    First time here. I did like the grilled caesar with grilled chicken. I also liked the fried olives. The brussels sprouts were burnt in too many places. My friend ordered the salmon and risotto. Salmon was good, risotto had a wierd sour taste. Noise carried loudly. The friendliest worker was the nice guy that greeted you at the door.

    We all had the burger which was quite good. But the main reason for the one star-value was for the wine prices. Only three options for a glass of white wine with the cheapest starting at $12. I’m just really tired of these prices (actually everywhere) given you get a measly 4-5 ounces for that price is just absurd. Us diners who eat out and keep the economy going continue to be gouged with ridiculous prices, especially for alcohol!

    The Service was extremely poor. We put in two appetizers and they never came out. Portions were extremely small. Got a charcuterie board for 20$ for the table and it was laughibly small. Took forever to get our drinks too. Do not recommend.

    Emerson's offers a compact menu featuring creative takes on classic fare. On both of our visits the service was excellent and the sequence of courses was perfectly timed. We recommend Emerson's for a special night out or for a nice meal before a concert.

    One of the tastiest Beet Salads I've ever had, an excellent drink special, totally welcoming wait staff. This was a real find, since we wouldn't have known it was there by just walking past.

    Service and food were just ok. Very loud, hard to have a conversation with your table mates.
