This was the ABSOLUTE most AWFUL SERVICE I have ever experienced at a dine-in restaurant. Our server was attentive up until we placed our order. After our order was placed he NEVER came by to see if we needed anything or even to ask if we wanted to order dessert. Perhaps because our party of 4 was not ordering alcoholic beverages, our check wasn't as high as our neighboring tables who we could obviously see were getting much more attentive service. We left a $3 tip for a bill over $200 - and I still feel we left $2.99 too much! Do NOT WASTE YOUR $$$. Food was mediocre at best. Emeril should try some quality control with his restaurants. - a FORMER Emeril fan

• Pros: good menu selection, good sized portions
• Cons: AWFUL service, horrible service

Eclectic Dining

As a huge fan of Emeril Lagasse, I asked my husband to take me to Emeril's for our five year anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. The food was good and the portions were overwhelmingly large. If you plan to eat dessert, don't plan to eat your entire entre. And..........speaking of dessert, it was superb. We would like to return to Emeril's sometime but after dropping $100 on lunch, it will only be for another special occasion.

• Pros: parking, location, service
• Cons: expensive, hard to get in

My wife and I have eaten here several times. Good food. No, great food! The service was a bit off this last time, but I think it was a fluke. Make reservations months in advance, or you'll never get in! Our biggest complaint is that huge long walk through hundreds of sweaty tourists. Oh well, can't have it all!

• Pros: great food, Emeril, wine list
• Cons: service, long long walk, sweaty tourists

BAM!!!!

We ate dinner at Emeril's twice in one week last summer! It was incredible! There were 4 of us and we eac ordered something different so we could sample a variet of offerings. No one was disappointed. We made those reservations 3 mos in advance. The second night I ordered the whole lobster #lbs STUFFED with lobster and huge shrimp. It costs $52 and worth every penny. The banana cream pie is a must. I don't even like banana cream pie and I can assure you I won't ever eat there with out saving room for that pie.

My only complaint was that I saved a chair for Emeril and he didn't show up. Oh well......
