One of the best places in Mercer county. The lush tiki bar that’s seasonal is like being away on vacation and I would say this is the best decorated restaurant for Christmas. My favorites are the lollipop lamb chops , French onion soup , lobster spring rolls and mixed grill with scallops. Also always like the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail . Calamari is popular here as well. One of the best espresso martinis and super fun fancy drink menu that changes seasonally. ( for winter they had a blood orange martini that was delicious) Great place to celebrate a bday or special occasion, date night , girls night etc. and you really should go see the Christmas decorations all over the outside and inside. Sometimes there is complimentary apple cider or hot chocolate and they have fire pits and heat lamps . They also have a popular lobster weekend every month that sells out a lot. I’ve even enjoyed a burger there when they have bar menu available. I love the carrot cake and turtle cheesecake. You can see more photos and videos on their website and fb page.

First time here and was so impressed with our server Laura and the amazing service team that helped us. All Our drinks and dishes were quickly and efficiently served and cleaned up. We came midweek and made a reservation but there was plenty of seating available. The bar looked fun. There are several different rooms you can sit in and there is also a lot of outdoor seating. All the food was delicious, especially, the calamari and grouper - so tender, fresh and amazing quality. Great place for celebration, special occasion, date night or night out with friends. Highly recommend

We ate here for an early dinner at the suggestion of Google maps because it was nearby and we were hungry and did not need a reservation. We did not know what to expect. The hostess greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome. The room we ate in was very pretty with a large vaulted ceiling, beautiful fireplace and nice lighting. We heard our server mention a special of the day to the table next to us yet he never offered any specials to us. Weird. However he did refill our waters more than once without us having to ask which was great. The water by the way was perfectly iced cold and delicious and poured into the most beautiful blue rimmed glasses. The food was beautifully presented. The lamb shank was tender and delicious. The calamari was disappointing. Everything else was just OK.

Lovely restaurant with tiki bar outside. Beautiful outdoor area with pagoda. Colourful plants and flowers. The food was terrific. Had the sweet potato ginger soup, blackened grouper fish tacos, and vanilla crème brulee. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were there for a family party and it was great

The patio seating was beautifully landscaped, lots of space, shade and fans to make a hot day bearable. Service was fast and friendly. The food quality is spot on for the price point. I can't wait to come back and I'm really looking forward to the non covid experience hopefully someday soon.

Can’t wait to come back! Been in the are 3 years now & finally got around to trying here. Food was great, service was outstanding. The cozy atmosphere is really inviting. The only downfall was that we had to wait 30+ min even with a reservation which was annoying but the bar area was very nice & the bar tender was great. Also when you pull up it’s a bit confusing with the valet and self park but we just parked ourselves walked up. My husband had the pretzel crusted grouper & I already am planning on getting that next time we visit because WOW. Def worth checking the place out!

We had a fabulous time celebrating my sister’s birthday last night! The staff were entertaining and so attentive to our party. Big shout out to Ernie and Charles for making our evening perfect! Our meals were delicious and the ambience was so fun and inviting. Thank you for making our evening special :)

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Erini and everything was absolutely wonderful. The waitstaff was attentive and made great recommendations. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. We truly enjoyed our meal and celebration, and well will be back again.

Fabulous food, drinks and service from start to finish. We ate outside and felt like we were on vacation in an exotic location. Kiya (our server) was amazing and attentive. Other servers even checked in to see if we needed anything when passing by. They were all friendly! Food beyond expectations! Our first time and we will be going back!

