" The drinks were unique and fun at Ernest! I love sipping on the specialty cocktails. Tried the Mongolian beef which was rich and flavorful. Plus, the atmosphere is great for a date or special occasion. I feel like I can get better food elsewhere, but I do enjoy the drinks here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing birthday celebration! The whole team at Ernest made us feel so catered to. The food was splendid; the crab rangoon was unmatched. The cocktails were delightful, and our server had the best energy. Highly recommend for any celebration or just a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! I took my wife here to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a blast. The tiki cocktails were fun and innovative, and the food was delicious. I particularly loved the General Ern's chicken. The server was friendly and suggested the best dishes. Overall, I'm recommending this place to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner at Ernest Chinese last weekend! The ambience was so inviting with beautiful decor. I tried the crab rangoon and it was heavenly, definitely the highlight of my meal. The service was prompt, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. I can't wait to return and explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice aesthetic! However, the food was overrated for me. The crispy duck I tried was underwhelming and disappointing, despite the reviews. The sushi was decent but nothing mind-blowing. I probably won’t be coming back anytime soon, as I prefer authentic dishes which were missing here. " (*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*)
