Old Erie Restaurant

Very nice restaurant with impressive menu featuring g a number of very well made German dishes. Actually had a Wiener schnitzel that was delicious.

We stop by the Old Erie every chance we get. We like to ride our bikes on the canal path, and travel out this way at least twice or three times a year.

The food here is creative, and it's excellent.
This is a real gem, and the owner and all the workers obviously care about the quality of the food and the service.

We like to sit outside and snack or eat lunch with a couple of the craft brews they have on tap here.

We'll be back.

My husband and I stumbled upon this wonderful place after making a day of it sightseeing  in the Finger Lakes last summer.  We visited for a 2nd time last night and were just as pleased as before.  We started with the Perogies which were nicely sauteed with sauerkraut and caramelized onions on the side~yummy.  Oh, I forgot to mention the bread basket which arrived with a portion of relished lentils for a topping~one bite of these tasty legumes and I left the bread behind and ate the whole bowl myself~my husband was texting so he lost out!  As I raved about these lentils, the waitress kindly brought me over another dish of them and the recipe to boot! I ordered the potato encrusted Salmon which was topped with a black bean relish and a dab of sour cream~the German influence.  The portion was huge and delicious-really crunchy potato on the outside and perfectly cooked salmon pink and juicy on the inside~half of it came home with me! (Too many lentils!) My Man enjoyed his Sauerbraten which was very tender and had that luscious ginger snap taste in the gravy.  Our waitress was also the hostess and the bartender and managed all three jobs to my amazement~it was late on Sunday night and not very crowded at 7:30.  This is a special little place with a wonderful small town atmosphere and well worth the visit an hour down the thruway from Rochester.  It's just off the exit so easy to find and stop in during your travels.
