The food was well-balanced, but not particularly exciting. The madeleines and bread that came with the lamb loin were great; nothing else was memorable. The quality and quantity of food was not reflective of the high price point, especially compared to other establishments in the city.
Lighting was quite dim, which made it difficult to clearly distinguish each dish’s components.
Mandatory 5% kitchen surcharge was clearly listed, but included in the subtotal rather than separate from the subtotal, likely as a way to extract higher tips from customers on top of an existing mandatory surcharge.
Service was great.

Emmett is the EXACT dining experience I go searching for. Unexpected yet delicious dishes, divine cocktails, and staff who make it nice (from the hosts to the servers to the food runners, all are fantastic!). This was our third time visiting Emmett and it was astonishing. We got the sesame madeleines, beets, cured tuna, short rib borek, and agnolotti. Only regret was not saving enough room for dessert!

Great meal overall — some of the best Mediterranean flavors I’ve had. The first courses were incredible (especially the Lamb Kibbeh and Lamb Carpaccio), but the middle courses fell flat with sauces that were way too strong. Strip loin was super tender but had a lot of tendon, and the trout was just okay (clams were the best part).
Cocktails were mixed: In-Cider Information was excellent, but the lemon meringue and sass-squash drinks were pretty bad. Service was solid and we appreciated the complimentary caviar for a birthday. Nice bonus that they take InKind, so we saved $100.
Good restaurant with some standout dishes — just not perfectly consistent.

The food is incredible. Come hungry. Not only was it great, but the staff was incredibly gracious in dealing with an issue related to our reservation time. Great food, great service. I would definitely recommend Emmett.

This place definitely deserves all the praise. Everything was phenomenal. The atmosphere was warm, cozy and inviting. The staff was exceptional- both attentive and genuinely friendly. Shoutout to Erin for all her amazing recommendations and Lucky who brought out every dish with a friendly smile. The tasting menu offered one-of-a-kind dishes and creative drinks that made the experience truly memorable. We will be visiting again in the future!

One of the best food experiences I’ve had in years! Plenty of food options around the City, personally, I live and eat in the burbs and haven’t been to the City in years…this was not only worth it, but a place I’m already planning to come back to! Get the chef’s Tasting Menu, trust me, you will leave full and experience a culinary tour of gastro perfection! There wasn’t a bite that didn’t wow me, and I took pictures of this season’s chef menu items that we enjoyed. Can’t wait to experience the next season’s creations. Whatever you imagine this tastes like, 10X it more! Trust me, don’t walk, RUN and make a res…or 2.

Dined here after seeing it on many top lists and winning a beard foundation award. Couldn’t wait to try especially after reading about the chefs and their Michelin background.
Went with the tasting menu.. was completely stuff by the second round of courses. Overall the food was good. The service was what made it too notch! I will stick to the à la carte menu next time as the tasting menu wasn’t my ideal cohesion of a meal but separately I would have enjoyed several things that way. The date cake was my favorite, I loved it. Also really enjoyed the pepper infusion in oysters.
A little tight seating but it’s Philly so to be expected. Should have a reservation.
Cocktails were interesting and super creative. Everyone was very knowledgeable and super friendly, attentive, excellent service. Great to see the rider pottery dish wear

Mind-blowing.
The flavor, texture, technique, and attention to detail were absolutely incredible. Each dish offered layers of complexity, with so many components working together seamlessly. Every bite delivered a new burst of flavor that made you pause and appreciate how everything just makes sense on the palate.
It was truly a memorable dining experience.
Our server was amazing—she was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made the experience even better. The chefs were friendly and clearly passionate about their craft.

I’m still reeling from our incredible experience here! I’d read all the reviews beforehand, but nothing could’ve prepared me for just how amazing it would be. The food was literally out of this world – every bite was a flavor explosion. But what really made our night special was the service. Marissa was so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. And then there was Erin, who totally went above and beyond to make our date night nothing short of spectacular. From the minute we walked in to the moment we left, everything was just perfect. I’m so glad we chose to come here – it’s definitely a night to remember!

We sat at the bar and Liam was our server/bartender. The bar seats were comfortable and our preferred seat choice. From this vantage point, we saw the kitchen and bar staff work seamlessly together. The drinks were a perfect compliment to the incredible food. The flavors of the cocktails paired well with the layers of spice and seasoning in each dish. We are planning to go back for the tasting menu. A one of a kind experience. You will love this place.
