| - I visited Emma's for brunch several weeks ago with my brother, and really enjoyed the experience. We arrived around 9:30am on a Saturday morning, and were surprised to learn that they were full! How did it get full in 30 minutes?! It seemed like they opened before 9am (the hours online say 9am). Anyway, I left my number with a staff member, and they called me about 20 minutes later telling me that a table for two was now available.
The restaurant was packed with a lot of families and kids, and it could get a little loud.
In terms of the food, I really loved how you could get half a Benny! So my brother ordered the breakfast sandwich (the Breakwich), I got half a Benny, and we split one order of pancakes.
I loved the Benny, specially because they used their famous butter biscuit over the standard English muffin. The size and price was great and it left me pretty full. The pancakes were good, but not great. I prefer my pancakes more moist, but I did enjoy the lemon ricotta - not too sweet, but tasty.
The service was spot on - friendly, knowledgeable and not overly distracting (our waiter did check on us, but did not do it too much whereby you are interrupted mid-sentence every 5 minutes).
I was disappointed to learn that they did not have any beignets on special. I visited Emma's once before and they happened to have beignets on special, and they were amazing.
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Emma's and will definitely be returning.
