit dry since the sauce wasn't baked in. I'll also note that we typically visit for lunch, but this trip was later in the evening. The vibe was very different -- louder crowd, mostly college kids, and slower service due to how busy it was. We'll probably stick to lunch visits going forward, since that's when we've had the best experience.
