I went to Emiliano's in Hampton with my family. The food was delicious and the service waa terrific too. I had a steak and shrimp dish that was outstanding and we also enjoyed some margaritas. We live on the other side of PA and always try to stop here when visiting family.

Food was good. Service was good. The only issue I had was they didn't have corn tortillas. And the waiter couldn't understand why I didn't want the tortillas with my meal.

There's nothing bad about this restaurant...EXCEPT for the fact that if you want more salsa and nacho chips...they now charge you for it...they NEVER did that before and we have been going there for years...
