   Arrived at restaurant to find all dark with sign noting “closed due to staffing”. While that is understandable in the current situation, not advising people with reservations of this is not. A simple email or text would have allowed us time to make alternate plans for the evening.

   We have visited Emmett’s many times. It was sad to see it so empty….Covid has really impacted the restaurant industry. We had a great server, who was also the bartender. Food served promptly and was good.

   It was a good dining experience. Our server was exceptional. She gave us space when we needed it but was still very attentive to our needs. Very good experience.

   We had a great experience at Emmett’s in Wheaton. Food was excellent. It is a great setting. The only thing I wanted to mention is that you have this great setting but The lighting does little to accentuate and show off such a great setting. The lighting fixtures have different types of lighting (daylight vs interior color temperatures). Overall lighting is too bright. The rooms (dining room and bar) would look much more appealing at a lower light level. Of course these things can be overlooked because the food and service is so good. It’s just a shame that with just a little attention to tweaking the lighting good add so much more to the dining experience.

   There’s a reason this place was dead on a Friday evening at 7pm… there are far superior restaurants in walking distance. What should be a terrific venue has become a complete bore. The service was slow, despite the place being pretty empty but still having plenty of staff. The menu is flat out awful in both variety and execution. No dinner specials, and really nothing but overly battered deep fried offerings and burgers. My $20 fish and chips entree looked like something off the kids menu, basically just a pile of tasteless French fries, a couple of oversized fish sticks, and the most bland coleslaw I’ve ever tried. This venue is too beautiful for this sort of nonsense. Revamp the menu and find some excitement for what you’re offering. Pub food doesn’t have to be uninspired. Lighten up on the beer batter, serve a reasonably sized piece of fish, and add some statement sides like mashed peas with mint, herb crusted potato wedges and a flavorful remoulade. Let your chef have a little fun with some inventive specials (or find a new one). And for heavens sake, 86 that awful coleslaw.

   Terrific place to grab a decent meal and watch the game… the walleye bites were very tasty and the new red wine burger was flavorful and a nice change for burger fans. The prime rib was exceptional… perfectly cooked and great accompaniments. Very nice meal to watch the Red Sox crush the Astros!

   The burgers were to die for. Their spinach artichoke dip is the best I’ve ever had!
