What we anticipated

3/23/08 Had dinnerand it was what we would and should expect from any of Emeril's restaurants. The menu provided a tasting experience. The scallops was wonderful. The lamb was cooked to perfection. There was an extensive wine list by the glass. Of course we had to have desert. The famous banana pie was delicious. (worth every calorie. The wait staff was attentive. We sat at the kitchen bar and we watched a great team prepare our dinner. The kitchen was spotless. Our evening was a great! We will be back!
