Mind blowing tasting menu experience! Can’t recommend enough! Sat at the bar and enjoyed conversation and recommendations from both Liam & Jenn! They took this place to another level, but every staff member was amazing! Above and beyond customer service! And obviously my gratitude to the chef!

Incredible dining experience. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t know what to expect. I like that they have an à la carte and a tasting menu - But if you want to do the tasting, everyone in your party has to do it. I do see why this is - They portion and pace the meal for your group. It was a great option for our 4 person party so that we could share tons of different dishes. Additionally, the tasting menu is by far the best value for your dollar. For example, I was considering the $115 ribeye entree. (Amazing btw). With the tasting menu, I paid $130 and got to experience the ribeye, plus about 10 other dishes and dessert. It’s a no brainer. The food is outstanding. Amazing quality and flavors. Server was kind and attentive. We were seated well past our reservation time, but they made up for it by comping a round of drinks. This was a really pleasant surprise and goes to show how much they value a positive dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. Absolutely delicious ! Sorry I didn’t take any photos - I was too busy enjoying the great food and conversation!

Came for my Mom's birthday. The food and service were outstanding!
My only notes would be that the wine list is a little short and heavily emphasizes American wine, which is just not so much my thing, but we did have a good Pinot Noir from Williamette. Great cocktails!
Also, the tasting menu is incredible, but it's A LOT of food, so go hungry. We were all stuffed by the end to the point that I couldn't eat as much of the last course as I wanted.
Standouts would be the wagyu rye tartlet, the uni pasta and the steel head trout in a sauce rich with clams. But everything was thoughtful and fun, and the intimate environment along with the knowledgeable and caring staff make it a pretty superb dining experience in Philly!

Food was delicious, staff was attentive, but god did they bring out those first course dishes too quickly. We barely had time to perceive each dish before the next arrived. But each dish was a delight and I would love to return!

Absolutely incredible meal from start to finish. The tasting menu is a must. All the dishes were so unique with lots of complex flavors and locally sourced ingredients. Service was outstanding, friendly, personalized, and inviting. Would very highly recommend Emmett, perfect for a special occasion.

I'm still reeling from our incredible experience here! I'd read all the reviews beforehand, but nothing could've prepared me for just how amazing it would be. The food was literally out of this world - every bite was a flavor explosion. But what really made our night special was the service. Marissa was so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. And then there was Erin, who totally went above and beyond to make our date night nothing short of spectacular. From the minute we walked in to the moment we left, everything was just perfect. I'm so glad we chose to come here - it's definitely a night to remember!

We did the tasting menu and it definitely did not disappoint.
The cocktails especially the nine six one was amazing. Probably my favorite cocktail in Philly.

Emmet is a charming and intimate little restaurant, and it was the perfect choice for my birthday celebration. We opted for the tasting menu, supplementing it with the highly-recommended lamb pie. We were delighted with nearly every dish, and the complimentary caviar was a truly unexpected and elegant touch. The service was impeccable; the staff was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and attentive. The experience was made even more special when I received a personal, handwritten birthday card along with our bill.

Amazing went to my birthday dinner here every dish was a hit! Our waitress was very kind and the rest of the staff was super attentive. The rye tartlet might be the best thing I’ve ever tasted. The whole meal was a 10/10

One of the best food experiences I've had in years! Plenty of food options around the City, personally, I live and eat in the burbs and haven't been to the City in years...this was not only worth it, but a place I'm already planning to come back to! Get the chef's Tasting Menu, trust me, you will leave full and experience a culinary tour of gastro perfection! There wasn't a bite that didn't wow me, and I took pictures of this season's chef menu items that we enjoyed. Can't wait to experience the next season's creations. Whatever you imagine this tastes like, 10X it more! Trust me, don't walk, RUN and make a res...or 2.

Oh I went here for my birthday. We did a tasting menu, when I say everything that touched these lips were some of the best tasting food I've ever had, I mean it! But what was even better was the service! Impeccable. I have absolutely no complaints. You're safe with everything on the menu, but especially the appetizers! I was just floored, maybe sure you guys set those reservations. It's perfect for date night, you'll definitely impress your lady! The place is cozy, and warm!

We dined here over the weekend after hearing friends rave about the food and cocktails—and they were absolutely right. The bartender, Jen, crafted fantastic drinks, especially the Tamatim and La Luzianne, while the Non-Alc Sparkling mocktail was a spot-on rosé alternative. For food, we ordered the Madeleines, Stuffed Squash Blossom, Tehina Agnolotti, and Ribeye. Ryan did a wonderful job serving. Every dish was beautifully executed with incredible depth of flavor. We cannot wait to come back!
