    If you love a good bold sauce, this is the place. Great…read moreservice and food was on point. Veal Parm was a large portion, cooked perfectly and delicious. Small workable wine list. Casual but fresh decorated space. Definitely will return.

    Servers were outside of the restaurant smoking right before we walked in. They extinguished their…read morecigarettes by throwing them right out in to State Street. We did not have a reservation, but we were early and seated right away. We were seated at a table where the sun was shining right in the window and we had to sweat through dinner. But, who really wants to complain about the sun when we live in a place where winter seems to last too long. The drink that I ordered was a frozen drink except that it did not come frozen. They really should have said that it wasn't ready to be served or noticed that it was off. It came with a comically short straw that kept falling into the drink. After about a quarter of the drink, I could no longer suffer through the gel like chunks ofthe piña colada mixture and did not finish it. The bread, dipping oil, salads, and our server were the positives of the evening. My husband ordered the lasagna. It did not seem fresh. It was dried out, not very much cheese and just lots of chunks of meatballs. He also didn't care for the red sauce. It had a lot of tomato flavor, but not much else. It was also extremely thick. I ordered the lobster ravioli. The Alfredo sauce there is nice. There wasn't a ton of flavor to the lobster ravioli and I think I would've liked it. more had it been more clump type of lobster rather than what seemed like an already macerated lobster. Textually it was just off for me, but the ravioli noodle itself was also good.

    Stopped in on a Saturday night around 9:45 PM. Great service, even though the food took a little…read morelong. I suggest making a reservation, as we had one and still had to wait a bit. Out of all the fine dining experiences I've had in Erie so far, this would be at the top... food wise and view wise. It's beautiful to sit outside and have the view of the bicentennial tower right next to the water! Now for the dish details! -Buffalo cauliflower was nothing special, your standard Buffalo cauliflower with a side of ranch... great to share for the table. The Roasted Organic Chicken was so juicy and tender, it fell right off the bone. Mashed potatoes and green beans paired perfectly. One of my favorites! -The heirloom tomato salad was a 7/10... I think the tomato wedges needed to be smaller pieces. This salad had the best croutons I've ever had! French onion soup was also a standout for me... definitely recommend! -Lastly Walleye Fish & chips: I think they could've included a bit more fish (it was three tenders), tasted good tho...7/10 as well! I would definitely come back here again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine dining waterfront experience in Erie!

    Two45 Waterfront Grille fails to impress…read more.. Accidental reservation on my part! My parents and sister live in Erie and I visited recently and I had lunch nearby and it was great. I didn't think too much into the reservation but when I showed up it was definitely not the place I recall (now known as Pier 6) but I recall looking at photos that it would be worth checking it out. We were promptly seated and greeted by the waitress. The lunch menu is brief with a few items in each section of Apps, salads, sandwiches and plates. We opted for the calamari as we heard it was a good app to start with. At the same time we ordered drinks which consisted of coffee, Expresso martini and the aperol spritz. The calamari came out and it was a good amount. However, they were very small and it was dry. We got the perch sandwich and it came out with an enormous amount of shoe string fries which imo are the worse type as they are typically over fried and so were these. Frying a good filet of fish is usually a bad idea and this sandwich would be better served to be grilled when your fries are fried and the calamari is fried too. Service was slow for being an empty restaurant. Note: we had a 4 year old with us and the key is to always rush their food asap so they stay content. Since we waited a bunch of time, we had some ancy people at the table after 1 hour 45 minute lunch where the room was essentially empty. Much improvement can be had otherwise spend your dollars at Pier 6 for a much better experience.
