Emeril's Review

Enter this boisterous spot, chef Emeril Lagasse's first Vegas restaurant (one of the city's earlier celeb-helmed eateries), under an arch of water spouting from a wrought-iron fish. Menu highlights might include Creole-mustard glazed Texas redfish, pepper-crusted prime sirloin, or sweet barbecued Scottish salmon with andouille sausage and Brabant potatoes. Be sure to order a side of mac-and-cheese with Serrano ham. A sommelier will guide you through the selection of some 2,000 wine bottles in the wine tower. Finish with a slice of banana cream pie. Emeril's is one of the better lunch options in MGM Grand, as many fine-dining options are dinner-only.

    Salty, real salty food. Did I say salty? YUCK. Order a crab cake. YUCK and 40% filling! Waiter floated around, but could get him to focus on our meal. My wife's fish wasn't cooked fully and was cold to the pallet. YUCK! Don't go. Did I say DON'T GO! Oh yes, DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been to Wolfgang Puck's various restaurants, and not been too impressed, so didn't expect much from Emeril. Boy, was I wrong!!! Everything here was just so darn tasty! My Texas Redfish encrusted in pecan topping was the best fish I've ever tasted, DH's filet mignon topped with a crab sauce was unbelievable, and the signature banana cream pie was just delicious. Even the after dinner coffee was extra tasty ... a dinner to remember ... next time I go to Vegas, this'll be one of the first places I return to.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Emeril's for my father's 60th birthday party. We were delighted by the waitstaff, as they were attentive and very knowledgeable about the appetizers and entrees. We were dazzled by the skill and thoughtfulness each dish was prepared with. The seafood gumbo was highly seasoned, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. My seared scallops with shrimp in chimichurri sauce bursted with flavor and the proteins were cooked perfectly. We look forward to many return visits.
