        We seldom eat at a table usually eat at the bar which is always wonderful. We decided to sit at a table and started out with Isiah as our server then he went on ignore and another server stepped up and I don’t know his name. It took approx 30 minutes (prob more) to get our bread and flatbread appetizer. We had to ask for it. Then we ordered our food which came out timely and was delicious. The restaurant wasn’t busy but the servers were not impressive for an Emeril Lagasse restaurant.

        Absolutely fabulous. From the moment you enter, until the moment you leave you are in for a treat! The food, the people, the atmosphere, are all amazing and we can’t wait to go back again (which we are breaking our rule and visiting twice in one trip!)

        Sondra and Greg provided great service. Food was delicious. Only drawback…too noisy to talk. Have been before and will come again!

        Service was great as was the food. A little loud. Tripped over the floor mats on the way out (only 1 alcoholic beverage) and the hostess said nothing - didn’t even fix the mat.

        Sonya, Kevin, and Lauren made my sisters birthday so great! Our favorite was the Korean bbq wings, the bread pudding, and shrimp tacos. They made sure we were taken care and had a great time. We will definitely be back!

        Food is great and the banana cream pie is to die for. Only problem was the food portion sizes is too small for the prices but overall the experience was amazing

        We flew in from Australia a couple of hours before but we battled our jet lag to have a meal at Meril and we weren’t disappointed in any way! The service was friendly and attentive and the food was just delicious. We opted for some small plates and shared a couple of desserts, everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavour. Highly recommended!

        We had excellent service however, there were 15 open tables and we were sat next to a party at least 12 with no elbow room. I think our server was overwhelmed with them. The food was just ok. My least favorite experience of my trip. Just know that this restaurant is extremely loud. I would not go back for that reason alone.
