    My sister and I went to Emmitt’s to celebrate our milestone birthdays (40th and 50th). The staff was attentive and service was spectacular. We sat at the bar before being seated at our table and chopped it up with “Chris” who helped us get our celebration started. We both ordered sea bass and enjoyed crab guacamole and shrimp for appetizers…everything was super delicious. Our waitress brought us the most delightful butter cakes with warm caramel adorned with a strawberry. We can’t wait to go back. They also have complimentary valet! Nice vibe, excellent ambiance.

    Wonderful evening spent with good friends for Thanksgiving and a birthday. Attentive staff, the head chef even came by to say hi and see how things were. At the end of the evening, she was gracious enough to give the kids a quick tour of the kitchen, from the outside, not where all the chefs were. Beef wellington was amazing, and so was the seafood tower. I feel like a shark after eating all that shellfish. Haha. Sticky toffee pudding...I wanted more but was so full. I'll go back just for a dessert run. Amazing overall. Pricey, but that's paying for the service, atmosphere, rent, and some of the best food I've had in Las Vegas.

    I came here yesterday for breakfast with my mum and brother for our mums 60th. The food was delicious and the service was great! Everyone that attended our table wished our Mum happy Birthday which I thought was a nice touch as I hadn’t reminded anyone since booking several months ago. Would definitely recommend visiting for breakfast, good choice of dishes, I had the pancakes whilst my Mum and brother had eggs Benedict and three way eggs which were all very tasty!
