It's my favorite splurge in town, so when my birthday weekend rolled around, this is where I chose to spend it... with a vegan cheese wheel (the dates that come with should be eaten at the same time as the cheese and you'll feel like you're eating some caramelized magic. And when Mardi Gras Day rolled around a couple weeks later, as per my tradition, we had brunch here.

They were out of quite a few bottles, but there was still a wide selection. The service was very thoughtful, with the owner serving most of the tables herself. She was even kind enough to give us free glasses of Champagne while our bottle cooled. You will feel cared for here. The real standout though was the food. We had caviar topped deviled eggs, caviar serving, and a wheel of deliciously melted cheese. Everything was gorgeously presented and Instagram worthy. The deviled eggs were incredible. My sister said they were one of the best things she's eaten and she's not a fan of deviled eggs. The caviar was great (of course). The cheese was also excellent and included dates that were remarkably good. The ambiance is very cute. Simple and clean aesthetics that are refined but lightly adorned.

The order includes 4 beignets with four distinct sauces.

This was our first experience with a multi-course menu, so we had a lot of questions. Our server spoke so quietly that we could barely hear him, and instead of helping us understand how everything worked, we left feeling confused. I'm a picky eater, so I asked more than once if I could order the steak I saw on the menu, but I never received a clear explanation that it wasn't an option. Instead, I had to choose first, second, third, and fourth courses that I didn't even like because (i thought those were my only choices). I ended up eating only the appetizers and none of the chef's complimentary dishes. My boyfriend only really enjoyed one of his courses and the appetizers. I simply wanted a nice dinner to celebrate my birthday, but instead I left disappointed, hungry, and feeling like the experience did not come close to matching the price tag of over 250!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emeril was bursting onto the TV scene as a national phenomenon... and my first visit to Emeril's would be followed by many others over the years. New Orleans... Las Vegas... Orlando (many times). They were always terrific. Yet none were quite like my recent visit to the "new" Emeril's experience, featuring a rebuilt dining room, an elevated tasting menu only, and now directed by Emeril's uber-talented son, E.J. Lagasse. The room is beautiful, everyone's dressed to match the refined atmosphere, and when the reservation advised to "allow 3.5 hours for the full dining experience", they meant it! It's a six-course powerhouse dinner, and the listed dishes are just the start. Endless surprises come from all directions, with multiple servers bringing all sorts of delights from start to finish. Many pay homage to classic New Orleans dishes, such as a bite-sized barbecue shrimp tart, or a seafood almondine. As you dine, it's fascinating to watch the entire open kitchen right through clear floor-to-ceiling glass, with E.J. supervising it all at the pass, as he and his team prepare every morsel meticulously. Just a few of the dishes I enjoyed... The Smoked Salmon Cheesecake - Petrossian Kaluga Caviar, Dill Oyster Stew - Herbsaint Cream, Foie Gras, Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms Trout Almondine - Green Beans, Potato Red Snapper & Scallop - Kaluga Caviar, Smoked Chicken, Radicchio Boudin - Collard Greens, Hamhock, Creole Jus Gras White Sand Homestead Duck - Beets, Kumquat, Fennel SnoBall, Banana Cream Pie, Caramel As my meal came to a close, I was blown away when E.J. came out and we had a nice chat for five minutes or so. What a talented, funny and kind young man. And hats off to his remarkable team, led by Emilie Van Dyke - Chef de Cuisine; Riley McDonnell - Executive Sous Chef; and Charlie Jarrett - Sous Chef. Overall, I'd say perfect food, perfect wine-pairing, perfect service. Emeril's deserves their 2 Michelin stars. I cannot recommend it highly enough for a special occasion dinner.

We had not shared any meals together for over 48 hours prior to this dinner. Approximately 8 hours after eating, we were both violently ill and vomiting by around 1:30 a.m. I contacted management afterward to make them aware of what happened. The response I received was, "We're sorry you feel this way and we are starting an internal investigation." There was no apology or meaningful concern expressed during the call. The overall interaction felt defensive and dismissive from the beginning. As someone working in the industry, I was surprised by the lack of empathy and basic hospitality shown when we reported becoming seriously ill after dining there. This was the worst dining experience I have had, not only because of the illness afterward but also because of how the situation was handled.