10/10!! I can’t remember the last time I was this impressed with an experience. While I was there I was texting friends and family about how good this place was from the ambience to the food/drinks- truly amazing. Will recommend to anyone I talk to. I requested outdoor seating so waited about 20 minutes. While we waited, We sat at the bar inside which had ample seating and a nice relaxing ambience. I asked the bartender for a recommendation on a drink where I couldn’t taste the alcohol because I’m a baby and the mango drink did not disappoint!! It was so amazing that I drank it too fast and definitely felt it 😂! Once seated, we were served bread and oil and were greeted by our wonderful server Katie who gave such good recommendations. We started with the lobster and shrimp spring rolls and I can’t get over how good they were- so much so that I would probably get them as my meal next time. For my meal I had the stuffed shrimp and it was stuffed with a lot of crabmeat and was incredible. My husband had the land and sea which was also Incredible. House made desserts which took me over the top but so worth it. There was a mixup at the table next to us as the restaurant was slammed out of no where but they handled it with such grace and tact. They know how to treat customers and make things right. Mistakes happen and it’s all about how you handle it which they did beautifully. Highly recommend. And plan to visit frequently. New favorite place!

I can not believe I’ve driven past this place so many times and had no idea what I was missing out on. Today I stopped in here with my sister and had an outstanding lunch and experience. The outside dining area and grounds were absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I was transported to a tropical island on vacation at a beautiful five-star resort. The food was amazing, best crabcake I’ve ever had, hands-down. And the thought of the baked brie is enough to get me salivating all over again. Andre was our server, extremely helpful and pleasant with suggestions and patience with all of my indecisiveness! I can’t wait to bring back my husband and our family! Trust me when I say, do not pass this place up! ??

Great experience. We were very pleased with the food.

The three best things at this location is the chocolate mousse, coffee, and ambience. The ambience is superior to any restaurant in the area. I gave it four stars because my last visit, my food was served cold. I ordered lamb chops and the gravy was burnt even after being sent back twice. I was awarded a free chocolate mousse for my inconvenience. I ate here before and it was good. I believe the server was not paying attention and the kitchen had a bad cook that day. I will try again!

EXCELLENT, we dined outside in the tiki area. The inside and outside are both beautiful, classy and tastefully decorated. The food was awesome!!!! We had the shrimp/lobster rolls, pumpkin curry soup YUM, mango beets salad w/grilled chicken and the Erini salad w/salmon...the bread...oh lawd warm BREAD w/seasoned olive oil, CHILE-----EVERYTHING good!! Customer service was GREAT!! LOVE this place cannot wait to bring my husband and family. Worth every $😁

Great service...very clean....the place was decorated beautifully....but the food did not match up to the prices! I took 2 bites of my veal parm. You can tell when a restaurant uses shredded bagged mozzarella as the "parm" on a meal that it's not going to be that great. Our Caesar salad was very bland. It looks like a great place to go have some drinks at the bar but not food.

Amazing food and great service! We are never disappointed when dining here. Always memorable for all the right reasons!

First time there . Me and girlfriend were so impressed by this place . Lovely decorative mixing the old with be the new inside & out . Wonderful waitstaff our lunch was out of this world . Even the vegetable garnishment was tasty. We had a view of the back yard you can rent Please go there eat and be happy . Oh and ask for Prudence .

My fiance and I loved the service we received from everyone especially Kaylee. She was an awesome server! Our food & drinks were delicious. We had their raw tuna, lobster rolls and calamari. I absolutely loved their strawberry drink I believe it was called Frozzet. We had the best outdoor dining experience. We'll be back again.

Came here last night & the food was DELICIOUS. The service was Outstanding and the atmosphere was Beautiful. We ordered the filet mignon, salmon stuffed with crab, a caprese salad and mango madness refreshments. All of them, including the drinks, were to die for. Cooked to perfection all the way down to the side order of carrots that came with the filet mignon. Perfect for date night. Will be returning again!

My server Lynette was everything she was exceptional , management is always great atmosphere you can't beat and is always clean. delicious food always I am never disappointed.

First time for us, certainly will not be the last! The ambiance, food, and staff was an incredible experience!

