Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

When I asked if we could get separate checks I was told no, but we decided to go ahead because it was the chosen place by the group. I wasn’t greeted at the door but part of my party was there so I sat. The...waitress came over and asked if I wanted a drink but didn’t give me a menu, so I had to get it myself. The manager told us she would split the check in half and because we were 9 people and when we got the check they had split the prices of everything in half. Never have I ever seen such a stupid thing.More

Definitely have the second or third string working tonight. Food was not ready. One meal was not included and I had to drive back to get it. When I called to complain, the person who answered the phone asked if I was coming back for...it. Duh ... Let me throw $18 plus gas money down the toilet. Unreal.More

We arrived on a busy Friday evening without reservation. They had a large party plus all inside tables were taken. We were offered a table outside which we gladly accepted. We were the first and for a while the only people outside. Figured it would...be a while as they were clearly very busy. In just a couple of minutes we had water, drinks order taken, and menus. Drinks from the bar were terrific! Dinner did take a little while, but pleasant to sit there and watch the cars go by. It didn't take all that long. Dinner was served hot and just as ordered. Had a steak sandwich minus the bun with green salad. The steak was surprisingly large and very tasty. Perfectly done!More

I have been going to The Olde Erie for years. The food is always delicous and consistent. The portions are huge and you will take home a doggie bag. The staff is accomodating and attentive. The prices and good and the atmosphere is friendly and...family oriented. What more could you ask for?More

My family needed an escape from our everyday routine and decided to eat at a local restaurant, Destefano’s Old Erie. The warmth and inviting atmosphere just added to the comfort we needed to sit down, relax and forget about the day’s activities. Their menu is...so appetizing to the senses. I ordered a Butter Squash Ravioli, OMG. What a surprise for the senses, a delicious mix of butter squash wrapped in a mouth watering ravioli and smothered in a walnut raisin maple sugar white sauce. This is definitely a dinner you must try. I give this a thumbs up for a surprise meal. Lillian &WayneMore

The food was truly delicious and worth the wait. The place was packed to the rafters and, unfortunately, they were short staffed both in servers and bartenders. However, our server was a picture of grace under pressure in having ten tables to manage. Reservations are...a MUST. We went with our best friends and the atmosphere was very condusive to conversation even though the smaller tables were quite close to each other. It took quite a while to get our soup/salad/drinks from the bar/entrees. We arrived at 6 p.m. and cashed out at 9 p.m. On the other hand, it was really nice to not feel rushed out. Our tab came to $250 for four people - the price included soup and salad, our entrees, and three adult beverages per person. Mixed drinks were spendy at $8.50 per but worth it. Draft beer was approx $4-5 per. I'll be saving up for a return trip. ***Note: Street parking is at a premium - lots of restuarants in the immediate area. We parked about a block away and, after all the food, the stroll ended up being a gift.***More

We arrived promptly for our reservation and there was a party of 8 waiting before us. Then there were arrivals after us. The hostess/waitress did not acknowledge us and we waited approximately 20 minutes to be seated for a 1 o'clock reservation and the place...was basically empty. Empty of tables seated, and empty of staff. She was filling water pitchers and answering the phone but not seeing us. I was beginning to wonder if we would be able to make the show. Eventually, they pulled things together. We placed and received our orders in a timely manner. My mango salad was exquisite. Then we were trying to pay for our check and I had to go and find the hostess/waitress to pay. We made the show with 15 minutes to spare.More

This is our go to place for Italian food. Not only is the atmosphere cozy, but the staff are friendly and there to make your experience a good one every time. The food is great, never disappointed no matter what we order. Definitely worth the...price as you take home so much leftovers, its like having two for the price of one. The only negative are the drinks at times are not always great, but hey you can't always be 100% satisfied with everything.More

Travel and eat out 3-4 times a week and will definitely stop here again. Princess Maria and Queen Linda were so welcoming and Kelly and Kelli behind the bar were amazing, attentive and had great recommendations on menu options. Met a wonderful regular named John...at the bar who the entire staff welcomed. Ordered Ravioli and Meatballs from Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.....fabulous....Mayen’s sauce rivals Italy.More

We do not. But there are a lot of things on the menu you can get if you can't have gluten, seafood choices, steaks, chicken or veal dishes that aren't breaded or done with flour.
