Use’t to be good, haven’t been in around a month. They must of have a bad cook day or something because the day we did go, the steaks were not fancy sit down restaurant quality. Prices went up a bit quality way down. The portions on the fish were very conservative aswell they must be rationing for the raptureLooked at other reviews, this place deserves a one star. It just ain’t right to pick up someone else’s restaurant and turn it around for the worse for your dimes and nickels

First time I ordered the ribeye steak medium and it was very tough. Worst ribeye I've ever had. I wonder if it was a true ribeye. Two nights later I ordered the bbq ribs and the bbq sauce tasted burnt. It ruined the ribs, and I ended throwing a lot of them out. The French onion soup was horrible. It was flavorless and the worst French onion soup I've ever had. Hubby had Sockeye salmon, which he didn't like nor finish. He said it was flavorless.Service was good. Food came out fairly quickly. The fried zucchini spears and bread were very good. We won't be back, however. A ribeye shouldn't be tough and BBQ sauce shouldn't be burnt. Both entrees were over $50 each and should have been much better. I feel ripped off.

We used to, years ago, frequent this place and it was good until the owners put it on the market, which promptly showed in the service and quality. They may have had certain circumstances or maybe their hearts were no longer in it. Either way they planned and made their exit and gave someone else a chance to fill the venues potential. I get staff shortages and all and am always respectful, but customer service goes a long way and anyone in the restaurant industry should grasp this concept. Short of it is we stopped going. We just gave them one last chance hoping new owners injected new life. Not the case. At least the cuts of meat used to be good. "Steakhouse" is definitely a overreach. One in our party got the surf and turf ordered well done. (His preference and I understand any judgments). The thing was still bleeding! Which is my preference so he traded me for my burger and we made it work. No harm, no foul, but a steakhouse should know how to cook... steak. Got there about at 5:30ish and asked for the happy hour and daily specials and waited 20 minutes for the server to come back around. When the check came it was full price on the 2 appetizers and drinks. Inquired and the server left for another five minutes and said her boss took a literal couple bucks off what should have been much more but couldn't do anything else because the order was entered in right after 6. At this point it isn't even about the money it's about the fact that we specifically asked for the happy hour specials and we were penalized for their inability to promptly take and enter orders and then they are not even willing to make it right? The amount was not only an advertised special but less than 10% of our check and the gratuity almost doubled that. I won't be stingy as the server was nice enough and came around several times to refill waters and ask how things were and everything was there just the steak wasn't cooked right, not her fault. We certainly are not going to waste God's creation over it. This place definitely is tripping over dollars to save dimes and they won't get another one of either of ours.

For the cost the plates were limited in portion size. This is a very expensive place.

I was disappointed with my last visit. The food tasted good, but our order came out with several mistakes/missing items. The lanterns at the tables near us were much too bright, almost like a searchlight, and felt like a distraction. I expected a better experience based on the cost of our meal.

Absolutely overrated! None of the servers had smiles and acted like they were upset to be there. We waited over an hour for our food only to find out that it tasted just like IHOP, so don't let the outside and interior mislead you! It's already too expensive to go out as it is, and to experience such a disappointment is beyond discouraging. So much for trying something new - will not be back.

We went for my sister's birthday. We were a larger party. We were well taken care of. The food tasted delicious. The only down fall to the food was it came out cold.

Server was great but the prime rib was so tough I couldn't chew it. Probably an off night but not a great meal.

No no bad dog.

While I was in Lewiston ID I was looking for a steakhouse. Some locals recommend Ernie's. I sat in the bar as it has a beautiful view of the valley below. Had a great server, well knowledged in the dishes. Had the porterhouse. Prepared perfectly. I would definitely come here again.

The Mahi Mahi tuna was almost un eat able. It was dry and stringy. That, unfortunately, was my experience.

Reviews didn't do this place justice ... I enjoyed the ribs here and it was a great environment. Staff was very friendly ...

We have eaten here a few times. Never had issues, and the food was always good.This last Saturday night, our son turned 21 and chose Ernies as the place he wanted to go to dinner. There were 7 people and 1 toddler. Our bill was almost $400. That included the outrages gratuity that they tacked on. The food was slow coming out. 2 of us only had burgers. 1 person in our party paid for their own. But because she sat with us they slapped them with the automatic gratuity to.I'm not sure we will ever go back.
