    Fernando provided excellent service! He provided an overview of the menu and we chose to have a combo of the set Christmas menu and a la carte. The lobster spaghetti and cabanara were exceptional! We already ordered drinks and the comp bottle of Prosecco was a nice addition! We are from NYC and would definitely recommend this restaurant to visitors! The ambiance too was great, but Fernando’s service certainly topped it!

    This was our third time @ Erba. We've Loved it every time! From the minute you walk in you can tell you are in for a fine dinning experience. The ambiance is very nice and the music is perfect. Our server, Axel was also amazing. They work as a team and seem to pay attention to details well. Again we had the lettuce salad which is a lot of lettuce but is amazing with the truffle vinaigrette if you are wanting to get some veggies in. The butter candle doesn't get old for me and although I'm not a big bread eater, I always enjoy their bread! The truffle ravioli is always great, just too little. My husband also had the lamb rack which was great. The mussels Fra Diablo were not great and neither was the foie gras. The tomato based sauce for the mussels was interesting, but the mussels themselves were just not Good. They were chewy and had a lot of sand. Pistachio ice cream is a must!
