Food was good, interior is setup like a bistro. The problem was the service. We had to wait too long for each step of service with the restraint not being close to full. It was during June so maybe they had a server shortage once all the CSU kids left.

Hi Matthew, Thank you for the kind words on the food, we’re glad to hear that hit the mark. I’m truly sorry the service fell short. Whether we're packed or quiet, every guest deserves to feel taken care of without delay. We’re addressing the pacing issues you experienced, and I appreciate you giving us the chance to see where we missed. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back and show you a smoother experience.

This is the second time I have been here and it has been wonderful both times. The muscles are to die for and the prime rib was thick juicy and wonderful. My daughter-in-law also loved the chicken and said it had a wonderful taste. We will absolutely be back
The Emporium: An American BrasserieResponded on June 14, 2025
Debby, We're so glad to have welcomed you back and even happier to hear the meal was a hit all around. Thank you for the kind words — we’ll make sure the mussels and prime rib are just as good next time. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

I like the location and decor, and the service was very good. But I think the kitchen isn’t aiming for high standards. My Beef Wellington was touted as the special of the day, and claimed to be medium rare, but it was cooked closer to medium well, and the meat seemed more like chipped beef than the beef tenderloin I expected. The asparagus that accompanied it was stringy and very thin. Something a home chef would even avoid buying. I feel that the written menu made promises that the kitchen couldn’t deliver on. Additionally, it was very loud, so much so that we wrapped up early because my wife had a headache from the noise.
The Emporium: An American BrasserieResponded on June 14, 2025
Bill, Thank you for taking the time to share this. While I’m glad the service and space made a good impression, it’s clear the kitchen missed the mark for you — and that’s not something we take lightly. When a dish is featured as a special, it should feel exactly that. We’re reviewing your feedback with our culinary team to make sure what we promise on the menu is matched by what lands on the plate. I’m also sorry the volume in the room affected your evening. We’re working on ways to better manage that during peak hours. I appreciate your honesty and the chance to improve.

The service was outstanding but the food was not. Steak was supposed to be medium but came out well done. 2 dishes came to the table cold and the grits in the shrimp and grits were to hard a consistency.
The Emporium: An American BrasserieResponded on June 14, 2025
Jennifer, Thank you for the kind words about the service — we’re proud of the team for taking good care of you. I’m sorry the food didn’t meet the same standard. A missed temperature and cold plates aren’t acceptable, and we’re addressing both with the kitchen. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate the chance to do better.

Service was not exceptional, almost "cold", the manager was seemed energized but the staff was not.

Tim, Thank you for joining us and for sharing your experience. I’m sorry the service felt cold — that’s not the tone we aim for, and we’ll be addressing it with the team. Your note about the contrast between management and staff is helpful, and we appreciate the opportunity to close that gap. We hope to give you a warmer welcome next time.

My 1st thought is WOW! When it comes to how I would like to describe what we enjoyed at this restaurant, I would like to go alphabetically, and I will start with the letter "E" EVERYTHING. Seriously, the service was exceptional, food was fantastic with a great variety of exquisite dishes, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We will be back for sure and we highly encourage anyone looking for a somewhat fancy but low-key establishment then this is your spot to visit. Cannot wait to enjoy another meal there with the family. This was for a Mothers day brunch. So happy we selected this spot. Enjoy!!!

Jay, Wow right back at you. Thank you for such a fun and thoughtful review. We're honored to have been part of your Mother's Day celebration and thrilled that everything—from the food to the feel of the space—hit the mark. We can't wait to have you and your family back again soon.

Great place for a good meal. Ambiance is amazing. Service was warm and friendly. Beets and Berries salad was very nice, Clam chowder was amazing. Muscles were....well, I'd skip those. This was our first time here and we'll be back many times in the future.

My daughter didn’t like her dish (eggplant rigatoni) but she never likes to complain so she just pushed it aside. Staff was friendly and my dish was good (salmon a bit over done and dry).
