My husband and I have not been here in a while for no other reason than we have been busy working on our house. We were very happy to be back to this restaurant. Food is delicious as was my Apple cider sangria! The restaurant was decorated for the holidays. Always an extra for me!!! Thank you for a relaxing evening!

It was a fantastic dinner from start to finish!! The staff is great and very accommodating. The food is simply DELICIOUS! We has caesar salad, lobster, seafood fra diablo, sole franchise - not a complaint among us. They had one very special treat - it was my husband and my birthdays and they took a picture of us as they brought us a piece of birthday cake with a sparkling candle and gave it to us at the end of the meal. Can’t wait to go to Eric’s again!!!

We always feel welcome when we walk in the door of Eric’s! Santiago is always smiling and greets and makes us feel that he is genuinely glad to see us back. We went last night with the friends who actually introduced us to the restaurant! When we made the reservation on open table, I put a request in the notes to Santiago that it would be great if the could have Branzino, my wife’s favorite! Of course, when we got there Santiago confirmed, she would have her Branzino! One of our friends had the twin lobster special , the other ( my favorite dish there) the pounded veal parm - I ordered that as well but being slightly decadent asked them to add a layer of egg plant - amazing!!! We had some veggies and we all started with salads. While we were alll stuffed - and going home with left overs, Santiago knew we were celebrating (one of our friends and I share a birthday which was earlier in the week, as was my wife and my anniversary)and could not let us leave without bringing multiple desserts!!! A great evening With great friends and great food!! If you have not been to Eric’s try it. Ask for Santiago - tell him to put some egg plant on the veal parm ( or chicken parm)!!!
