Excellent food. Excellent service.
1 year later….. 2022 ….Not the same. Very slow service, never came for a drink refill. Food took a long time. Some people loved their food … The other half were disappointed. We went twice in 2021 during our weeks vacation. This year we went once….. Once to many. Very disappointing.

I have to say they do a great job with kids, they brought our daughter two full coloring books, a glow-stick wand and more to keep her entertained. That is a nice touch for what is definitely a family friendly space. Food was a mixed bag, 2 of our entrees were good and 2 (both involving seafood) weren’t the best. The lobster was cooked to the point of being crispy. The App’s and other two pasta dishes our party had were very good however. A good place for families with kids!

We have loved this restaurant in the past but this visit was a miss. Soup was cold, not a big problem. We returned it, it was heated and it was delicious! Cream of tomato & crab. We ordered the scallop basket. Scallops were burned. Really black & burned! We both agreed we should have sent them back. My husband couldn’t finish his & threw them away when we got home. I finished mine but I don’t know why. They were awful. I couldn’t figure out why the chef didn’t know they were burned!

This has to be one of the most welcoming roadside restaurant! We were hungry on our way from Lake George to Fort Ticonderoga and pulled to stop over. It was almost empty but the smile on face of hostess and chef was full of energy. We loved all the dishes…pasts, pizza and freshly baked bread! Everything was made for us. Will visit again if possible and dine out. Thanks for amazing food that day.

We have always been big fans of Emeralds. It’s pretty much our go-to restaurant when we’re not grilling in the nicer weather.
Yesterday, we had a terrible experience. There were two tables seated outside, and two gentlemen eating at the bar. It took an hour and a half for us to have lunch, which consisted of French onion soup, chicken tenders, and a Reuben sandwich. The waitress was horrible. She preferred to spend her time talking with the guys at the bar as opposed to waiting on her tables. I had to go inside to get my check, and when I went to hand it back to her with my credit card, she all of a sudden had to go outside to check on her table. She ignored that I was handing her my credit card, and left me waiting at the bar. She returned from outside, rang out my purchase, and continued talking to the guys. When I handed her back the signed receipt complete with a tip over 20% because I’m sympathetic to the times even though she was the worst, she didn’t even acknowledge our patronage with a simple thank you. She kept right on talking to the other customers and ignored me completely. Rude, and terrible at her job, unless that job only entails chatting with select customers.
Normally, the servers at Emeralds are attentive and outstanding. This was clearly a college kid home for the summer.

HORRIBLE service and food. It was very hot for starters in the restaurant. They could not find a kid’s menu. The service was slow, drinks were not brought out, no napkins. We asked for ranch and blue cheese and never received either. The steaks were horrible, with absolutely no au jus with bad texture and taste. They were out of filet and broccoli by 6. They substituted corn without asking. The pizza was burnt beyond recognition. The steaks was not medium rare and the cook / owner was very rude basically bringing the steak back out and saying to eat it there was nothing wrong with it. The waitress was rude. The worst part is they served a 3 year old raw chicken. How could you trust the rest of the food that did not taste good.

We were happily surprised. We were in the area and needed dinner. There really wasn’t anywhere else open in the area. We expected a quick sandwich and leave. Ended up with a delicious steak dinner with huge portions. Cooked perfectly. All 4 of us were pleasantly surprised. Staff was friendly as were the locals that we encountered. We would definitely stop there again if we are in the area. Easy parking. Outside dining available

Unfortunately they were short staffed with no bartender. Although our server was doing her best it was substandard. We waited 25 minutes for drinks and were never served our soup,salad and rolls. Although my filet was tender and cooked perfectly it was served to me with drizzled with a broken, tasteless hollandaise (that looked similar to baby poo) instead of the bernaise. The pilaf was dry and bland and everything (including the carrots were cold. My friends meal was also very disappointing. The NY strip was overdone and very tough and the pasta was overcooked,, dry and tasteless as well. I’d also like to point out that 3 tables that arrived at least 15 minutes after us were served first. It was definitely a waste of 2 1/2 hours.

Never disappointed! Great drinks and superb food (mark is a master of the soups so yes you want to add soup to your dinner no matter what the special is!)
I tried the Coquille st. Jacques with the Au gratin scallops for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing!
