Ernie's Food & Spirits

Fantastic Dining Experience
My husband and I ate there today. Beautiful interior. Wonderful food. We had calamari, Ahi Tuna Wontons for appetizers. Both Excellent. I had the Atlantic Salmon and my husband had the Tenderloin. His tenderloin was fixed to perfection. He often had not get it the way he wants it. My salmon was perfectly cooked. The veggies were cooked crisp - tender. Just as they should be. We had the Creme Bruele and chocolate almond cake. Both were fantastic. I had a cocktail called the Bourbon Baked Apple. Awesome!!! This is fine dining at its very best. The outside exterior is very plain. You would never guess the inside was so stylish and elegant.

Absolutely love this place! I go there for me and my girlfriend's "wine Wednesday" night we have twice a month. I have only tried the appetizers and wine but it is absolutely amazing!

Only downfall is the pricing. I feel it's a little too high for Manteca. I love the concept of the place and all that they have to offer is great, however, I would feel better paying the amounts I have paid if I was in the Bay Area, not lil Manteca. But other than that, I highly recommend them!!!

I dined for the first time last night at Ernie's Food and Spirits. Chef Michael Midgley and his staff offer upscale and elevated food. It was worth the drive from Stockton. The wine list is extensive and top notch - appealing to all tastes! I ordered the Ahi Napoleon - bright fresh flavors! The lamp chops were cooked perfectly! This is a true gem! I would definitely go back again!
