a plate of pasta with chicken and mushrooms

Syd's place is a hidden gem. Great menu and delicious food. Highly recommend. Their staff is very nice and the interior is cozy. I would recommend the pasta dish with Alfredo, scallops and shrimp- 10/10

Fisherman's Platter

Such a lovely home-style seafood restaurant in Erie! Good place to grab a big meal if you are visiting Erie. It had a large menu to choose from, both seafood and non seafood. Service is nice especially when the whole industry is understaffed after COVID. The fisherman's platter and the walleye special we ordered were nicely cooked and delicious. Also, the clam chowder was loaded with clam meat. Portion size is big! You won't leave hungry from Syd's place.

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.

I had a terrific meal at Born and Braised. We started with the Thai basil mussels, which were rich,…read morebuttery, and full of flavor, plus the portion was very generous. For my entrée, I ordered the tiger shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy, the blistered tomatoes added the perfect touch of acidity, and all of the components of the dish came together beautifully. My friend ordered the lemon and honey chicken and said it was excellent as well. The atmosphere at Born and Braised feels intimate with a beautiful art deco vibe. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu.

We brought a bottle of wine, they have a liquor license but currently don't serve wine or beer. Server didnt write the order down correctly, they brought the wrong food to the table, then we waited a while longer. They asked if we wanted a complementary cocktail which was nice but we were enjoying our wine. It just didn't make sense, maybe a salad, bread or appetizer since we were still waiting for our food. Food arrived but server didnt give us silverware abs we had to wait/ask for that too. When the bill came they still had the food wrong so that needed corrected too and we didn't catch it till after we paid and tipped. Maybe our server had an off night but then he made a comment about not wanting to overcharge us and to "save us money" by adjusting the bill. It was his mistake for charging us for the wrong meal and we pointed it out. Ambiance, I would have enjoyed them dimming the lights a bit. Seemed like it was plenty bright.

I went to That Place to eat lunch, and watch NCAA Basketball. I asked bartender if I could place…read morean order, she said "the waitress will be around to take my order." 45 minutes later, waitress came by to clean off table next to me. I hdld up menu and said "sure like to order", she completely ignored me and never came back. I was there 4 times last 2 weeks, because I moved in with my brother, after having a stroke. Worst customer service EVER! When I went back to talk to owner , two drunks tried to get in my face, I'm have martial arts training, so it wouldn't have been pretty. Anyway if you want BAD SERVICE, THAT PLACE ON W 26th is more than willing to accommodate. NEVER BE BACK, I'LL WALK 2 Reservoir 26, which is half mile away. At least I can get service, without it being an "issue." ​

I sincerely miss the old "Corner Tavern" days. They were…read morestolen from us all a couple years ago, and I never got over it. There's something so appealing to me about a real corner bar. The smells of smoke and beer and short-order cooking...the sounds of mindless sports shows on the TV - even the Price is Right makes for good watching...the murmur of the type of chatter that seems so important at the time...I miss all of these things so much, but I'm here to tell you, That Place on 26th St still has it all and they deliver both barrels! The place was PACKED, so I didn't try to get lunch yesterday, but I'll be heading back very soon cause the reason the place was PACKED was the food they were serving - the day's special was stromboli and one after another came in and ordered one or two or three, some stayed and ate, some left with their orders, but the flow never even slowed! Yes, smoking is permitted, but so what? If that bothers you, you're probably better off in a safe little corporate "pub". THIS is a REAL tavern and they are worth more than a try. Stop in, grab some beers and a bite and enjoy all the memories they bring up!