Erini is a case in point for the fact that everyone is going out to eat. We dined on a Tuesday night at 6:00 and the place was already hopping. It's not like this place is inexpensive. That didn't seem to stop anyone. Appetizers are around $12-$15, salads are around $15 and entrees are $28 and up to near $60 for a steak. Drinks range from $6 for real beers (not lite beers) to $13 for a glass of wine. Mixed drinks are around $13 (try the habinaro mule or any of the mango cocktails). Wines are your typical 3x retail but the pours are generous. We had the shrimp appetizer kwhich was really nice) and the meatballs which despite underwhelming texture had an excellent sauce. The arugula salad was plentiful (enough for two) but lacked flavor. Our entrees (mixed grill and veal parm) were again plentiful but lacked the characteristics which woild.make it worthy of the price. Service was attentive and helpful. The patio has a really nice ambiounce with good table spacing.

Love the look of this restaurant - both inside and outside. Warm and cozy in the restaurant, fun and vibrant in the bar and tropical and festive in the Tiki bar during the summer. Staff is always knowledgeable and friendly and I've never had a bad meal there. I even attended a birthday party in the downstairs room and had a great time. It's a cute little space!

We had a romantic night with great food. The atmosphere was beautiful, the dip was to die for I wanted to lick the plate. The entrees were tasty and the turtle cheesecake I could have had a 4 slices. Sooo good!!!

Great ambience and entrance. Awesome food. We ordered lamb chops, Mezza platter, risotto and steak. Good service. Highly recommended. Our first time however not the last.

This place is gorgeous inside and out. The atmosphere was positive and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The food was also delicious in every way. This is a beautiful place to go on a date night.

Wife and I love this place. Food is always great and the atmosphere is very romantic. It's pricey, but worth it.

Great food and service!!!!

Plenty of outdoor seating available. The service is great and so is their seafood.

Great place, menu is plentiful without being overwhelming and food was excellent. Nice inside bar and lots of room for larger groups too. The staff was friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking too.

Outside dining was great. Food is excellent

Erini is a gem of a Resturant located off of Rt29 in West Trenton, NJ. The resturant has two different dinning areas. Each with its' on vibe. The outdoor / Tiki Bar is located under a large tent that is more than just a popup tent. Well designed clean and more of a perminate structure. So don't think flimsy rental tent that flaps and has cloudy plastic windows. The inside is more of a formal dinning occasion. Dictated not by your clothing but, because of Linen Table cloths and decor with soft lighting. There are often Birthday / Anniversary / Parties in one of the party rooms. But, don't think raucous noise to disturb your dinning. But, rather a family or intimate gathering with low noise. The outside of the building has amazing plants and little pathways to move about between the outside dinning area and inside the building. So, onto the food. The dinners and desserts are of a high quality. I selected the Blackened Ahi Tuna with Coconut rice. The entire dish was created with a fruited polynesian style flavor. The Coconut flavor was infused and the rice kept a rice consistency not a creamy Risotto like base. Chopped mangos added that sweet taste with creamy mouthfeel. The inhouse made cheesecake, creme brulee are on par and made by a pastry chef / baker who is well trained and has a solid skillset. Desert and coffee can easily be an option for a late evening idea. There are two Full Service bars with specialty drinks. The bartenders are polite, fast and good at what they do. One bar inside is your standard oval with seating. The one out under the canopy / Tent has a Tiki Bar vibe. The outside dinning tables are setup around the Tiki Bar. But, not so close as to be in the way of foot traffic. And most important not too many tables are outside where you feel squished and can hear the next table conversations. Overall Erini offers positive dinning experience. The pricing is $$$ so expect to pay for quality food. The value is there so it is proportional. Market price for seafood. Lobster rolls as an appetizer are made by hand. All the food takes time to get to the table as the chef is preparing your order from scratch. So you will be pleased when a plate of freshly prepared food arrives. This restuarant is not a kid environment. There are no crayons and things to keep them occupied. No children's food on the menu. Bringing your children will detract from a great dinning experience. So leave them home and enjoy your night out. My only complaint and I had to stretch to find one. Is the pathways you can see in the photos. These paths are used by the wait staff as well as the patrons. So you have to be ready for a waiter passing by with a large tray of food or a passing table clearing heading back inside. You only have to have avoid this traffic walking inside to use the restroom or like me taking photos. I rate Erini with 5 Stars and will continue to patronize them.

