Rooftop

Now serving brunch features on Sundays from 10 am – 2 pm! Located on the eighth floor of The Hampton Inn & Suites on Erie’s beautiful Bayfront, Oliver’s Rooftop, treats guests with inventive and extraordinary chef-inspired cuisine served with stunning views and captivating sunsets or nature watching. Oliver’s Rooftop offers incredible vantage points of Presque Isle Bay provided by massive floor-to-ceiling glass panels. A retractable glass wall allows for open-air dining on the rooftop balcony in favorable weather. Preview the stunning sights with the Oliver’s Skyview Camera. Oliver’s Rooftop is a one-of-a-kind culinary destination that pays homage to Erie’s rich maritime history. Oliver’s is named in honor of Oliver Hazard Perry, an American naval commodore, who is most known for his heroic role in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. This battle is considered to have been the pivotal American victory in the Battle of 1812. Visitors to Oliver’s Rooftop will have the chance to view Perry’s 110-foot flagship, the US Brig Niagara, moored in her home port adjacent to the restaurant. We look forward to welcoming you to Oliver’s Rooftop for an incredible and memorable dining experience! We are grateful to the Erie community for voting us Best New Restaurant in the 2021 Erie’s Choice Awards, Best Romantic Restaurant, Best Waterfront Dining in the 2021 Best of Erie awards, and Best Overall Dining in the 2022 Best of Lake Erie awards.
