    Food was the best part. While it didn’t wow me, everything seemed prepared well and tasted good. Table wasn’t ready by reservation time and it didn’t seem wiped down well enough when we finally got it. Overall, it’s a good restaurant in the area with good food. Just some finer details were missing so it’s a 4/5 for me.

    FThe pineapple upside down cornbread was a bit disappointing, but I got a fabulous salad. My husband & I shared the bacon-wrapped filet, which was served with sautéed spinach, smashed potatoes and a few onion ringlets. It was plenty, and the steak was the best we’ve had in decades! Will definitely return!

    I live in Orlando and when I arrived here I found out that Emeril had a restaurant here and I was very happy because I'm a super fan of his food, but the restaurant was a disappointment, the service was terrible, my reservation was at 8:30 pm and the restaurant closed at 9:00 pm, no idea at all, when it was 9:00 pm the waiters started closing the tables using a hammer while I ate a very expensive dish, I lost my hunger and left with a very bad impression

    Sitting in front of the kitchen was a gift and a curse.

    At least 5 open tables but had to wait to be seated with a reservation. 3 hostesses standing around with several dirty tables-they just seemed to have no sense of urgency or customer service. Food was good but small portions for the price. $24 redfish which was good but small and no sides included. We paid for an $8 non-alcoholic drink and also had an additional $8 bar charge and $7.24 non-cash service charge already on our bill before they knew if we were paying by cash or card. A server delivered our food and never said a word to us, just dropped off and walked away. The first time we came we had a wonderful experience and chose that as our dinner for our last night in town but paid almost $300 for 4 and were disappointed.

    I am local and we visit often. I took two first time people to Emeril’s and the food was excellent. My only issues were that it was incredibly loud!!! My elderly mother in law found it too noisy and it was loud for even myself. Also, my husband went to the restaurant at the end. It was close to closing and the cooks and waiters had barricaded the door and said out of service at first . They were smoking something in the men’s restroom. They finally opened the door and said sorry. My husband was shocked. He said the were up against the door the door so he couldn’t walk in. It was close to closing time. Overall, no complaints with our food and server!!! It was just the end…which didn’t affect our experience. Just a note

    Not the same Emeril's experience we've had in the past. Granted it was a Sunday @ 6p, but seems that they've let their guest standards slip, almost felt like we were sitting at beachside bar vs the traditional establishment of fine dining in the past. Separately we ordered raw oysters and they were without oyster forks and spoons which seems odd given the season. Generally speaking the quality of the food was just OK, the service was as expected but nothing exemplary and the QRP wouldn't be very notable.
