   Booked three weeks in advance for Valentine’s Day. They gave us no warning that “the chef” changed the menu to a mandatory $70 per person courses meal, rather than traditional dining. They apologized for the surprise and said we could leave if we didn’t want to pay it, so of course we did, but how could they not give us a heads up? They ruined Valentine’s Day for us and many other couples, as the restaurant was completely empty. And of course everywhere else was booked because it was Valentines Day.

   It was a great first experience. There was one dish they were out of fairly early, we had reservations at 7:00pm on Saturday and they were out of the lasagna. otherwise, the food and service was great.

   First time to go here. My daughter is a student at Clemson and has been wanting to try. So we went with some friends and the food was superb! Sushi, pizza, Brussels sprouts everything was so good!

   Best steak I’ve had in a while. Seasoned to perfection. My wife had the pizza and said it was great as always. Tiramisu for dessert was absolutely delicious.

   Food was really good but the service a little slow. Oysters were delicious but should be served with either horseradish/cocktail sauce or mignonette. Wood fired shrimp were fabulous. Pizza was really good.

   Erica is a hidden gem! Good old fashioned service who go out of their way to accommodate Food is just amazing and the setting is intimate and cozy. Our new favorite place.

   OMG! You have got to try this sweet little bistro in Pendleton, South Carolina right off the major highway. It’s a little tough to get into but it’s well worth the effort. It was so nice to meet Erica the owner, co-owners with her husband and hear the story of how they opened Erica’s. Gabby was a great server and we appreciate her professionalism. She was friendly, but also knew when to leave us alone and when to help us out it’s so great to have people who work for you that are that conscientious. Everybody should try this place and then you’ll fall in love with it like we did.

    Our 1st time to Erica’s Very very cool menu and vibes We live in the Cliffs at Keowee so it is a bit of a drive we normally try and stay closer to home..but since it is Dry January…we ventured out So glad we did…. Menu you super wide ranging but the combination of Italian and Asian works…. Lasagna is very different and great Pizza’s outstanding…. The wine list looks great…we will try that and the steaks in February… Service was great as well…see you in February Happy New Year Jim
