    Everything about Emerson’s fully exceeded my already high expectations. It feels like the type of restaurant that gets you “cool points” just for knowing about it — the interior feels almost like the inside of someone’s swanky Manhattan loft. Service was excellent, well-paced, engaged, easy. The food was also remarkable (must try, surprisingly, was the cornbread biscuit). Overall, highly recommended.

    The restaurant was beautiful, the service was quick, the staff were attentive and super friendly, and the food was reasonably priced and delicious. I ordered the dry wine flight and ended up purchasing 2 bottles to go. My partner and I had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner and I am certain that I will be back again. Thank you Wine Cave!

    An absolutely great visit! I've never been and was looking for new places to try for Valentine's/Self-Love Day, lol. I was late for my reservation (I did call to make them aware) and they were still able to accommodate me -- nice customer service. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Scott. He's a sweetheart and served me a couple Sparkling Comsos -- yumm. For my dinner, I got the Scottish Salmon cooked medium. It was made perfectly! The accoutrements were delish as well. Abby(ie) made sure I was tended to throughout. Very nice experience in a beautiful space with matching vibes.

    Our server, Meaghan, was terrific as usual, and she made an outstanding wine recommendation. The jámon Serrano with almonds and the scallops crudo were superb. Fun experience once again.
