The 245-seat restaurant is adorned in shades of green – Emeril’s signature color – wood accents and ornate Portuguese tiles. A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space.

Outstanding service and likely the best meal I've eaten all year. I had the pork chop and my wife had the gulf fish. We also shared a side of fried Brussels spouts and a cup of gumbo. The main dishes had amazing accompaniments that paired together deliciously. The gumbo was smooth and rich and the Brussels sprouts had a miso honey drizzle that put them over the top. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Definitely gonna make this a regular stop when we visit NOLA again.
