A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space.

    Amazingggg Mother’s Day brunch here. My mom and I loved the food and our waiter. We’ve never been here before so I felt I should take her on Mother’s Day and we were not disappointed. Originally planned to get the brunch tower and then our additional entrees but, that tower had us stuffed. Our server was very nice and very eclectic.

    We are Warehouse District residents and this Emeril’s bistro is one of our favorite restaurants. Our party of six, a pre-Mother’s Day lunch, was treated royally by the staff, and especially by Lauren and team, friendly and attentive wait service, from cocktails to appetizers, to entrees and wine, and desserts. The Salmon and Daily Fish entrees were terrific, their sauces superb, and the Ribeye entrees were perfectly cooked. Thank you for another great dining experience at Meril.

    I took a friend here for a birthday dinner. I chose it because she is a vegetarian and there were many options. The food was delicious, but I feel everything was a bit too slick with olive oil. I enjoyed the shrimp with the Calabrian chiles and the soft shelled crab risotto. She enjoyed a house salad and the pesto pasta. No fresh ground pepper was offered with the salad and the espresso was served in a giant coffee mug which we both found odd. The zeppole for dessert were magnificent. Overall beautiful interior, friendly service and delicious food.
