My wife and I dined her on Friday before Valentine's Day. We were somewhat concerned as my wife had heard that tables were very close together (which she hates) and that the dining experience was impacted negatively as a result. This was not our experience. My wife called ahead and requested more private seating. We were accommodated and our dining experience was EXCELLENT. Our server, Christina, was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. We will request her on future visits. Our appetizers, wedge salad and she crab soup were good. The crab cakes were PHENOMENAL. We have had crab cakes in Maryland and other places where they are "famous" but none compare to these. There was minimal but flavorful filling and mountains of delicious crab in very bite. My wife's lobster tail was great and my 11 oz. filet was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The peanut butter torte dessert was FANTASTIC!!! My wife raved to the server and general manager about how much better our dining experience and food were compared to Hall's. I have to agree with this assessment. We simultaneously decided that we have found "our spot"... Proximity to our home is the cherry on top of this gem. We will return to Rick Erwin's Eastside regularly going forward.
