   We just love this place. Not cheap, but excellent quality. We had crudo, tartarre, broccoli, cacio e pepe, and bread - skipped entrees - totally enough for 3 people. Had the chocolate (potato) chip desert and a citrus sorbet. All of it was divine. We don’t go often because of the $ but it has been a favor it since they opened and continues to be.

   My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Emmer & Rye. They treated us to some celebratory champagne, which was really thoughtful. The wait staff was on top of their game, respectful, and really helpful all around. Don’t even get me started on the food! We got five courses (4 mains + dessert + wine), and it was under $170 (this is after tax and tip). The quality and presentation was fabulous. They also take a great deal of consideration for dietary restrictions, which is a definite plus. If you are celebrating a special occasion and you want to have a nice dining experience that doesn’t seem over the top, then Emmer & Rye is the place for you.

   Emmer & RyeResponded on January 30, 2023Hey guys, this is Alex the Maitre d' at Emmer...thank you SO much for sharing this awesome feedback! I'm so glad you had such a great time. Looking forward to celebrating with y'all again!

   The food was overpriced and full of noncomplex flavors, which is a bummer because the place and service were good. Will not return. Skip it if you can.

    Great quality and preparation- love the focus on sustainable farming. The only issue is the portions are far too small especially since the theme is sharing dishes. Take the vegetable dishes. The carrot dish should be more than 4 carrots and why such a skimpy portion of cabbage? And the bread- which is delicious. But four slices for $17? What this spare serving does is make everyone feel guilty for fear of taking too much and leaving last person(s) with nothing to eat. Creates awkward situation.

    It was freezing and they put us on the patio. We had to share one grand heater with another table. I asked to be moved to a table with more cover but they said all where booked however at two remained open during our stay. The food was great

I felt compelled to comment letting you know we have new patio furniture in the works, so hopefully the current chairs will be a thing of the past very soon! Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

    The staff was very professional yet friendly and welcoming. I felt like the service was at a Michelin starred restaurant level (and I’ve been to few). Food was amazing. Went with the Gulf of Mexico set menu and I was definitely happy with my choice! I’m not a food critic so this opinion is solely based on my taste… There were probably two out of 12-15 dishes that I felt was not caching up to the same standard as the rest, but at the same time I was amazed by probably about 9-11 other parts of the set menu. It was something new, unexpected and just pure delicious. Overall - I’ll be back again for sure for another monthly set menu. Cannot wait to discover what they come up with next! I shouldn’t say that, because they probably read all those comments… But did I mention the price for such an amazing experience?! It’s a bargain! Come here quickly, before they realize that they should charge more 😉

    This used to be our absolute favorite restaurant with odd, yet amazing combinations of flavors. Our last experience was average. The food was just ok, nothing great like I’ve had in the past. Our waiter was great, but the rest of the staff was incredibly uppity and not very friendly. This might be the last time we visit for a while

    Food was very good, but super tiny portions. Not the best place for more than two people, as sharing these dishes doesn’t really work (everyone gets barely a bite) Our waiter was nice but at the beginning of the meal I made it super clear to him that I hate cilantro so please make sure no dishes have it, he said no problem and then proceeded to bring every dish with a hefty amount of cilantro on it. We had desserts on recommendation of the waiter - the cheesecake was good, but again, TINY, and we had some sort of ice cream with chocolate potato chips - the dish was so salty it was inedible. A very expensive dinner and we left hungry.

    I had been here many times in the past and the resturant seems to be declining, and I don’t see myself coming back again honestly after this visit. Not only have the prices skyrocketed, but the dishes no longer have as much uniqueness as they once did. Austin now just has so many other restaurants trying new things and Emmer and Rye seems to have lost its touch.

    The NYE dinner experience was disappointing. Despite the outstanding food amazingly sourced locally, I cannot rate it higher than a two because of all the other factors of the experience. Considering the cost, and having a party of six along with the wine pairing, the service was beyond terrible. Sure they made every attempt to be engaging and friendly, however the unacceptable rate of speed at which they described each dish and moved onto the next course was just plain rude. Near the completion of the experience (a little over an hour—entirely too fast), several servers and floor staff abruptly tried to move us out to the patio before the entire party completed their meal and drinks— one with an unbelievable insolent tone.
