Emi is awesome! 11/15/2007

We recently had Sunday brunch at Emi, and let me tell you- it is worth every penny! It was double the price of Cebu, but 1,000 times better. You pay for quality. We were seated promptly in the backyard greenhouse, which was nice. We were served promptly and attentively (which I really appreciate). I had this fantastic grilled shrimp appetizer that I am still thinking about (it came with mango). Main course- eggs benedict, and probably the best I've had; this came with yummy little potato wedges that were delicious. The waffles are fantastic too. My cheesecake dessert was just heavenly. I can recommend Emi without reservation- we will definitely be back! Kudos to all! Pros: Awesome food and service! Cons: Price may be high for some, but it was well worth it. more

Not worth it... 3/10/2007

Nice atmosphere and prompt seating. The staff was not as friendly as I expected and the outdoor patio was not a great as the ""outdated recommendations"" described it. The food was decent but not good enough to go back. Overall, considering the price, you can spend a little bit more in the same area and get alot more back.\r \r In all, if you are looking for a place with good food, this is not it. Pros: Prompt seating Cons: Poor food, not worth the $ more

Truly a very special find 8/31/2005

An absolutely spectacular experience overall. The food is simple but delicious, the staff is attentive, kind and very helpful, and the prices are unbeatable--two could eat here, with wine and dessert, for well under $100 easily. Go for the outdoor patio if you can get it, or the climate-controlled greenhouse if that's not an option--the bar area tends to be a little loud. This is genuinely a great spot in Bay Ridge and we're very lucky to have them. Pros: excellent service, outdoor patio, good prices Cons: noisy indoors more

The chef is a gem! 6/5/2005

A little piece of heaven tucked away on 3rd Aveue. This is what Bay Ridge has been missing. The food in Emi is always perfect. Whether you eat dinner or brunch you will not be dissapointed. MY hat off to the chef and his staff! Pros: Great presentation, perfect location , garden is beautifu more

Awesome with a capital ""A"" 5/28/2005

I went for dinner with my girl and had a great time. The food service and drinks were on the money. These guys do not skimp on drinks or quality of food. Fantastic! I tried the brunch on Sunday. wow! The best mimosa I ever had. Fodd was just as good. The French toast was perfect. The best part about it was enjoying my brunch outside. For a few minutes I escaped from the New Yprk fast life and enjoyed the the beautiful weather. trust me go there Pros: Food, Service more

Must Try 5/9/2005

Came here for Mother's Day brunch and was extremely pleased. We sat out back in the ""garden area"" - the service was wonderful - our mimosas never went empty - and the food was delicious. This was our first time to Emi and would highly recommend this restaurant for brunch in Bay Ridge! more

a Bay Ridge secret 3/16/2005

I am so excited to learn about this new restaurant in the neighborhood. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. A dinner for two that included a shared appetizer, two entrees, two glasses of wine and coffee with a shared dessert cost $92. A bit pricey compared to some of it's neighboring restaurants but worth a visit, at least once. Pros: location, food, outdoor seating Cons: pricey more

One of the in Bay Ridge !!! 10/7/2004

My wife and I have visited Emi's on numerous occasions and we have never been disappointed. From casual dinning, to a romantic dinner to just a cocktail at the bar, Emi's takes it to a different level. The Food is incredible, Service is above and beyond, and atmosphere is one of the best in Bay Ridge. This is one place I highly recommend. more

River Cafe Alum comes inland 9/14/2004

This restaraunt has the essentials to be one of the best in Brooklyn and it is. The food is Outstanding and Delicious. The staff and owners were really friendly and they make you feel at home. The only bad thing is you fall in love with a dish you crave, go back for it and it's gone. Although it was no problem finding a new favorite. I was told the chef(formerly of River Cafe) is very sensitive to the quality of the dish. So if he can't find fresh-good product, he'll remove a dish from the menu which I think is fantastic. Must haves are homemade goat chees rav's - Amazing!, Branzino fish or stuffed breast of veal - WOW!. The desserts are made in house. Apple Crostata is my Favorite. Eat there now before everyone knows about it. Pros: Food, Ambience, lively more

Should really call this place ""Yumi 9/12/2004

This is a great place to go if you want an overall great dining experience. Been there a few times for dinner, brunch or just a drink (the French cosmos are fantastic) and it just keeps getting better. Make sure you save room for dessert, they are definitly worth it. Pros: Friendly service, Great ambiance more

EXCELLENT MUST TRY!!!!!!!! 8/30/2004

Emi was definately a restaurant that raised the bar for Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Romantic inside, a nice secluded garden outside. You can dine in a group or dine alone with someone you love and it still reflects that intimacy that restaurants lack around here. The service was amazing, not to overbaring and the food goes well beyond your simple continental dining adding unique flavor to every dish that everyone would love!!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!! Pros: Resonable Pricing, Great Staff, Incredible Food more

A surprise on 3rd Avenue 7/31/2004

This new Bay Ridge restaurant was a most pleasant surprise. Seating was available under an atrium or, as we chose, in their outdoor garden. Dining al fresco in Brooklyn was a welcome change of pace. And the food is amazing. The grilled baby octopus was perhaps the best I ever tasted. We also tried the sauteed calamari which was tender and exploding with flavor. For dinner the Branzino was wonderful. It ws roasted whole and then taken off the bone...great flavor. Dessert was a homemade apple crostada. Awesome dinner and a great addition to the neighborhood. Pros: outdoor seating, good bar scene, friendly service more
