The Emporium: An American Brasserie

Unfortunately, this was the worst experiences we've had at any restaurant. We checked in for our table and wait waited an hour and a half after ordering food just for no main course food to ever come out. The manager was actually really nice. Told us there was no way our food was coming out anytime soon. We felt bad for the situation. We know the food is actually incredible, but the lack of communication about no food being available for such a long period of time was not good. They should not have seated a whole room full of people only to have nothing served to any of the patrons waiting. Unfortunately we missed out on what could have been a great brunch with our daughter who's at CSU before we left back to the airport to head back home.

Meh... place was not worth the hype. Super overpriced for the dish you get. Service was not good. We asked kindly if they could split two entrees between two plates and they said they would try but that the kitchen was probably “too busy” to accommodate that with a 20 top party. How hard would it be to plate a dish in two plates? I guess you have to be a larger party to be priority. We asked for water a couple times and didn't get it, service was just not great. The restaurant is gorgeous but we will not be returning.

We had our anniversary dinner there and it was fabulous. We were gifted a glass of champagne in honor of our anniversary. The staff gave us attention, but left us alone to enjoy our conversation and only came at the appropriate intervals. The food was outstanding - fresh salads and the pork was exquisite, not to mention that outstanding cheese board. We are looking forward to our next visit. Pricey, but very well worth it.

Excellent food. Service was very good, we're not rushed at all, although busy when we arrived. Our server was friendly and very helpful.

The glazed salmon and the trout were delicious, kalamari was crisp and tasty. Beet salad was tasty and refreshing. Great wine selection and Karley (sp?) was a wonderful waitress .

This is one of our favorite places for special occasions. We go a bit early to have a cocktail at the bar and then dinner in the dining room. Dinner and service is great ... the only minor comment is lighting at some tables is a bit lacking.

Extremely overpriced for mediocre food and service. With so many other options within walking distance, this restaurant should be politely passed upon.

You cannot go wrong at The Emporium. The food is always delicious, the service is always excellent and the ambiance is super charming.

Not happy with our service. We ordered apps and drinks to start. Finished our apps and had to flag our server down to order. Order came out wrong on 2 dishes. Steak was overcooked but chef apologized and graciously fixed it, which we appreciated. Ordered drinks, some came out and not others. Sat there for another 30 minutes to flag our server down again to get boxes and the check. Missing beer and wine finally came out. Another unordered glass of wine came out... It wasn't busy at all. Service needs some discipline and training.

My wife had a wonderful date night at The Emporium. The food was great like always. Service was very good as well. The nicest thing about the restaurant was that it was nice and quiet. We were able to have a conversation with out a loud droning of music or other conversations.

Finally went here on a Sunday afternoon with the wife to get some work done with a glass of wine. Can't believe I've slept on this place for so long. Wonderful way to spend a productive or relaxing afternoon, will be back very soon! Thanks Michael and Izzy!

Service was very slow on Saturday morning, yet only about 3 tables inside and 2 outside had guests. Food was great. But terrible service.

Last night I took my amazingly beautiful girlfriend to The Emporium for our anniversary and they did amazing even had red roses on the table like I had called and requested earlier that day. I highly recommend this place food and atmosphere were perfect

What a disappointing experience my family just had. We came for my mom’s 60th birthday and we had been RAVING about how good the mussels, food and service was. Have been going here for years and unfortunately today the food was SO BAD. Like sitting out in a cafeteria all you can eat bad. When I saw the recent ratings for this spot I was like wow people are really critical and then after today I was like ya they seem to have given up on providing excellent service and food.

I was definitely disappointed in the food during our visit for my mother's 60th birthday. We attended for happy hour and unfortunately the food was delivered lukewarm and even some dishes cold. The recipes of their food is excellent but when the food is cold and definitely gives the impression that it wasn't made to order...that leads to these types of reviews. Would I go here again after my family's visit yesterday? Maybe. But definitely will need some time until we try this place again.
