    Experience overall was very good. Greeted and started promptly. Waitress was attentive and both the softshell crab and trout almandine were a hit.. portions were small so don't come in here overly hungry or plan on ordering multiple courses.. we ended up ordering a double cheeseburger and fries to split after our entree and that did the trick.

    We are Warehouse District residents and this Emeril’s bistro is one of our favorite restaurants. Our party of six, a pre-Mother’s Day lunch, was treated royally by the staff, and especially by Lauren and team, friendly and attentive wait service, from cocktails to appetizers, to entrees and wine, and desserts. The Salmon and Daily Fish entrees were terrific, their sauces superb, and the Ribeye entrees were perfectly cooked. Thank you for another great dining experience at Meril.

    We had two wait staff taking care of us. They were very nice but never around. It was so freaking loud we could barely hear each other. And the food, although good, was not so good that I should pay as much as I did.
