From the restaurant:
"Chef Erwin Drechsler, whose restaurant was quickly acclaimed by Bon Appetit as one of the top 10 in the country to open in 1994, never planned to name the restaurant after himself. It was one of his best customers who suggested its name. 'Call it Erwin, it's you.' So he did, but with a lower case e, which happens to speak volumes about Erwin and his wife and business partner Cathy. ... They opened erwin to critical acclaim, featuring Urban Heartland cuisine, which reflects America's melting pot of cultures and cuisines."
Full bar. Serving dinner Tue–Sun. Sun brunch 10:30 am–2 pm. Closed Mon.
