"BAM!". What can I say, it's an Emeril restaurant- food is always great and service is beyond perfect. I prefer the atmosphere here over NOLA because there's less tourists but I still prefer Commanders. Nothing beats Commanders.…
Excellent food. Good lunch special..
Had an excellent lunch with my wife. Made me wish I was in NO for a few more days so I could go back! I had a lunch special which featured an appetizer, an entree, and dessert for just under $20. I
had the Oysters Julia as well as a tomato soup. Both were OUTSTANDING. My entree was the duck confit over toast. It was not what I expected, but tasted pretty good. My wife ordered the veal sandwich and I have to say that it was one of the best steak sandwiches I've ever had. Our dessert was the vanilla creme brulee.. I am biased with creme brulee as I can't remember the last time I didn't like one. :o)
Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone who is not afraid to try different things. The menu can be intimidating to someone who does not eat out often.…
Graeat dining experience.. The lamb ribs and the rabbit are superb. Try to reserve seats at the chef's table to experience the excitements in the kitchen. It certainly was a costly meal, but with the down to earth service and sublime food, this foodie was very satisfied.…
Bad service fair food over rated.
My family and I ate at Emeril's a few nights ago and after driving more than seven hours I was expecting something really outstanding since it concidered one of New Orleans finest restaurants. I was
disapointed. For starters our waiter seemed unusre of himself and was slow and unatentive. We had to make requests to him repeatedly since he often forgot the first time we asked. He was slow and just seemed to lack the skills it takes to be a waiter in a really good establishment. This in itself was enough to tarnish the experince, but when the food came out it got worse.
My wife ordered the flat iron steak and it was dry (ordered medium rare) tough and tasteless. It absolutely blew me away. There was nothing fancy of flavorfull about it. It was just a bad steak. The potatoes were the only thing on her plate that were good. I had the mushroom soup for an apetizer. It was good but nothing special. I had the saffron dusted shrimp entree and again it was good but not anything better thatn you could get at any chain seafood place. Everyone else at the table also had mixed reviews about thier food. Some really good, some fair, some not so good. The deserts were very good.
Over all for the prices I felt that Emeri's was highly over rated. The portions were very small (I only got 5 shrimp). Emeril's is doing very well because of his name and television exposure. If you want great food, go to Commander's Palace. You will get your moneys worth.…
Not that good..... I hae been there twice now, and haven't been impressed either time. Service was good, wine list was large but WAY overpriced. I had a ribeye last night, and the meat itself wasn't that good - and then they put some blue cheese on top of it to make it special or something - all it really did was make it not very good. ( and I like blue cheese).…
