This restaurant is a wonderful discovery. Josh provided excellent service, and the dishes were prepared with outstanding ingredients. Service was prompt, and the festive décor and music created a warm, inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting.

Beautiful with beautiful views

Room 33 - Short rib

Neat and cozy atmosphere. A bit pricey for Erie. The short rib was pieces of meat on the potatoes…read moreand reminded me of Top Round as opposed to short rib. When I order short rib, I expect an actual short rib on the plate. Other than that, the experience was good. Server Josh was prompt and personable. Beer was in a deceiving small glass for tap beer. Prices reminiscent of PGH or Cincinnati, not small town Erie. Mac and cheese was good. I couldn't eat the app burgers due to aioli, and no offer to bring one free of aioli. I love the atmosphere, but very disappointed in my short rib dish. Asked for any reduction sauce instead of aioli and nothing was possible (I don't consider this a big ask).

Hidden in plain sight…read more I've passed this place more than 50 times during my visits to Erie and never even blinked. Well that is until last week. I came here for an early dinner and my oh my I have got to pay more attention. Go in, push the book case and plan to stay awhile! Cocktails outstanding, appetizers were plentiful, the entree was just ok, vibes were everything. I started with the hibiscus spritzer which was a little bit on the sweet side for me but very refreshing. The whipped feta plate (I cannot recalled the exact name) with a very large portion with whipped feta, pita bread, rye crisps and sweet peppers which was healthy and refreshing. For an entree we decided to share the short ribs. It was a very large portion that came with mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. The temperature was off like it wasn't fresh, it wasn't hot the short rib was dry the carrots were hots, the potatoes lukewarm, the plate hot, all very odd. I didn't care for it so I'm glad we shared it. My friend enjoyed it I didn't say anything. For dessert (there is no menu so they share the specials verbally) We selected what we were told was a strawberry cheesecake. It was not cheesecake. It was definitely a shortbreak with a way too sweet frosting. I was very disappointed in this because I would chosen the chocolate cake (or nothing). Just as we wrapped up the live music had started. This place is super cute, and perfect for drinks, dinner, a date, the live music, etc.

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.

Ippa pizza hands-down serves one of the best Neapolitan pizza in Erie. Tried their signature ' Ippa…read morepizza ' that features hand stretched Mootzarell cheese, milled tomato, basil pesto, house made italian cream sauce and pecorino cheese. The pizza has such a good balance of flavors with the perfectly thin airy crust. I definitely recommend dining in as you will enjoy the fresh-out-of-the-oven pie. There are plenty of seatings at the bar and tables. They serve alcohol and gelato as well. I'll definitely go back to try other stuff on the menu FYI, if you order for pick up, order directly from their website (with Toast system), it would be the best deal in comparison to other ordering service.

This review is for the flagship food hall location. My colleagues and I visited the flagship food…read morehall on a Wednesday night. I had my heart set on Ippa Pizza before we arrived. Once the crew arrived we went to the front area where ippa is being served and ordered from the bar. There were about 6 pizza options, Stromboli, garlic bread and two specials. We decided to order the Rita (Margherita pizza) and Pepperoni squared (double pepperoni pizza) and a large garlic bread. We took a seat next to the bar right before the live music started. The order came out within 10 minutes. This might be some of the best pizza I've ever had I could taste the fresh ingredients, the garlic, spices cheese all of out was absolutely outstanding. While I enjoyed the live music aspect it was a touch too loud. I look forward to visiting Ippa again the next time I'm in Erie.
