    Usually we love coming here but on this night it was awful!!! They let way too many people in. We were seated at the way back of the restaurant near the end of the bar and all of the bar patrons were standing mere inches away from our table. I wish they had cleared them a bit from standing so close to dine in patrons. Everyone was screaming and the music was right above our heads and also extremely loud. I was so relieved to get out of there. I probably won't go back. At least not for a long while. The food was also not up to the standard of previous visits. Not sure what was going on there that night.

    Food was really really good! They didn’t have enough staff. We went early like 4:45 on a Tuesday and the host was our waitress. That’s no problem, but we were waiting a while for our check after we were done eating.  would definitely recommend and would go back.

    Emmit's was amazing! The food transported us back to Galway. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive while giving us privacy. Looking forward to our next visit and trying more if the menu.

    Rustic pub. Excellent service. Food was very good, not quite authentic from Ireland. Lots of meat in the stew, taste of Ireland was tasty and lots of food, great selection of beer, fresh Guinness. Irish coffee severed as a cocktail.

    It was extremely warm, overly crowded. We never even heard or saw the live Irish music until leaving. Wasn’t the best birthday celebration but the food was fantastic.

    A friend and I both had the Caesar salad with salmon added and it was very good, and the price was very fair. Service was a bit slow to start but progressed to be better as we dined. Waitresses were very nice.
