Had an amazing time celebrating my cousin’s bday at Ernest. We had the $99 tasting menu which was great value bc it was a tremendous amount of food (4 courses) that was delicious and beautifully presented. My partner is dairy free so they surprised him with dairy free versions of specific dishes including his own shaved ice dessert made with almond milk, which made his night. The service was excellent and they had a nice selection of spirit-free drinks as well. I would def recommend for anyone looking for a unique fine dining experience. My one observation is that the menu itself looks quite minimal and doesn’t adequately represent the essence of the actual dishes.
