Best

The smoked mushrooms in the tasso sauce are the primary reason we go out of our way to dine here. A good...

Worst

Not impressive. Too expensive. Not enough variety on the menu

28th anniversary dinner 10/18/2005

We had salads, pork chop for the missus, fish du jour for me. $85 bottle of red wine was served chilled. Overall, a better choice for the money and atmosphere would have been Fleming's. Was expecting the ""wham"" of Cajun inspired cooking, received at best mediocre over-priced food at best. Pros: Seating w/reservation Cons: Expensive, Food expectation more

Great Experience! 6/16/2005

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Emeril's and the service was excellent. We were seated in the patio area so noise wasn't an issue. We thought the food would be fattening because of the way Emeril cooks on his show but actually it wasn't. There's alot of seafood items on the menu. The Banana Cream pie was excellent! Reservations are definitely recommended. We saw them turn away guests w/o reservations. They say long sleeves are recommended for men but we saw many men w/ short sleeves and shorts! Pros: service, food Cons: parking, price more

Universals best lunch 2/12/2004

Disappointing for dinner, loud, crowded, rushed but GREAT at lunch! Keep in mind, though a good experience for kids, soda refills are pricey, if your child is not an adventuresome little gourmand, get a burger Pros: food, service, lunch Cons: , crowded, food court atmosphere more

Pros: Excellent Service, Food is outrageous, Great wine list Cons: parking more

Acoustics 5/12/2003

Five women could not yell loud enough to be heard over the din. They need to do something to absorb sound so that people can talk to each other. Not a good place for a romantic dinner unless you are just into staring in each other's eyes. Pros: Excellent service, location, parking Cons: Noise level, Prices, Too much food more

One of the best in Central FL! 3/17/2003

I've eaten here at least 10 times over the past four years... Each time, with the exception of one, it has gotten better! Like many popular restaurant's in NYC (where I used to live), you have to know how to get a table, and what to order! Reservations are impossible to get for a w/e less than 30 days out... PLAN AHEAD. (or, call on the day you would like to dine at 3 SHARP!). They release ""unconfirmed"" reservations at that time. Other than that, food, service and drinks are great! They change the menu seasonally, so it keeps us ""locals"" interested! Can't wait to try the new Emeril-owned ""Tchoup-Chop"" nearby! Pros: YUMMY!, GREAT DRINKS, FUN ATMOSHPHERE Cons: EXPENSIVE, HARD TO GET RESV., CAN BE SNOOTY more

Best food/servivce on Int'l Drive 3/4/2003

By far, the best food and service in the International Drive/Universal Studios area. Reservations strongly recommended at least 30 days out to get your date. We didn't, so we walked in and got a late lunch at 2:30 on a Wednesday. Very high praise for the attentative and knowledgeable waitstaff. The food lives up to it's billing. Yes, it's that good! We had the Pecan crusted redfish & the pan roasted salmon, both cooked/served/presented beautifully. A place for true culinary delights. Unless you are already in Universal Studios, it will cost $8 to park. Ouch. Pros: service, food, smooth operation Cons: very busy, expensive, pay to park more

Add $8 for Parking! 1/5/2003

After paying $8 for parking and walking for 15 minutes from the parking lot, we were told that we had to eat in the bar because we didn't have reservations. Our experience improved with the good service and presentation of our food. The salad was decent. I would not order the seafood cheesecake again. It was bland and had too much cheese, too little seafood. The Gumbo, however, was to die for. Overall it was a decent meal, but I would not make another special trip--only if visiting the theme park. Pros: Excellent gumbo, Nice waitstaff Cons: Costly remote parkg, Must have reservation, no valet more

