The Emerald Restaurant

Worth Every Penny!!. My husband and I visit this spot once a year or so for special occasions. I could go on and on and on... However, I simply state that that family that runs this hidden gem serves up unforgettable food and unmatched hospitality. This is a spot to head for when you're looking for a dining experience...perfection can't be rushed. Fill the time it takes to craft your meal with great conversation and a bottle of wine.…

The Best Irish Resteraunt this Side of Ireland. We have been going there since 1987. This is a family run and owned resteraunt. One of the waitress, Maggie or Melanie (sisters), will great you and the door and seat. The extensive menu has just about anything you could want to eat. We found the potato soup and irist coffee to be exceptional. All dishes are prepared as you wait. There is one drawback. As you are driving West on Hwy 71 it is very easy to miss there sign and entrance.…

Delicious Lobster!. Another reason I love this city! Ok, here is this little cottage set upon a hill-it even sounds like the beginning of a good story,and when you enter you are met by these people that make you feel so genuinely at ease, that no matter how crazy your day was, it now seems so manageable. We were seated and there was just this atmosphere of relaxation-it is hard to describe. The food was very good-my husband ordered escargot for his appetizer and I the french onion soup-both very savory. The escargot are served in the shell and the onion soup was flambeed tableside. Our salads were nice and cold and the homemade dressing was so good that I brought some home with me. For my entree, I chose the Cornish game hen (an off the menu item) and seriously, it was beautifully presented and very, very good. The sauce was loaded with cherries and brandy-a good combination and one I had never tried before on poultry-it works without being too sweet. My husband ordered a filet mignon and a broiled lobster tail- very nice and cooked just as he had ordered.

Too full to enjoy dessert, we opted for a couple of irish coffees -mine was made with Baileys Irish cream and my husband went the more traditional way and had the Irish whiskey in his-we were content!

So we not only will talk about this with our friends, we will be back not only for the food, but for the whole experience-…

What a Special Evening!. My husband and I had dinner at the Emerald and used our Groupon and had a marvelous experience. We were able to visit with each other in a setting that was private and eat our dinner at a pace that suited us- the staff was so attentive and frankly the chateaubriand melted in our mouths. Everything was treated very carefully and I wouldn't change one thing about our evening. The prices are not outrageous-my goodness you are eating one of the most expensive cuts of beef.. This restaurant is a very special occasiion place to go which is fine with me!!…