Had a small private event here and Kyle worked with me to ensure everything went exactly how I'd envisioned. The meals were perfect, the staff was stellar and everyone cared for us like they would for their best friends. I'm am incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend!!!!!

Drinks and dinner were fabulous. The service from Kaya was great, her recommendations were on point .

Erini’s‘s is OK. My steak salad was good, but it was pretty much just steak and greens. An extra little punch of almonds or walnuts and maybe some kind of cranberry would’ve been a welcome addition. The wait staff was lovely. The inside bar area definitely feels a little bit like a Staten Island bar with a purple lights. Nice white table cloths would have been nice as well. I went there to try it as a possibility for an event.

Used to be my favorite place for foods and drinks but the last 2 times haven’t been as consistent as I remember Erini to be. Drinks are still stiff and great, but foods haven’t been up to par. Not sure if there’s a new chef or not but our go-to no fails dishes are octopus from the app menu and lamb. We asked for medium raw lamb and it was burnt and the octopus was also bitter from overcharring. Fresh oysters were divine and homemade crab cake was still delicious, filled with crabmeat. Overall good foods, but not consistent especially hot meals.

Decided to come with some friends on a Friday for dinner. The restaurant was clean and had a very cozy setting. We came on one of the hottest days so not sure if the air just couldn't keep up but it got progressively hotter while we were eating our meals. The calamari was delicious. I liked the two sauces and both were flavorful. The pretzel crusted grouper was seasoned perfectly and had a nice crunch. The sauce added another dimension to the meal which I appreciated. The green beans and mashed potatoes underneath were also tasty. I got the flourless chocolate cake as dessert and asked for ice cream on the side. It was extremely reach and decadent, highly recommend. The drinks were boozy and all the food and drinks came out in a timely manner. Our waiter was also kind and attentive. Overall everything was great, I only knocked off a star because it's very pricey for what it is. It's delicious but there are comparable restaurants where prices aren't as steep.

I hover between a 3 and a 4 star rating for this venue. The service is phenomenal and deserves a 5 star rating. The main courses are delicious and deserve the 4 star rating but the desserts fall flat and that's where the 3 star rating come in. The main courses were prepared and cooked excellently and tasted delicious. The seared tuna was cooked to perfection and was a great portion size. Unfortunately, dessert was disappointing. There's great selection but we didn't enjoy our selections of carrot cake and creme brulee. The carrot cake was flavourless and didn't have the warmth and sweet carrot that you're used to having. The creme brulee didn't have the classic hard top from a good torch, even though it looks like it was. The venue and ambiance of Erini is also really enjoyable, well spaced out and there's lots of room if you're coming here with a large party. I would come back here for the main dishes, the fantastic service and the ambiance but I would not order any dessert.

The food and service are spectacular. We have been coming here for years. Great bar as well. Visited again on 9/20/2023. Laura was excellent! The calamari here is among the best I've ever had. Similarly, the grouper is one of the best fish preparations I've ever tasted. Everything on the menu is great!

Such a great place for our date night. Food was phenomenal, drinks were soooo good, and our server Mitchell was outstanding. Everything was worth it, will be returning.

My husband and I were passing by and decided to stop in for a bite this past Saturday. Our server Mike was very attentive and personable. We informed him that it was our first time dining at Erini and asked him for some advice on both the food and drinks. Mike took his time to ask us a few questions to get a feel for our tastes and I can honestly say he hit the mark with every single item! I wish more servers took this much pride to ensure an exceptional dining experience. It's easy for staff to be on auto pilot and just rattle off the same 1 or 2 items but it takes a genuine interest and skill to know what to recommend. I hope the owner(s) know how lucky they are to have this ace. We will gladly be back to try a few more items Mike recommended.

