You can never go wrong having dinner at Erica. They never disappoint. Food is fabulous. Service is great. I’m finding them to be a bit pricey at this point, but you get what you pay for and they are worth it.

Of four items I tasted, two appetizers and two mains, they were all a bit sweet for my liking, but no complaints everything was well well crafted, cocktails were solid. The dining room was lively but not loud and service was attentive and pleasant. Overall well worth the drive !

A whimsical tasting journey. We had the yellowtail tartare it was fresh and balances. The popping of the wasabi caviar was delightful. The duo of duck was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. We will be back to try more!!

The overall experience was great including food, and service. Each dish was properly executed with creativity yet conservative styling, fresh and tasty ingredients, and served with professionalism. Everyone was very happy with the whole meal and would be happy to return if the occasion arises. The waiter smiled, filled water glasses, and the food runners all came at the some time.