Full-flavored fabulous food 11/26/2002

A fun, upscale restaurant with aggressive, delicious flavors in the food. Impressive attention to detail in the preparation/presentation of the food as well as in traditional formalities of service that some otherwise good restaurants often neglect. Service overall was top-notch, with a pleasant touch of having everyone's food at the table being served simultaneously by multiple waiters. A bland and unassuming decor was the only slight disappointment (some might call it trendy - or maybe it's just a stark contrast to the food being served). There are, however, good views of the kitchen. Highly recommended. Pros: Thorough service, Intense flavors Cons: In a themepark, Distant parking more

No Free Refills 11/19/2002

My experience at emeril's left me wanting more!!!! The food was to die for the service was impeccable and the ambiance was great. The one thing that kind of took me back was the fact that I had to pay for refills of soda! First off it was served in a narrow hi ball glass full of ice. Secondly I feel I was over charged for it. If I am going to pay $100.00 for a meal, ""Bam"" throw in some free refills. All in all emeril's is great! more

Simply Terrific 10/31/2002

We celebrate 2 birthdays a year at Emerils. The food is always done to perfection. Try the pork chops. Almost 2 inches thick and well worth it. Also the chocolate souffle. Remember to order the desert before dinner. It is made to order. We will continue our tradition. Its worth the wait. Make reservations. You need at least 2 months ahead for the weekends more

Tasty but over-rated 10/13/2002

Stopped by during a recent visit to Orlando and while the food was decent, was a bit dissapointed. Perhaps the food was simplified for the tourist crowd at Universal Studios but there was no Bam in the flavor. Also noise and neon lights from nearby CityWalk bars were a distraction. A decent choice in Orlando but there must be better... Pros: Nice Decor, Prompt Service Cons: Noisy more

Your Dinging Journey Begins Here 10/7/2002

Emerils offers great food at expected prices. There are soooo many good items to eat on the menu. I must recommend the fresh Stacked Salad. It is faboulous. If you like spicy shrimp, try the BBQ shrimp. There is something on the menu to please everyones taste buds. The only negative comment is the reservations! WOW, At least 3 months will suffice, even then that was limited. Pros: Delicious, Great Salads Cons: Reservations more

A huge disappointment in dining. 10/6/2002

I was looking forward to dining at this restaurant, but was very disappointed with the experience. The food was good (not great) but there's not much choice for vegans or vegetarians, which surprised me. The prices are on the expensive side, especially when considering the available limited choices and quality. The most disappointing feature was the staff whom I found to be very aloof, slow and non-attentive. Bookings are essential for this restaurant, although I will never bother frequenting this establishment again. The lack of ambience, poor staff with big attitudes, and the lack of gastronomic choices will ensure that I never dine here again. Cons: Staff with 'attitude' more

Twice Emeril's deceived me 9/30/2002

My friend and I were talked into getting the ""Degustation platter"". We were told that we both must get the meal. Since it said $60 and all of the other meals were about $30, we figured the $60 was a meal for two. Wrong. 3 years later (it now says $60 per person) I made plans to take my girlfriend out for her birthday and invited my parents. When I made the reservation I was asked how many people are celebrating birthdays. I told her 2 people (dad too) and was told they would get the dessert of their choice. When we got dessert, they came and sang, but I still got charged for both desserts. When I said they were supposed to be complimentary, I was asked if I remember the name of the gal I made reservations with. I never have these problems at other restaurants. Pros: The food was tasty Cons: The are deceptive, food is overpriced, staff is snooty more

1 8/19/2002

This was the ABSOLUTE most AWFUL SERVICE I have ever experienced at a dine-in restaurant. Our server was attentive up until we placed our order. After our order was placed he NEVER came by to see if we needed anything or even to ask if we wanted to order dessert. Perhaps because our party of 4 was not ordering alcoholic beverages, our check wasn't as high as our neighboring tables who we could obviously see were getting much more attentive service. We left a $3 tip for a bill over $200 - and I still feel we left $2.99 too much! Do NOT WASTE YOUR $$$. Food was mediocre at best. Emeril should try some quality control with his restaurants. - a FORMER Emeril fan Pros: good menu selection, good sized portions Cons: AWFUL service, horrible service more
