   Poor food (frozen hamburger patties) and I uninteresting salad. Quality of ingredients seemed like low-grad Cisco.

   Emerson’sResponded 2 days agoHello, I'm terribly sorry that you did not enjoy your meal. The beef for our patties is hand ground in house, and sourced from a local family farm in Irwin, and we do not have an account with Cisco. Please reach out to me at info@marketstreetgrocery so that I might be of assistance to you.

   Out celebrating with my BFF and the dinner at Emerson’s was fantastic! Great ambiance, wonderful service and delicious food. Our server, Marcus, was friendly and outgoing, explained the beverage and dinner menu, made some excellent recommendations and was just overall fabulous! We never felt rushed or neglected. We ordered a couple starters - the charcuterie board (yummy), the burrata, and corn bread (excellent - a must order). My friend had the sirloin for her entree and immediately texted her fiancé to let him know they were coming back so he could try it. I had the salmon & it was cooked perfectly! I will definitely be going back!

   It took 30 minutes for our drinks (1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 cocktail), 1 hour for the food, and they brought out one wrong entrée which took an additional 15 minutes to replace.

   We had drinks at the bar first before we sat at the table for our reservation. The 3 of us enjoyed our cocktails. We decided to order only appetizers since it was our first time being at the place. We really liked all of them! We got the burata, mussels, crispy Brussels sprouts, truffle fries and tuna poke. We will likely visit again when in town!

    In all honesty I don’t have a complaint about my experience at Emerson’s, it was top notch but not snobby, food was delicious but not pretentious, wait staff was absolutely charming, ambiance was delightful but not disarming. We loved our dinner and we loved our drinks and we had a great time.

    I think they really need to invest in some sound absorbing panels. If you walk in and see tables setup of 8+, ask to be seated at the bar. You can eat there and it’s a lot easier to have a conversation without others yelling in your ear.

    My husband and I made reservations for this restaurant for our anniversary. We were not even acknowledged by a server for almost 20 minutes after we sat down for this reservation. They were not busy, only about 3 other tables were seated when we were there. The drinks were not very good. I was very disappointed. The restaurant itself was cute but I would not recommend.

    Everyone in my party of 5 raved about their drinks and dinners. The cornbread with strawberry jam could have been a dessert. The beat salad was excellent. My friends enjoyed the charcuterie and roasted brussel sprouts. One had the butternut squash penne and said it was the best meal she's ever had. We will definitely go again! Wait staff fantastic in helping us choose drinks. Kentucky apple cider with BOURBON was so good.

    I had the small plate Tuna Poke, I felt the balance of flavors was a little off with too much Nori. The Tuna itself was not the best and somewhat stringy. So unpleasant as it's raw, don't believe this was Sushi grade, left a lot in the bowl and was tempted to return it and order something else. Needed a better balance of ingredients , more Avocado and another crunchy ingredient would help. The macadamia nuts would be better chopped rather than whole to create a more pleasing mouthful as the whole nut detracted from everything else. Also roasting the nut first would intensify it's flavor as without roasting it's somewhat bland. My husband had the pork sandwich and truffle fries. We had the fried olives as starter. Both the Fries and Olives were over fried and I also think the oil needs to be changed as although not burnt they had an "old, dark" taste, whereas with fresh oil they would be light and crispy.

    Not bad. Not great. Waitress was super. Arrived on time. Steps to restaurant were surprising! Super high pitch. And lots of them. Ouch. Tables are somewhat close together. Mostly 2-tops. Fireplace was great addition to atmosphere. Husband’s drink needed to be remade. Only was a rum & coke. Food was good but seemed a bit pricey. Had pasta vodka & house chicken sandwich. Chicken was dark meat. Humph. Usually is white meat. Truffle fries were recommended by waitress & good. Asked for Lettuce & tomato - was xtra ( for chix sandwich ). Surprised at that. Drinks were about as much as meal. Over $70. No apps. No desert. 1/drink each. Probably not a repeat for us.

    First time at Emerson's. Located in Market Square. My wife and I walked by the entrance. So I called for help in locating. The person I spoke with actually came out to where we were to lead us to the restaurant. Because of the Christmas Village being set up, it was a little confusing. I was impressed. Everyone was friendly and the noise level was just right. Too many times we can't hear ourselves talk when we have been to other restaurants. Enjoyed my old fashioned cocktail and my wife had a nice selection of wines to pick from. The food was excellent. From the Burrata to the main course through to dessert. I had the salmon and my wife the crab cakes. Will definitely be back.

They were able to accommodate our larger group of diners easily. I'll definitely be back for a more intimate meal in the future.

    The waitress had noticed the note on the reservation about one guest requiring gluten free food. She was very knowledgeable including food fried in the same oil as gluten containing food. My only (minor) complaint is that the restaurant is difficult to locate due to poor signage.

    We like to go to this place for drinks but this time we tried the food and is not good at all. We had a reservation but we never got our table so we sit at the bar to wait but we end up having dinner at the bar which make very difficult the conversation in the group because we weren’t close enough to each other.

    Charcuterie board was very ordinary to plain and with uninspiring selections; two entrees - steak and pork chop - very middle of the road at best; no differentiating taste in any of the vegetables. Bathroom was out of paper towels early in the evening.
