Ernie’s On The Creek is hands down one of my favorite places in Michigan 🙌🏼 We celebrated my mom‘s 73rd birthday there and it was an amazing experience hosted by Zack (general mgr) Kelly and Eden. Service was beyond all expectations. From the first encounter with Zack who reached out to me while on vacation. He secured our event and from then on, it was seamless. On the day of the party Kelly and Eden were beyond amazing! They really went out of their way to make my mom’s birthday celebration amazing and fun; offered to help us set up and decorate, even though they had their hands full. They were so warm, kind, and helpful, which you don’t often find in the service industry these days. As a large party, we ordered from a set menu - chicken and salmon were delicious and perfectly cooked,

Gabby was wonderful! We came for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner and she made our meal so special. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much, Gabby! We will be coming back for sure! We also had the cream cake and it was delicious!!!

Love the ambience! They really went all out for the holiday season. I had the chicken souvlaki and my husband had the Florida grouper. Everything was excellent and fresh. They had a great seasonal menu and drink menu. We took our drinks and went to the patio with a fire pit, listening to the creek and relaxing . Service was excellent highly recommend.

I absolutely loved Ernie's. I had the Octopus and it was incredible. The music was great and the vibe fantastic. Gabby was so friendly and helpful and she made me want to come back and try more things. Thanks for an amazing night out!

Who knew? Ernie's on the creek has been open over a year now snuggled next to paint creek river off main in downtown Rochester. First time visit to celebrate wife's birthday. Outdoor seating is a must, heated and enclosed in inclement weather, as you become mesmerized by paint creek river racing along with a forest canopy in the background.The zaganaki and rather large bowl of lemon rice soup as starters were more than enough for two. Our waitress, Katrina, was gracious and genuinely joyful taking our order. The lemon chicken, lemon potato wedges and vegetable medley paired extremely well, and again, more than enough for two to share. Throw in an autumn negroni cocktail and a lemonade, the food and ambiance of dining there was 67 dollars. Definitely well worth it.
