Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"The food at Emeril's is somewhat eclectic, but leans more toward what Chef Emeril calls ‘New' New Orleans cuisine. Although the menu often abounds with a pastiche of tempting dishes in the style of Southwestern, West Coast Oriental, or New England cooking, the roots of each -- as well as some of the ingredients -- are usually in the Creole genre. Emeril's will always offer something fresh and deliciously provocative because Emeril himself never stops thinking of new ways to outdo everything he's already done."
–Emeril's website
" . . . intelligent service, a deep wine cellar, a surplus of kitchen talent and a changing menu that blends well-crafted signatures . . . with specials built around what's fresh and in-season."
–Brett Anderson, The Times-Picayune
