We Tried to Find Erie, Pennsylvania’s Best Seafood Restaurants, and These 13 Made the Cut
A good seafood meal in Erie, Pennsylvania can come with a bay view, a lively downtown setting, or a table that makes an ordinary evening feel special. With Lake Erie nearby and Presque Isle Bay shaping the waterfront, the city offers plenty of places where the setting is part of the fun. But choosing a restaurant takes more than spotting water through a window. You also want food that fits your taste, prices that suit your budget, and a dining room where your group feels comfortable. This list brings together waterfront favorites, neighborhood taverns, polished dining rooms, and casual spots known for seafood options.

Van Scoter said it has always been her goal to renovate the Dinor while adding her own touch to it. After being closed for a couple of weeks in October,
