" The best place for Asian-style cocktails! I highly recommend grabbing one of their signature drinks before your meal. As for the food, I ordered the fried rice, and it was delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere adds an extra special touch to your dining experience. Excited to return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant stands out for its unique take on Chinese cuisine. Tried the Dan Dan noodles for the first time; they were delightful! Not too spicy but did have a satisfying kick. The atmosphere is bright and happy, making it a perfect spot for casual dinners. Service was friendly and unpretentious. I’ll definitely be back to try more cocktails! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely incredible food and service! Our server went above and beyond when I ordered off-prompt. The food was beautifully plated and the flavors elevated traditional Chinese dishes. The egg rolls were perfect. I recommend Ernest for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Felt very welcomed when I entered this nice spot. The dumplings were fantastic. The detail in the cuisine really impressed me. They do a wonderful job of making the experience memorable. I look forward to returning for more delicious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed overall. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was just okay at best. The sesame chicken I ordered was overly salty, and the vegetable dumplings were bland. Service could also use some improvement, it took a long time for anyone to check in on us. Won’t rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at Ernest was mixed for me. While the digs were charming, the service was a bit slow, and my dish wasn't warmed properly upon arrival. I ordered the sesame chicken, which was decent but lacked the deeper flavors I associate with traditional Chinese cooking. I will give it another shot because I really liked the look of the restaurant and want to try their dumplings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ernest has quickly become my go-to spot. The service staff is always friendly and attentive. The lo mein is very good, and the fried rice is fantastic too! Not to mention, their desserts are made fresh daily. Don’t skip the flourless chocolate cake—perfect finish to the meal! " (*Curated Review*)
