    Our party of 3 ordered 3 different meals: salmon w/lobster risotto (outstanding!), pan seared haddock w/risotto (delicious!) and steak tips (slightly overcooked, but so tender). Everything was wonderful. Service is outstanding. Never rush you.

    my brother introduced me to Emerald Rose several years ago, and it's my favorite place to go. I like the menu but the price on the scallops kinda shocks you. I got 5 scallops, for 35 dollars, yikes. I'm still hungry. But the service is great, the food is good, what else can you ask for"

    We had a meal -late lunch -during St. Patrick's Day weekend. Our server, Patricia, was delightful, the portions were generous and the apple crisp dessert was stellar
