Emeril'S (New Orleans)

At a conference at MGM and decided to eat at Emeril's for lunch at 12. It was interesting that there were close to a dozen empty tables but we were initially told there was about an hour. My wife used yelp and made a reservation thru the Open Table app and they sat us on the spot. It was interesting that many others were also given lengthy wait times most of whom ended up leaving while we were dining for about an hour. Anyhow, we were glad to have been seated amd had a fantastic meal. We ordered the Fish and Chips and the Prix Fixe 3 course meal: Emeril's Salad, Catch of the Day Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies and Chocolate Cream Pie for desert. The fish was like thin onion rings cut into thirds and the steak fries were well cooked and seasoned. The fish had good flavor and the tartar sauce was pretty good. Would have preferred larger pieces of fish. 7/10. The salad was good with plenty of ingredients with tasty dressing. 7/10. The Salmon plate was delicious with crispy skin cooked just right. 8/10. The mashed potatoes were freshly made and very good with small chunks of potatoes giving a homemade texture and taste. 8/10. The bread rolls were warm with butter and were very good. 8/10. We were so hungry I forgot to take pics of our plates but managed to take picture of the Dark Chocolate Cream Pie desert which was absolutely fantastic. 10/10 The ambiance was very nice and the service was good. The pricing was good foe the quality of the food, service, and ambiance. We had an overall good experience and will be sure to return next time we visit MGM again.

Did the tasting menu and it was superb. Excellent crab cake. The Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection with a heavenly sauce. And Emeril's signature dessert. The wine pairing is above par. The first course pairing was so so but the chardonnay and sauternes was way above par. Esp for the price. Pour was on the stingy side but it was enough to make the meal more enjoyable

We enjoyed our dining here. It's a beautiful interior with quiet chill vibe. The service was exceptional - very professional and friendly. We loved the appetizers we ordered as well as drinks. We had the whole seabass to share as an entree, and it was cooked very good - tender but juicy. All of that was for a very reasonable price for a restaurant of this class on the Strip. Would definitely come back next time we're in the area.

Wonderful restaurant! Food hit the spot and the atmosphere was great. But above all, the service was fantastic. All staff were helpful, friendly and professional. Andrew was an absolute standout! Very nice guy, knows the food well and is very friendly. He knows Emeril personally too. I'll be returning here the very next time.

Among my top 5 restaurants in the world! Emeril’s to me is a perfect restaurant because on one hand you get unique dishes and flavours that you can’t find anywhere else, but at the same time they are comfy, hearty dishes, that you can enjoy. A few of my favourite dishes to get here are the corn bread, the crab cake, the bbq shrimp (seriously what is in that sauce!?), the Chilean fish, the garlic crispy rice (seriously you cannot pass on this!), and of course the banana cream pie. The staff is also always so great and they make you feel so welcomed!
