    Had a great meal at Emeril’s Coastal. Other than sitting next to the door to the kitchen with the constant traffic in and out (with a late obtaining of reservation beggars can’t be choosers) everything else was great. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The tuna wraps for appetizer were very tasty. My wife and I each had fish dishes as our entrees (pecan crusted red fish and cedar plank mahi) and both were cooked perfectly. Our desserts were the bread pudding and the olive oil cake and both were very delicious. We would recommend Emeril’s for couples or groups.

    Very disappointing experience. They did not have the whole fish which is the only reason I decided to go there for dinner and were out of the gin I requested for my cocktail. After having our cocktails, we went to a much better restaurant that did have whole fish on their menu and had it available. I knew better than to go to a tourist trap like Emeril's, but the allure of getting a whole fish clouded my judgement.

    We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my wife’s Birthday again this year at Emirils! We had reservations and were promptly seated right on time. Our waiter was professional, courteous and had a very pleasant way about him. The food was outstanding (as always) and we had so much we even took leftovers home.

    Always a great experience at Emerils! This is one of our favorite date night spots and our second time celebrating Valentines Day here. The food and drinks are always on point! Our service was a little slow but that was to be expected on such a busy night. My husband and I took the extra time to enjoy each others company without disruption. I heard others around us complaining about the slow service so we were extra patient with our server. Can’t wait for our next date night here!!

    5 of us were seated at a table meant for 4. Took 25 minutes for wait staff to arrive. Another 25 minute wait for ordered appetizers, that arrived before drinks we had ordered. Pretty disappointing service. Food however was excellent. Overpriced for experience delivered. Had eaten here twice before… were much better experiences last year.
