    Food is probably very good if it’s hot! Our reservation was for 8pm and we weren’t seated until almost 8:25pm. We ordered our meals and didn’t see any food until 9:12pm. The appetizers weee fantastic, we had the deviled eggs, BBQ shrimp and Boudin Balls. We waited approximately another 25 min for our entrees. One of the managers brought out the second half of our entrees after the waiter. We mentioned to him how poor the service had been, what our time line looked like for our service and that two of the meals were cold when they came out. We got the “kitchen is slammed” response, but we pointed out that tables that had been seated after us had already finished their meals. We also told him we didn’t get French fries my son had ordered. He did offer to remake our meals, but due to having a flight to catch in the morning we opted to eat what we had. After our table had been cleared, another server brought out the fries we were missing (20ish minutes after we had told the manager). We sent them back since we no longer needed them and then saw the same manager eating the fries in the kitchen. When our bill came, the manger did comp two of the entrees. However the $10 fries were still in the menu. I went to the front and asked for a different manager and after a short time our server appeared with a different bill. When the same manager showed up at the front he proceeded to argue with me that fries weren’t on the bill. I had to explain several times it was the second version of the bill. Overall a terrible experience for a higher end restaurant that has Emeril’s name associated with it!!!! Buyer beware

    We sat in the bar which was perfect for us. Amazing food! The sticky pork ribs are a must. We also had the Brussels and the meatballs. All were delicious. We wanted to try more but were full.

    Our server was great. The food took a long time to arrive and some items were missing. We ordered the fish of the day and the fish arrived without any sauces or garnishments and we had to wait another 10 minutes and then the fish was cold. Overall the food was good, not great, the portions were small and not worth the price.

    Food was tasty but portions were way too small. Left hungry. We ordered the cornbread and it was literally one small piece between two people for $9. Service was fine. Happy hour was good.
