What people say, in short
Emeril's draws praise for its tasting menus, with one diner calling the Classics tasting menu one of the best meals they have had in the city and another describing every course as impressive. Two people single out dishes, naming the double cut pork chop and BBQ shrimp. One diner notes the wine bar is a good option for those not doing the full tasting menu, and another suggests it for a big night out if the budget allows. It is a pricey, special-occasion kind of place.
