    This was our first time at Ernie's. We arrived early for our reservation and sat at the bar. Daniel was excellent, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Once seated at our table, Tana was fantastic. Very pleasant, and again, knowledgeable and friendly. The service was great, the food was great, the bar and wine selection is extensive, and overall, just a great place to dine. A hidden gem in Manteca that we slept on for far too long. Thank you so much to Mercedes, Daniel, Tana, and Alex for making it a great evening!!

    We usually have dinner at Ernie's for a special occasion. Tonight we went for date night. It had been months since we been here more because of cost its an upscale dinning. But the food is spot on and based on other food at other dinning establishments we eat at. I am now willing to spend more for good food. I see us going more often this year and next.
