Been twice. Has the same raucous (not perfect word but close) vibe that Emeril does, service more casual and food is good. Good place to go with a group and snack and drink.

It's decent, I've had a few small plates there. Haven't had a full meal yet.

Just ate there and we had reservations so there was no wait. Got the boudin tamale, meatballs and the sticky ribs. All good. Others got fish and an oyster dish, everyone enjoyed. Was loud.

I would go back.

Went a couple weekends ago.

Really cool atmosphere

Food was ok but nothing stood out. Split several small plates. I had a pasta special that was forgettable. I'm not a huge fan of Emeril's (the restaurant) but I'd put it above Meril

I went and made reservations a few Saturdays ago for around 3pm and there was barely anyone there. Started getting crowded when we were finished.

Food was pretty good, we had fried rock shrimp tacos (ok) house made meatballs (good), yellowfin tuna wraps (very good) for shared apps and then hanger steak (very good) Spanish style gulf shrimp (excellent) and some fennel pasta special (ok).

Kids has cheese flatbread and they loved that.

Cocktail options were very good and the space is done very nicely. I can see how it could get loud and vibrant when crowded.

Overall would definitely go back.

I think I got the fettuccini nero that our server raved about. I was eyeing the hanger steak and should have gotten that in retrospect

That's why you make reservations. Been twice and was seated immediately both times.

Sit at the bar, you may catch Emeril expediting in the kitchen

Tuna wraps are one of the best items in the city right now; it's a great place to share small plates; if you're going with a group that likes to get their own entrees, I'd look elsewhere; it can get quite loud in the dining room.

I went once and enjoyed it. Chicken liver toast was legit as well as banana peanut butter pie
