It was only my first visit, so I will likely give it a second chance, but as it stands three stars might even be a bit much. To start with the positives, the interior is cozy and the bar was comfortable. I had a couple standard cocktails and they were on par. The rest was less than satisfying. For some context we went on a Tuesday for lunch, and it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the truffle fries, risotto, and steak tips. They were out of steak tips so I got lamb sliders without the bun. Fries were soggy and lukewarm, otherwise the flavor was pretty good. Risotto didn't taste like it was cooked in anything but salty broth (mix it up with some cheese and vegetables or something!). Lamb sliders were flavorless pucks and pretty raw in the middle. The server/bartender also acted like we were an inconvenience by being there. I wanted to like The Emory after the word of mouth and reviews I've read, but for a $75 lunch for 2 people it was super disappointing.

Have been a few times for lunch, and the food is okay. Went in at 3:00 on Sunday and were informed the kitchen was closed until 4 since they were switching from brunch to dinner. An hour to switch the kitchen over?? Can't say i've heard of this before. At least update your website and state that dinner starts at 4:00 on a Sunday, not 3:00. Pretty disappointing.

Comfortable ambiance, staff was friendly. We sat at 5 pm and the dinner special had just became available at 5 pm, someone at my table ordered it, and then 20 minutes they came back and said they are out of the special. Why lie? Something must've happened and it would have been nice to have some clarity. Drinks took awhile to get, service didn't check up that often. Overall our food was good, we had a mix of salads (small salads and overpriced for the quality) sandwiches, soup, hamburgers, pirogi, and truffle fries. Overall it was good, great location, clean bathrooms.

This a good place for big groups as it's spacious and has big tables. The food is also pretty good.. I've had the veggie burger prior which had a good texture and I had the grilled cheese with mashed potatoes this time. The grilled cheese was tasty since it has pesto, tomato, spinach & 3 cheeses. The mashed potatoes could've had more flavor but they were still good. Service was pretty good and staff was really nice. They charge a gratituity of 20% if you have 10 or more peeps in your group, which I don't mind as it's no math on my part and makes it quicker to leave (I was in a hurry to get somewhere after).

90 minute wait for my dry burger, we had to go get our own silverware from the hostess stand after several requests... Totally unacceptable. Atmosphere was lively. French fries, chicken strips, bacon were tasty. Save your money and time, try a different place...
