A Blast From the Past – You can't find restaurants like this anymore. Ernesto is ALWAYS there, and makes you and you guests feel so welcome. The broiled seafood and sauces are excellent, and though always served with a broiled tomato and rice, we enjoy the combination and never feel overly full when we leave. Don't go for the deco, it's rather retro, but this small intimate restaurant is a gem in a city filled with numerous chain restaurants. A side benefit to Ernestos,,,you don't have to wait and hour for a table!!!
It's Okay – Went to Ernesto's for the second time and was once again disappointed with the pricing for food that my family and I thought was just OK. The owner keeps talking about all his "special sauces" that really aren't so special. (Sorry! - we just weren't impressed with the flavors) All the dishes seem to get drowned by the sauces and its always the same sides - rice/broiled tomato. We walked out with a $250 tab!! Probably won't go back.
A Disappointing Experience – I have been enjoying the wonderful food at Ernesto's since the late 1980's. Each and ever visit has been an unbelievable experience, from fine food to great services. Ernestor and his family always make you feel as if YOU are family too. Each opportunity I have, I recommend this fine restaurant. This is one of those treasures you want to share with everyone. A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I invited a dear friend to dinner and immediately suggested Ernesto's. Our friend is from Ernesto's ho... read more
Re-discover Quality Dining – As I walk into Ernesto’s I am greeted by the owner, Ernesto. He greets you as if you are a friend entering his home. You don’t find this kind of service anymore! You know you are a guest and you know everything will be done to make your dining experience outstanding. Ernesto will discuss his menu with you. If you love oysters, these are the largest and best in the state. My party enjoyed a selection of seafood served with butter sauces to die for. We had a combination of stuffed red snapper, lobs... read more
My Secret...........YOU STAY AWAY !!!!! – Better than La Scala.......Tastier than Los Barrios........better service then Le Reve. So don't go dangit !
Out Standing – For any one who loves wonderful food this is the place!! The seafood is awesome the sauces are heavenly. The best margarita i ever had. The service is one of a kind! The candle light and great music completes the night. I highly recommend this restaurant to all.
Awesome sauces, tender fresh seafood/beef/veal, immpecable service, tea room atmosphere – I enjoy Ernesto's 3-7 times a month for great lunches and dinners - and have been going there for years - and have been there with family, friends, and business partners. Ernestos and the staff are very kind & professional. My last visit included a wonderful seafood grilled combination plate that included a stuffed red snapper with lump crabmeat, grilled tender shrimp and a cooked to perfection filet migon. I had fresh, grilled & fried ... read more

THE BEST! – A FRIEND INVITED ME TO HAVE DINNER THERE FOR OUR FIRST DATE, WE WERE GREETED AT THE DOOR BY A MAN WHO SAID HE WAS ERNESTO, HE WAS JUST SO POLITE AND WELCOMED US TO HIS RESTAURANT. WE STARTED OUT WITH ONE OF THE BEST MARGARITAS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD AND MY FRIEND WHO HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE JUST TOLD ERNESTO TO SURPRISE US, ALL ERNESTO ASKED US WAS IF WE ENJOYED SEAFOOD OR MEXICAN FOOD OR A LITTLE OF BOTH.
