| - My mom declared that she needed a drink after nearly 7 hours of shopping (with a little eating and gambling mixed in), so we headed to Emeril's for happy hour.
I wasn't planning on drinking, but I saw they had my favorite drink, Pimm's cup, on their happy hour menu! If you've never had a Pimm's cup, it's a very refreshing and very British drink with muddled cucumbers, ginger ale and a gin-type base. Other than drinks we shared oysters, soft pretzel sticks and fried shrimp. I tried to order calamari off the regular appetizer menu, but the bartender said they weren't serving it yet, which is weird because there were customers in the dining room. Then another guy at the bar ordered a whole meal off the regular menu! In any case, I tried again with dessert and was more successful. The taste of New Orleans dessert plate included a mini pecan pie, bread pudding and banana cream pie. All three were amazing and satisfied my sweet tooth.
I definitely recommend Emeril's for happy hour if you're at the MGM.
