best experiance ever

by seabeegirl09 at Citysearch

For all of you who bashed Emerils, I had a great experiance for my birthday. I think the service was great and also the food. Yes emeril is based out of new orleans but you cannot expect the restraunts to be the same everywhere even though it is a chain. I live in Gulfport mississippi now and am looking forward to trying his restraunt there when my fiance comes home from Afghanistan. Those of you who are bashing this..probably are the ones that you cannot make happy no matter what you try and do.

• Pros: great food wonderfule xperiance
• Cons: not really any cons just wished it was still open

DO NOT TRUST THIS STAFF WITH YOUR FOOD

This is my first ever review posting. My mother and I chose this restaurant to celebrate my father's birthday. From the door, my parents and I were treated poorly. The hostess whispered into the phone for (no lie) at LEAST 15 minutes before acknowledging us. The fellow who seated us made some snide remark about the fact that I was rubbing my hands together (because they were dry, but what business is it of his?) before pointing us to our table, where we sat for a few minutes before another young fellow walks over to tell us the "specials" for the night while making eye contact with the ceiling, the other servers, and the place settings before us. None of the employees seemed to want to be there, and at $30 per plate, I expect better treatment. I paid for my father's Tom Collins, and we left the restaurant, and handed our ticket to the valet which prompted an interrogation ("why are you guys leaving?"), followed by a critique of the restaurant we we headed to next (***'Pappadeaux', where the servers are friendly, the portions are generous, and the recipes are STELLAR***). The prying valet wasted another 7 minutes of our time being a wiseguy, and by then I was DONE with Emeril's in ATL. NEVER EAT HERE. EVER. When you're down in Miami on South Beach, visit Emeril's next door the the Loews. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent. I can't say the food at Emeril's in ATL is bad, because I couldn't get past the service. I expect more for my money. Pappadeaux is a different environment altogether, but we wanted friendly service, and excellent food without all the 'tude, and we got EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED AT PAPPADEAUX NOT AT EMERIL'S IN ATLANTA. Anyhow, my parents and i are going to New Orleans tomorrow, so we plan on hitting up Emerils and NOLA there. STEP IT UP IN ATL, PEEPS.

• Pros: ambience
• Cons: service, parking
