My boyfriend and I went for lunch on Saturday. He was excited to try the French onion soup, and I…read morejust wanted a simple soup and sandwich. I ordered a turkey panini with corn chowder, and he got the beef shaved sandwich with the French onion soup. The soups arrived first. Mine was lukewarm, and his French onion soup was decent. However, when our sandwiches arrived, his beef sandwich was extremely hot, so hot he couldn't even pick it up. When he finally took a bite, he burned the inside and top of his mouth because the center of the sandwich was much hotter than the outside. It was obvious that the sandwich had been microwaved. Unfortunately, he ended up with a wound on the roof of his mouth, and it was painful. We even considered going to urgent care to document it. My review is based solely on his experience with a dish that was dangerously hotter than it should have been.

I really enjoyed their red sangria which I wasn't highly hopeful of but I'll take a good surprise any day. The coconut shrimp with strawberry coconut dip was excellent as well. We got the sampler of ribs, pork and brisket which was also really nice but couldn't finish as for two people it was too much to eat. Other menu items of the past I have really enjoy are the Mac and Cheese and the Duck Dumplings or pot stickers... name escapes but the memory of enjoyment never did. Great server. Great staff. For the sports fans if you are worried about missing the game when nature calls they have audio in the men's room as well. Watch your excitement please for the obvious reasons. lol

We had a Peach Cosmo and White Sangria. For dinner we ordered the Cajun Pasta dish which was fettuccine with chicken, andouille sausage and shrimp. The dish was plentiful but didn't contain a lot of protein. The other dish was Fish & Chips. One very large piece of fish and fries. Meal was average. Dessert was the Italian Lemon Cake and a Tiramisu. Both desserts were good, coffee could have been hotter and fresher. Overall it was a lovely dinner and we will be returning as there are many other items on the menu we would like to try.

((Full disclosure it does get sweltering hot as it's right in the sun around 2/3pm)). The service was perfect and the food/drinks were delicious. I had the hotdog (low-key delicious), and hubby had the Signature Burger (devoured the entire thing!). We also shared baskets of regular fries and Chipotle Cheese Fries. Let me tell you -- these fries are DELISH to begin with. Reminds me of the Boardwalk (IYKYK), and then it's topped with more wonderfully flavorful toppings?!? Sign. Me. Up. ((Quick nod to the antiques in the bathrooms - the mirrors are gorgeous!!)) We will definitely be back!

I ordered a flight that included a Hef (slightly more bitter than expected), a Rye IPA (exquisitely balanced), a Munich Dunkle (nicely toasted in aroma and flavor), and the Imperial Stout (big chocolate and roasted but body thinned as the beer warmed). The stellar service continued when we ordered food. My wife had the stuffed grape leaves which were surprisingly tasty and I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was delectable. Highly recommended.

The building dates back to the 1890's but I'm told a restoration was done on the bar and restaurant after a fire back in the 1980's. They did a great job as it looks like it's been there forever I had the bbq chicken and ribs and my friend had a steak. The food was great and plentiful and we just couldn't finish it all. The one thing I didn't care for was the nachos appetizer. I'd order something different next visit. Service was above average. Evidently there was some confusion in the kitchen and it took longer than normal for our food to come out. Our waitress came and told us about it as soon as she knew and apologized and comped us a drink for the long wait. Frankly I really appreciated how she handled it and we tipped her accordingly. I give it four stars, with a little off for disappointing nachos but I'd definitely reconsider after another visit or two next time I'm in town.

The staff and patrons looked at each other joking and laughing but NOBODY was instructing the patrons as to what to do. We waited a few minutes but finally left as the BLAT,BLAT,BLAT of the alarm was excruciating to the slight headache I had entered the dining area with. Fire trucks showed up but it was established to be a false alarm. Something they should have let the patrons know right away. I felt we should have been partially compt. for the meal since we only finished half of it before we left. I don't think I will go back as I felt the whole situation was handled poorly. They need better safety protocols for such situations. Laughing and joking while patrons are confused as to what to do is a serious violation of ethics to say the least. Get it together erie hotel! You have some work to do.

They apologized, then I *thought* they were offering us rice pudding to make up for it, but then they charged us $12 for that. By this time, it was 8PM and they wanted to close up--not make my takeout. The owner wanted us to pay cash and stood by the table until we reconciled the bill and search through our wallets for cash.

She asked what I was thinking and when I told her Ruben she said it is very good here. Well I will say that was definitely one of the better Ruben's I have had. Not too big, not too greasy, it all stayed on the bread. This seems like a place I need to come back too. I suggest to check it out.
