It's in a cute part of town. Looks like lots of bars and restaurants and general downtown activity. Parking can be a challenge. You can park in front and there are meters around. Place was hopping on a Friday night. You find your own seat. We sat at a booth in back. We were warned that the server is slammed and there might be a wait but it was fine. The server took good care of us. They have popcorn machine and you can help yourself. The drinks are pretty cheap and they have lots of cocktails and ok beer selection. Menu is just big enough. Prices are good all around. And again drinks are pretty cheap. There are 5 of us. 2 people got wings. 1 was liked 1 said it was just ok. Someone got the crab cakes and she liked them it was an appetizer. And 2 of us got the French dip sandwich. It was good. Lots of tender roast beef. Cheese was good. Not too many veggies though. I like veggies. But it was a good sandwich. The dip au jus was good. 1 of us got tots and I got fries. Lots of fries and decent amount of tots. They were good, generous. It was all pretty good. I would go back and hang out again.

Server was friendly. Will definitely put on top of list to stop by again when in Erie PA.

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!

Room 33 is STILL amazing! Five years after my original…read morereview, we made our way back to Erie and Room 33 -- this time to celebrate Melissa's birthday. We've actually tried to return a couple times since that first visit, but apparently other people have discovered the place too. Both times we showed up without reservations and struck out. Lesson finally learned: MAKE. THE. RESERVATION. This time we did, and Room 33 reminded us exactly why we loved it in the first place. We both ordered Sonny's Short Rib, served over mashed potatoes with roasted carrots. Absolutely delicious -- tender, rich and packed with flavor. Although I gotta give the 2021 version the edge in the looks department. And you can't celebrate a birthday without dessert. Melissa went with the peanut butter pie, while yours truly handled the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Both were worthy of the occasion. Different band than our first visit, but the same great energy. Live music, cocktails, that cool speakeasy atmosphere and a room full of people having a genuinely good time -- Room 33 just knows how to create a night out. Five years ago I said Room 33 gave me one more reason to keep coming back to Erie. Five years later, that statement still holds up.

Room 33 has been one of our favorite Erie restaurants for many years. We love the whole vibe. The…read morefood and drinks are well made and thought out, the live music is always a nice touch to an evening out and the space is very well designed. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially when they have a band performing. My go-to dish is the short rib dish. The mashed potatoes are amazing and the short ribs are packed with flavor. On this particular visit, they were a bit skimpy on the au jus sauce (it's normally got a healthy laddle of pan sauce on the bowl) but that's okay. I did splurge for my birthday and get a slice of the peanut butter pie. It was super rich and exactly what peanut butter lovers want in a peanut butter pie.

Was pretty quick to come back and take our regular dinner orders. We asked if there was bread - said he would bring it with our soups and salads. We were seated in the back and were the only table back there. They had live music outside and a few tables in the front. My cousins shared a story with the waiter how over ten years ago sitting at the same table they had forgotten about us for 30 minutes and never took our order until I called the restaurant and asked if anyone was working the back section of the restaurant. Haven promised this would not happen. We did not see him again until 8PM an hour after we seated when he arrived with our soups and salads. I said we were getting worried because we seated at 7PM and it's now 8 PM - wasn't sure what happened to you. He simply said they gave me another table and had orders. Ok. Haven Brought us the leftover bread they had which was all jalapeño rolls that were hot and were terrible. Cousin asked for some normal bread and he said they were putting more in oven - never heard anymore about bread - never brought anything else. Our meals did come out about 8:20PM - they handed me my steak tips and a brown baked potato from the bottom of the warming oven that was a couple hours past its prime and bitter. I looked at the girl that delivered it and said this potato is bad - she said nothing but did get me a new one. I did not complain. We hadn't complained at all. The manager or owner - no idea - came out and said do we have a problem - I said no - we just find it chuckleable that we were left here for an hour without seeing anyone - he said I will find out what happened - never saw him again. Food was ok - my second potato was barely better than first - in the 80 minutes it took to serve my meal they could have brought me a fresh baked potato that takes the same time to bake. ' My steak tips were cooked right at medium rare but delivered cold. Cheeseburger for daughter over cooked with black stuff coming off burger and delivered cold. Rest of food was fine - salmon, walleye, chicken and rigatoni. All fine. Mediocre experience. Repeat of ten years ago. Paid our bill - tipped per their guidelines - did not complain. They did not do themselves a service by pretending it went well, or even ok. The front patio was fully shutdown by time we left. As far as I can tell they just waited to make our food until rest of restaurant was fed or Haven just never delivered it. We politely paid and left. They don't know me - never said sorry about that or anything. Generally it just sucked. Was there with family from Wyoming, Illinois, Wisconsin, and North Carolina along with Erie PA - restaurant was my pick. No one enjoyed the experience and was just tired by the end as we left after 9 PM. I wouldn't suggest bringing a large party here for anything in the world. Just surprised with their lack of ownership for the poor experience. Hostess said please come again - that will never happen - blacklisted for me. If you get seated in the back room by yourselves - abort - you will be lost in that back room. That room has dozens of drain flies all over the place as well which means they have slow drains somewhere - again we never said a word other then sending back my old baked potato - kitchen never should have sent that out. Overall this place embarrassed me in front of my family and was just a poor experience. Two thumbs down. I did not take a picture of my mediocre meal - but we had two people that couldn't come - they were lucky to have missed it. Not sure what would cause someone to come back here a 2nd time - past its prime. I've been coming here since 2002 - I will never be back - ever!

A couple flat screen tvs had the Indians game on. Service was solid. There were a couple beers on tap that I hadn't heard of before and the bartender offered a couple 1oz samples to us. There's a jukebox (some guys were playing Blackstreet and Montell Jordan, yeah, yeah!) There's a relaxed atmosphere with a couple hi-tops that you seat yourself and in the back, a couple nice couches and a coffee table for you and a small group of friends to drink and be merry amid the bright lighting. In addition to the 12 on tap, there's dozens of microbrews from transparent coolers where you help yourself and browse the dozens of microbrews from all over Europe, Mexico, and the USA including Bell's, Great Divide, Sam Smith, a couple Belgians. As Pennsylvania has odd beer laws: you can buy the beers as 6pack, make your own 6pack to go, or drink in them in the store. There's also domestics in case you need to cheapen it up. There wasn't any food available (or did they just shut down microwave for the night?) at 10p. There's also a selection of 24oz fancy shamancy like 3 philosophers, some very limited runs from rogue dead ale, unibrou, southern tier, Samuel Smith. This is worth stopping in if you're even driving through Erie, as this is right off I-90. This place was the only reason I enjoyed staying in a hotel amid the suburban sprawl of Erie.

They have a nice wine and cocktail selection, and we started with drinks + the mussels! The mussels had great flavor and were a little something different than your typical mussel appetizer on the menu. Yum! We opted for soups instead of salads with our entrees (the entrees come with salad and bread as a standard), and the soup of the day had chicken meatballs and noodles on a tomato base. No complaints! We both chose the rigatoni alla zozzona since it seemed like a more unique Italian entree. It was definitely delicious - I'm not sure I felt the traditional sauces included, but it was tasty, had some heat, and the sausage in it was great. Overall the service was on the slow side, but we were catching up and didn't mind. We had everything we needed, and I'd come back again!
