We had a good experience. Waitress came to our table right after being seated with menus and took drink orders. She periodically checked on us without being intrusive. She was able to answer all our questions on the menu. They had a tasting menu and quite a few specials in addition to their regular menu. Food took a little longer than expected but it was great. We had the fresh grilled grouper and pan seared redfish with 3 sides, green beans, slaw and hush puppies. All were good and large portions. Split peanut butter pie for dessert which was very good. Restaurant was not full. Only thing to note was entree prices for fish seem high given no sides come with it, and many of the sides were pricey although are sized large enough to share. We usually go once or twice a year and will continue to return.

The food both in quality and preparation is outstanding, the seafood platter and shrimp toast especially. Some items seem very pricey, however, such as $75 for a whole red snapper.

The food was delicious! We had the pineapple upside down cornbread with bacon for an appetizer … how does Emeril come up with these flavors, but they work perfectly together! The fettuccine with almonds and the ricotta stuffed pasta was nicely done too. The absolute best.. the tiramisu… best ever! And we got sparklers and cotton candy surprise for our anniversary!

I have always enjoyed Emeril's restaurants in Vegas. We decided to have a last-minute dinner at one in Destin. We were not disappointed. Thank you all for the great service and a superb meal!

Emeril’s never disappoints!! Whether dining or enjoying a cocktail at the bar, the quality of food and service is outstanding. When the menu changes, the new items are always a welcomed, surprise. The casual, light and airy atmosphere is a delight.

We love Emerils when we are at our home here in Sandestin and usually go once a week. I was bummed to learn they will not have King Crab legs anymore as that “was” one of my favorites there.
