28th anniversary dinner

by richardcrogers at Citysearch

We had salads, pork chop for the missus, fish du jour for me. $85 bottle of red wine was served chilled. Overall, a better choice for the money and atmosphere would have been Fleming's. Was expecting the "wham" of Cajun inspired cooking, received at best mediocre over-priced food at best.

• Pros: Seating w/reservation
• Cons: Expensive, Food expectation

Universals best lunch

by rlewellyn at Citysearch

Disappointing for dinner, loud, crowded, rushed but GREAT at lunch! Keep in mind, though a good experience for kids, soda refills are pricey, if your child is not an adventuresome little gourmand, get a burger

• Pros: food, service, lunch
• Cons: , crowded, food court atmosphere

Twice Emeril's deceived me

by reweiss at Citysearch

My friend and I were talked into getting the "Degustation platter". We were told that we both must get the meal. Since it said $60 and all of the other meals were about $30, we figured the $60 was a meal for two. Wrong.

3 years later (it now says $60 per person) I made plans to take my girlfriend out for her birthday and invited my parents. When I made the reservation I was asked how many people are celebrating birthdays. I told her 2 people (dad too) and was told they would get the dessert of their choice. When we got dessert, they came and sang, but I still got charged for both desserts. When I said they were supposed to be complimentary, I was asked if I remember the name of the gal I made reservations with. I never have these problems at other restaurants.

• Pros: The food was tasty
• Cons: The are deceptive, food is overpriced, staff is snooty
