Located at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel, Two45 Waterfront Grille pays homage to the precise moment in history that Oliver Hazard Perry bravely led the US Navy on the path to victory during the Battle of Lake Erie.

As a tribute to our fair city, the restaurant offers upscale, traditional American cuisine with a focus on seafood and coastal fare. Chef's specialties include macadamia-crusted grouper filet, premium beef cuts, and a bone-in tomahawk pork chop.

Join us for Brunch Saturday and Sunday, and Dinner seven nights a week. Breakfast and Lunch Coming Soon.

    Advertised as 'fine dining' and certainly had 'fine dining' prices, we expected a rather calm, sublime atmosphere. Instead, it was more like a cafe setting with little protection from the noisy lobby and lobby bar. The atmosphere within the restaurant was party like and noisy too. The hostess and servers wore 'whatever they threw on that day', sweats, blue jeans etc., our waitress had on her winter coat and scarf!!!!....it was not cold at all....really weird. We both ordered the grouper entree and it was very good, we didn't stay for coffee or dessert.

    The waitress we had was pleaseant , but her workshort was souled with something wet. The servce took quite acwhile between courses. Ending the evening, my daughter orderred an Irishcoffee. What she received was a cup. of cold blackcoffee, that it. We brought this to, what I believe was a manager who said yes we can get you one. The next one was extremely strong and had no rimo of sugar , and no whip cream on top.

    Burnt cauliflower and dry garlic bread. Server said it’s the managers way with the food. Please bring the old managers. The ones who cared about the quality of the food and the customers experience.

    Very disappointed. Bring back the managers who actually cared about the customers. We ordered two appetizers: the buffalo cauliflower and the garlic/manecho cheese French bread. The cauliflower was obviously just reheated and burned so bad it was almost black and rock hard. The French bread had no garlic butter on it and was very dry almost like it was old and dried out. When we said something about them to the waitress she said that how the manager has them being made. We sent the cauliflower back because it was uneditable and requested some of the garlic butter for the bread. Waitress then brought one little dish of garlic butter and two big cups of regular butter. When she finally returned with fresh unburnt cauliflower we ask where the rest of the garlic butter was ? She stated that was how the manager has them made. She then brought out some more garlic butter for the dryer out plain loaf of French bread. When she asked if we were ready to order dinner I told her that we used to visit here weekly and loved the food but since the new manager has taken over I was scared to order dinner there. We paid the bill and went to a different restaurant for dinner. What a huge disappointment this TWO45 place and become. Change your name back to the bayfront grill and get new management in before you lose all your loyal customers.

    Best coastal food in Erie! Service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was very good, we had calamari, grouper, bucatini, and key lime pie. Very well done! It was slightly off from our first visit last year, but overall well worth it and still five stars! Will return soon!!

    Although it was dark, we really had a very nice view of the harbor and could realize what a nice summer night would be like. Our server Jennifer was amazingly friendly and treated the wives like queens. All of the food was prepared excellent and presentation was perfect. Really can’t wait to go again!

    What a difference from our dinner on Wednesday evening! So sorry I didn’t get that servers name! I am so very pleased with this morning’s experience when Alissa took care of our dining wishes! The food was awesome, a tad slow in the kitchen, but Alissa and perhaps the restaurant manager took care of the delay as well as the cost of the item keeping our food coming out to the table. The food was delicious, service today 5 stars, a solid 5/5 this experience, vs Wednesday’s dinner experience which I believe was actually a 2-2.5/5 score.

    Our second visit since the remodel, and this was much better. We went early because we knew they would be busy given the large Convention Center event next door. We were seated promptly at a nice table with a view of the bay (always a plus for this venue). We ordered a glass of wine from the nicely optioned list, then dinners of walleye and grouper. Each was perfectly prepared and delicious. We’ll be back.
