Very charming place! Fresh oysters, great cocktails, attentive staff what more could you ask for!

Wow. The beurre sauce over the salmon was so good we were using spoons to finish it off. The salmon excellent. The burger done to order and one of the best. Fantastic service too.

As a rule, I don't like to leave a bad review. In this case, I believe it is warranted. Most disappointing was there were only seven entrée options, which were fine but the one we were interested in, they were out. This was early in the evening, and there were only a couple of other patrons. We ordered clam chowder which contained a couple of clams that were chewy and really not edible. One order included a cheeseburger. It really had very little taste . The other order was requested with just a little spice and turned out to be very spicy Finally, we had said it was our anniversary and it was not recognized by our server Unfortunately, all in all a bad experience.

The best lobster roll I've had away from the east coast (coming from a NYer)! The service was excellent and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!

The food was great, our server was lovely. Was a bit disappointing that half of the menu was out of stock. Not the fault of the restaurant but not a full experience.

10/10...the food was so fresh and so delicious. Everything was so well balanced. Great hits of acid. Restaurant is cute as a button. Such a good setting for a celebration, or girls night, or a romantic dinner

Every meal I have had here has been delicious. Great service and pretty atmosphere. I love the pink decor.

Pretty pricey for what you get. Dishes are a little small. The calamari was subpar, mostly just fried crispy pieces vs actual calamari. Oysters were really good and fresh. Loved the beet salad and our pastas. Not sure if this place is going for an upscale feel, but if they are, missing the mark. Our experience was like a casual restaurant with expensive food. Service was okay, for the price tag of the food, the service should be better. We got, “hi, what can I get you,” no discussion of the menu, no have you been here before. Which service such as sets apart upscale from casual dining. No bowl for my clam shells. Small things like that, that we look forward to when spending a pretty penny on food.

We had a birthday celebration for my daughter. Food and service was on point. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Little Em's is an absolute gem! The decor is super cute—bright, stylish, and welcoming, the kind of space you instantly feel happy in. Everything was spotless, and the vibe is fresh yet cozy. The food was outstanding—clean flavors, perfectly balanced, and served in just the right portions. The oysters were divine (truly a must-try!) and everything we ordered tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Such a delightful spot—I can't wait to come back!

Lovely gem! Amazing food, fabulous dirty martinis. The oysters were absolutely perfect! Do visit for happy hour!

Oysters were outstanding. Service was very good and sitting outside led to a good experience. Food however was subpar, I am in awe on how you can get a wedge salad wrong, seasoning on the spicy octopus was non existent. The history of the locale for outstanding food when Feast was open unfortunately did not carry into Little Em's.

Very good food. Borderline amazing. Service was good but not spectacular or necessarily fitting for the accepted quality food you're getting. Unfortunately for as good as the food was it was very minimal quantity. I'm not sure if that was by design but if I hadn't gotten an appetizer all to myself I would've definitely still been very hungry. Overall would highly recommend but note that service might not be fantastic but overall the quality of the food pulls this establishment very high up.
