  • "Not a Pop-Up" Dinner Series X Nich Bazik

    $125.00 per person

    Prepaid

    May 13, 2025 only
    THIS IS NOT A POP-UP! After nearly two years of pop-ups, Emmett now has a permanent home on West Girard Avenue. The time has come for us to say thank you to the many chefs and restaurants that supported us along the way, and pay it forward to the next great chefs in search of their brick and mortars. This event is part of a series of collaborative dinners hosted at Emmett. For our first dinner, we're excited to host Chef Nicholas Bazik of Provenance. The menu for each dinner will consist of four courses with multiple plates in each course. Tickets cover the cost of the tasting menu per person. Beverages will be available for purchase during the evening. Gratuity is not included in the ticket price and will be greatly appreciated on the final bill.

    All around amazing experience. Cocktails were DELICIOUS. Food was amazing. Loved the ribeye and the wagyu tartlet. We didn’t do the tasting menu, we did Ala carte but everything was amazing! Will be telling everyone about this place.

    Emmett struck the perfect balance of classy and delicious but incredibly friendly and comfortable. The food was creative (pea soft serve!) and delicious. The portions were generous. The service was excellent.

    This was an incredible meal. The Sesame Madeleines with ras el hanout butter, Kumquat marmalade and caviar might be the best thing I have eaten this year! Highly recommend!

    Emmett was outstanding! The food was terrific and very interesting. The service was amazing; the primary server was super friendly, helpful and not intrusive. He brought us a spoonful of caviar as we were celebrating a special occasion. Can't wait to go back.
