Emeril's

The revamped menu is absolutely incredible. We did the seasonal tasting menu and were blown away by both the quality and presentation. EJ is doing something really special here. The service was above and beyond. It was no doubt one of the best dining experiences we have had in New Orleans. 10/10 across the board.

11/3/2023 update: Remodeled space with classics and seasonal tasting menu! A warming atmosphere, professional staff, and outstanding eating experience. Upon initial seating, discussion of dining allergies or preferences and other introductions, guests are invited to the kitchen to meet Chef EJ who will explain all the food offerings, where and how they are locally sourced items and raised, and incorporated into the symphony of food preparation. Chef EJ and Chef de cuisine Josh masterfully orchestrate their team behind a wall of glass for all patrons to observe. We were treated to a delightful experience by the team of the 2 Jason's, Mason, Justin, and Brandon. 2022: Wonderful tasting menus for refined dining.

Dinner in New Orleans - Blue Cheese Dip, BBQ Gulf Shrimp, and Banana Pie! 🦐 First of all the ambience was great as being in New Orleans it brought the feel of being in the South. The southern hospitality by the bartender and server was absolutely great. Being this close to the golf, you definitely have to get the BBQ Gulf Shrimp. This dish did not disappoint at all. A great way to finish it off was with a Banana Pie. This definitely was a staple of this place as I could not believe how good it was. A must get dessert if you come to this restaurant.

The blue crab gumbo was excellent. I have very high standards for blue crab, having grown up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and the crab meat at Emeril's was outstanding. But my favorite part of the meal was the banana cream pie. I'll return just for that. I didn't love the endive salad-- thought it needed a hint of sweetness from a pear or apple. But I think that was a matter of personal preference and does not change my 5 star rating. The service was impeccable, from the minute you walked in the door. Everything lived up to my expectations.

Bucket list moment! Back in the day when Emeril used to have his show on the food network I dreamed of being able to sit at the chefs table and try his food. And now I actually was able to experience his dishes. From the start of our visit I felt so special, it was our anniversary and birthday celebration so we receibed complimentary appetizers and desserts. We also received a personalized card. The presentation of the food was great. Our servers were great. The food was great. I can be very picky and reserved about trying things and when I tell you I ate every drop of everything served, I mean it. Will 100% recommend that everyone should experience this atleast once!

Food was delicious. Though like with most fancy restaurants... The portion size leaves a little something to be desired compared to the price you're paying. Ate off the Salon Menu which is essentially a fixed menu. Got the five cheeses, marinated olives, bread and butter for the appetizers. The cheeses were absolutely delicious. Not a fan of olives. But the rest of my group said they were very good. Ordered the blue crab gumbo for dinner. Absolutely amazing! Sadly, I feel there just wasn't enough for it to be the entree. Where Emeril's really shined for me was the dessert. I got the Smore option. It was reasonably sized, priced, and it was decadent. Very rich to where when I was done, I was done. All and all a great place. But... Your wallet is much lighter after.

My wife and I went recently for our wedding anniversary. This was our first time here and we were quite happy with the service and the food. My wife had a seven course sampler while I had a 3 course meal with an addition of bbq shrimp. We didn’t have a bad flavor that night! We were also gifted smaller samples of other foods and at the end, they presented us with a dish for our anniversary. Highly recommend a reservation as far in advance as possible. We will certainly be going again!
