First, let me say, I'm a Big Emeril fan from way back and when I left I am still a fan. Came for lunch for my own tasting menu since they didn't have one and I didn't want just one thing so we ordered a bunch of starter items. We had the stuffed dates which I didn't really care for but it was all up from their. The gumbo was alright and not as salty as everyone reviews or to be. The shrimp dip was the BOMB! The rabbit gnocchi was AWESOME! Not gamey and pillows soft gnocchi which were what made the dish. The pork dumplings were really excellent. The bbq shrimp were so delicious even the little biscuit on the side was good. The only sad part was the banana pudding pie was kinda disappointing because the custard was buttery.
Overall, this place was so good. Totally lived up to my expectations.
