My friends and I hit up emporia downtown at 11 am on a Saturday morning. It was one of the more affordable options downtown open at that hour. We were looking to fill out stomachs with the first meal of the day without paying a dinner prices. The service was really nice since we were seated right away and greeted with smiles at the door. The server was nice enough to offer suggestions and refill our water frequently. I had the meatball grinder with chicken balls, provolone cheese, and marinara sauce. It was a delight!!! I can't wait to go back and try another sauce. The meatballs were plenty big for me. I may have actually stuffed myself that day. The table also shared a plate of poutines with fires which was a nice starter. The food also came out rather quickly and everything was correct for everyone's order. I'm definitely a fan.
