    We had and excellent time, celebrating our anniversary . We were lucky enough to be seated away from the crowd in an area alone. Our waiter Hash was AMAZING. Moving forward we will always request to be seated in his area. He was kind attentive and informative. Our food was perfectly made to our taste and the ambiance was immaculate, especially to share our time alone and away from everyone else. We laughed, we had great conversation and we were able to simply enjoy our food and our time.

    We celebrated two birthdays, and Paul made our experience the best!! Paul was so friendly, the best host/server. We each ordered a different meal and they were all delicious.  And you can’t go wrong with the location, the Emma Hotel on the Riverwalk! Thank you for a memorable afternoon.
