I've been to the Emerson twice now and both times have had a excellent experience. The mixed cocktails are good and not too girly, the wine selection is excellent. Their cheapest bottle wine is a Rioja which is delicious. The first time i went I started with the Sweetbreads which were amazing. I had never had sweetbreads before so I was a little nervous but they were great. I passed them around the table and everyone liked them. The last time I was there, i noticed that they don't offer it standalone anymore and that it's now a "sweetbreads poutine" which i'm not a huge fan of.
The lamb shank is delicious, big, and falls off the bone. The paper bag pickerel is equally as amazing except a little small.
