Our second visit, and once again a delight. We brought out of town visitors, and they loved it, too.

They don’t have too many vegan options, but the plate I ordered was amazing — rice with baked vegetables and a creamy sauce. So good! 💚 I usually prefer hot soups, but their gazpacho totally changed my mind. Refreshing and flavorful — perfect for a hot day! 🌞🥣 The atmosphere is fancy, and the staff were super nice too.✨

Very cute spot, very good food! This slightly hidden gem is very cozy and warm, with multiple seating options. I have been here 3 times now and the food is always perfect. The only thing I dislike is having to order at the counter, which a lot of places are moving toward. It really makes me feel restricted on what I can order and how long I can stay, even though I know there is actually no limit. I just feel like I am getting more for bang for my buck when I have table service. And I'm also more likely to stay and have another drink. I'll go cry about it somewhere else though :)

I came here for my birthday with my friends, and despite us coming in quite close to closing time, the wait staff was beyond hospitable and so friendly. The food and drinks were all ridiculously tasty and we left very satisfied. The atmosphere was so cozy, too. Definitely recommend to any and all.
Got take out. Ravioli were layered upon themselves in a cup. They all stuck together. Ruined the experience. Whatever is giving the black licorice flavor; clashes and is gross. Bread for dip absolutely destroyed; how am I even suppose to use those little pieces to get dip. Most of it over toasted and burned tasting.
This was incredibly disappointing.

We have long been waiting to come to Emerald Line as we live in the area and finally made it in for a nice dinner. The inside is quaint and comfortable with some almost antique charm and nice seating. Felt overall cozy although I will say it was odd to not have a hostess stand as you sort of just walk directly into the space without knowing where to go.
Service was solid and the staff was very nice. Everything was timely and people felt relaxed.
Food wise we were generally pleased with our order with a few things that I thought could be improved, hence the 4 stars. The drinks themselves had potential but the nui nui which both my partner and I got was just too spicy that it didn’t really appeal to either of us. Was hoping for more of a fruity flavor.
The bread was delicious as were the wrapped peaches, though I wish there were more of them for an app. The entrees we enjoyed, and were tasty, but the lasagna felt like a bit more sauce and cheese than actual pasta at times. The flavor was solid but it didn’t have as much actual substance as I was hoping.
Generally as nice evening and a great place to bring parents for a cozy meal. Just wouldn’t rush back personally as we weren’t blown away.

Great place for an intimate dinner for two, four, or more.
I had a mule and substituted in some local gin for the vodka… wow! This one was so good! I must confess to having a second.
I asked for extra marinara sauce on the lasagna and they did not disappoint! This was exactly what I was looking for.
We had dinner with friends and had no trouble hearing each other. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, appetizers, and entrees.
