We chose this restaurant for brunch on Sunday after reading great reviews, 4star AAA rating, and scenic location. Although the location is nice, the food is terrible. French toast should not have Camembert cheese on top of it. Caesar salad wrap was “not good at all” according to my 17 year old son. Eggs, bacon were decent, but how can you not cook basic breakfast well? Coffee was terrible. If you like good food, do not waste your time. If you don’t care about what you eat and are not discriminating, you’ll enjoy yourself.

A little hard to find the restaurant when you arrive, little signage at the hotel. No formal check in area for the restaurant and no one to greet you. Can’t comment on the food, because after ten minutes of sitting down no one came over to our table and we walked out. Not even a damn drink order. For the amount of money that I was about to spend I’m glad I made that choice terrible service, they definitely don’t have their act together. Another couple followed us out who had the same experience.

The waiter forgot to give our group of 6 menus, then we had to remind him he never took our cocktail order, then the food arrived before the cocktails and he forgot the wine I ordered with my entre. He gave us all the impression he never had waited tables before.

just now NEW My husband and I shared a lovely evening together here to celebrate our birthdays. I made a reservation a month in advance with the understanding that the restaurant provided a pre fixe menu. I found out later that it is no longer an offering. I called the restaurant and spoke with Stephanie. She apologized for the miscommunication and said she would talk to the chef to see how we could be accommodated. They were able to set up a 5 course tasting menu. The food was excellent but I have to say for us, the highlight was the service. The wait staff were extremely professional and attentive. Thank you all for a beautiful evening!

Excellent experience at Emerson & Ruth. We were seated outside and had wonderfully attentive staff and the food exceeded my expectations. Wine selections and cocktails were lovely as well. We will return. Thank you.
