"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.

Just WOW! From the service to each amazing course. A restaurant in Philly that’s actually mind blowing with its deliciously refreshing & unique dishes. Not to mention the manager really went above & beyond to make sure we don’t miss our reservation since it was almost impossible to find parking in the area. Really made our anniversary dinner the best one yet. P.S parking in the area is basically nonexistent so uber if you are not walking distance ☺️

The overall experience was great! The food was amazing and the value you get for the tasting menu is amazing. Every dish left us wanting more. We were so full by the end of the dinner and could not finish the desserts. I can’t wait to go back!

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.
