Always a solid dining experience at Eric's. My wife and I have been going for years. Sitting at the bar and enjoying some cocktails prior to an always great steak. Very charming atmosphere and always very relaxing. Steaks have always been cooked perfect and the dirty martinis are thr best. If you're one to Waukesha and looking for a small, customer oriented steak place, Eric's is just what your looking for.

Don’t let the older building fool you- the chef is not out of it. I started at the bar with a delicious(southern comfort) old fashioned. They set us up in the northeast dining room, which had a nice hotel from the 1800s feel to it. We had a larger group and as such, started with multiple appetizers. The bruschetta is perfectly crispy, not a hard crunch at all. The champagne sauce for the scallops tasted like homemade by grandma in the best way. It was just a happy yummy. The shrimp cocktail had a great flavor, especially for being such huge shrimp! One friend said it was the best shrimp cocktail he’s ever had.The marinara for the fried mozzarella was also quite tasty. I had the ribeye and crab legs for dinner. I’m struggling to remember a time I had a ribeye that was so perfect. It was seasoned beautifully, temped to perfection, and it was tender enough to skip the steak knife. The chef rendered the fat marbling to be as soft as butter. I’m impressed- which says a lot. I ate all of my mushrooms and some of my husband’s. The garlic mashed potatoes were not overly garlicky- which can be a problem for many restaurants. Eric’s gets it right. My dinner salad was a generous size of nice, crispy vegetables. And no worrying about having a dressing you like- they probably have you covered with lots of options. The crab legs were very large and meaty. However- a crab fork would’ve been good to have for the parts still within the shell. King crab is ouchy to grab to crack by hand ? Though this might’ve been our specific server that specific night, not the standard for the restaurant. The staff was very happy to help any of us with anything we requested, excellent attitudes. Everyone in the group seemed to really enjoy their meals and between us, we covered a lot of the menu. The wine list was a mild disappointment, especially for a steak house. I would’ve liked to see a couple Cabernet, Merlot, and Pino Noir options, but they have only one option per style of wine.Parking: The parking lot entrance is a little tricky to spot with the neighboring businesses. A couple people from our group missed it the first time. There’s not much Eric’s could do about it, I’m not even sure there’s room for a sign. However, there is enough free parking available.Kid-friendliness: It has an old family restaurant vibe to it, very Wisconsin. They have a children’s menu for the less elevated tastes of children.
Sadly it's going down hill, the restaurant needs a make over

First time dining. Food was good, steak was perfectly cooked. Husband and I wanted to try a new steak house that doesn’t completely break the bank. Pleasantly surprised. We will definitely go back.

I saw all the bad reviews and almost canceled. So glad we didn't! Sierra was extremely attentive and the food was great! We are steak snobs and our steaks were done perfectly. No fat or gristle on my strip steak. They include 2 sides, unheard of at most supper clubs. Very glad we came!

Third or fourth time eating here…My mindset on this place previously was that it is dingy and service is consistently awful, but the food was absolutely fantastic which made the negative things seem tolerable. Well, their food is the last domino to fall on this place. Paid $52 for a bland, overcooked leather strap (12 oz filet); literally NO seasoning. Pretty sure it wasn’t 12 ounces either, but I didn’t realize bringing a scale to confirm meat weight was a necessity. The mushrooms were amazing, I just feel paying $52 for mushrooms is a little aggressive. Good thing my wife bats cleanup and likes leather straps; I was going to feed it to my dogs. Also, don’t ask for soda refills on their 6oz (rough estimate) glasses, as they charge $2.50 per refill. All that being said, at least the guys in the kitchen are having a great time as you can hear just about everything they say when they’re laughing and carrying on. I would add some context on how awful the service was, but that was expected before we walked through the door. This place tries so hard to be fine dining, but my advice to anyone thinking about giving this restaurant a try, save your money and go somewhere else. ✌?Parking: Once you find a parking spot, put the car back in drive and go home. Best advice I can give you.
Amazing place great service and amazing
