    Seated 15 minutes late, rushed through dinner, entrées came before appetizers. Need more experienced waiters and servers. Disappointed in general.

    Although our food was all very delicious the service left us with a bad feeling at the end of the meal. We were sat outside and we felt as though the timing between each new step was so long. We were never checked on therefore the opportunity to ask for more water, another round of drinks, or even desserts ever occurred. It was not very busy as we could see so many open tables. When we received our two bills, they were wrong. We knew if we waited any longer to get them corrected, our children (7 & 10) were going to have a full meltdown. If service had been what we have experienced in the past or what we have come to expect I would have provided a 5.

    Went for Father's day, drove almost 2 hours to get to the establishment and found it was well worth the time and money. We were extremely pleased. I gave 3 stars for value because this is not a value restaurant. Emeril's Costal is an experience that is worth its value. Everything in the restaurant is of a high quality and served beautifully. The staff was attentive and friendly and the menu is not over crowded. They do a few things very well.

    Emeril's Coastal for years was a destination place for us when visiting, which is a few times a year. But it seems much has changed over the past year. For starters, it took a long time to be seated when there were plenty of options. We opted for a high top table in the bar area, with all 5 tables open. No reason it took 20 minutes to sit. Took about another 20-30 minutes to get our drink order for 3 of us. Our app's came out before the drinks, which I've never experienced there. Food was fresh as always, but portions seemed much smaller than before. For a place that wants to be upscale, has everything al la carte, I feel for an almost $300 meal very underwhelmed. Not sure if we'll return in future sadly.

    Sat as soon as we walked in for our reservations. Had 2 tasty cocktails and shrimp cocktail & a wedge to start. Husband had the whole Snapper fish with crab and I had the crusted red fish. Both dishes were super yummy and fresh. Finished with a delicious key lime pie!

    Awful evening....from the hostess debacle, slow service, okay food and out of filet mignon at an Emeril's restaurant. Wow...sad. Maybe an off night for them. You could see staff was ill-prepared to handle. Not an enjoyable evening.

    We had another outstanding experience at Emeril's. The drinks, food, and service were excellent, as always. As regular customers, we have consistently enjoyed top-notch dining experiences here. It's unfortunate that some disgruntled tourists have left negative reviews, but we have never encountered any of the issues they mentioned. Emeril's remains our go-to spot on Grand Boulevard.

    Great restaurant and service. Our wedge salad was fantastic but he fish portion in the fish and chips was a little sparse (only one piece of fish) and wasn't as flavorful as we thought. We asked for salt but they couldn't find any at first (surprising at a restaurant!). When they brought it none would come out--maybe it was outside and the humidity got to it?

    Food was delicious. Took a long time to get our food and the portions were shockingly small, very overpriced. If it had been advertised as one of the $$$$ restaurants with a dress code, linen tablecloths, where you are expected to order 3-5 courses, etc, we could’ve had different expectations and would not have gone there with our family. We ordered 2 appetizers to share amongst our party of 7 in addition to our meals…had to go home and eat leftovers bc we were still hungry.
