New Orleans history and culture has always been and remains my culinary muse. When I first opened Emeril’s doors in 1990, we aimed to bring fresh preparations and infuse creativity into New Orleans culinary traditions and culture. We continue to challenge ourselves to bring our guests an exceptional experience, inspired by the various influences of New Orleans cuisine with a focus on innovation and refinement. The chef’s tasting is curated to be a journey building upon flavors and complexities of our ingredients infused with unique modernization. For New Orleanians and visitors alike we strive to create dishes, and environments that restore and transport people, leaving them happier than when they came to us. - Chef Emeril Lagasse

    So good. We got there at 9:30pm after a 7 hour drive and they allowed us to eat dinner with jeans and a T-Shirt. Food was delicious! Had the salmon and bbq shrimp!

    Service was excellent. We had the drum lunch entree which was excellent and the chicken breast over collard greens which was very good as well. The chocolate soufflé was killer.

    We had a rough start and a broken chair but the food is delicious - service was good once we worked out the kinks.. It seems they deal with a lot of tourists

    The manager was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, instilling palpable fear into the entire wait staff as he continuously corrected everything they did wrong and berated them for it. Food was too over the top with complete lack of taste and texture subtlety on full display, even considering that it is an Emeril restaurant (does bacon really need to go on a sticky toffee bread pudding desert?). Wine by the glass hadn't breathed long enough. Ambiance was more like The Cheesecake Factory, but with a two-choice kids' menu (chicken tenders or fried shrimp, both with bog-standard french fries). Is this supposed to be a high end restaurant? The bill says yes, all else said no. Maybe if the manager relaxed, then the wait staff would too and everything would be more enjoyable than borderline comical.