Love coming to this place, its one of my home favorites. Sitting by the garden is so relaxing and beautiful to look at. The food is always to delicious

My rating is for drinks only. The bartender, Tony (I believe), was very knowledgeable and had great customer service. The place itself is really nice. I stayed in the bar section and the other customers were friendly. Just by peeking into the other rooms and at the menu, I would definitely like to go back to eat.

Great atmosphere and service! The food was delicious, but I wish they had more vegetarian and vegan options. I still had a good time there.

Vince at the tiki bar was awesome. Had the Lamb Chop appetizer-perfect! Great atmosphere-and Vince made the experience great!

The food was wonderful & staff was very friendly. Service was speedy. We didn’t wait long for anything. The ambiance of the restaurant was impeccable. My drink was even good. Margarita!! I will be back soon. Appetizers- Fresh Calamari ?? Meatballs- ??

Great food as usual in such a nice landscaped setting. Dan, our server was on point and courteous. Plus it was nice to also bump into friends like it was normal. Great experience.

Great drinks

Great food and beautifully landscaped !

My husband & I went there today for lunch for the first time. We've been there many times for dinner & always had a wonderful meal & excellent service. I was very disappointed today. Service was just fair & my veggie burger was just mediocre. I have veggie burgers in my freezer I get at the grocery store that are far better than the one I had today. My husband did like his salad. When we were seated, we were told they don't have paper menus so we should have looked at the menu online & should know what we want. Why wasn't I told this when I called & made the reservation? We will probably continue going for dinner but I doubt we'll go for lunch again. Very disappointed.

Good Mediterranean food and great outdoor seating

Fantastic! Great atmosphere, great food. I just love it!

The best!

The atmosphere and energy of this place is amazing. Its absolutley beautiful, and the food matches! The grilled octopus and seafood saffron risotto were very good! Just need to add some salt! Our server was one of the best, very friendly and knowledgeable of there food!

Just had a Pre Father’s Day dinner there and couldn’t have asked for a better time. Even though it rained most of the time our service was so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. They brought our food out in a timely manner, as well as drinks ?!!!! Our server even brought us umbrellas to help out with the rain ?. I would definitely recommend and will be going back and asking for ERICA who took such good care of us!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing food and atmosphere

fast service, very tasty, nice atmosphere! Our waiter Steven was a professional

1st time eating Raw Tuna. Was very good. In fact everything was extremely good & tasty.

The food was excellent. Our table had tomato and mozzarella, meatballs, and mussels for appetizers. Main entress included chicken franchise, and various seafood dishes. Everyone enjoyed there meal. The service was very attentive. Looking forward to returning.

Great food and service and Erini's outdoor eating was outstanding. Tables were spaced out to a comfortable 6 foot and staff wore maskes.

The food was quick and delicious. One of the best french onion soups I've ever had. The atmosphere outside is beautiful.

Worth the trip! Beautiful outdoor dining. And good food and service

was just looking for a cute place with some good seafood with patio dining and this place 100% delivered. ordered the hummus plate, sizzling chili shrimp, oysters, and king crab, absolutely everything was INCREDIBLE. the sauce the shrimp is in was so delicious, i needed extra bread to dip it. Deb was an amazing server, tending to all of our needs. will definitely be coming here again.

This was suppose to be a lump crab cake filled with bread crumbs 30.00 for a crabby platty

The KING CRAB LEGS are simply delicious.

Really wanted seafood today, great outdoor environment, to enjoy it. It was great experience beautiful outdoors no bugs to worry about. They even have fans to help keep cool. My waitress Laura was awesome provided great outstanding service.

It was great my husband and I just left from there with our friends. We Celebrated our14 anniversary during this corona virus today. The treatment was great. We loved it. You should definitely book reservations. Especially outside.
