An outstanding restaurant, better than the original Emeril's which we visited last year and enjoyed immensely. We ate in the rear, garden type room, which was obviously an add-on when Emeril remodelled this older restaurant because you have to go through the kitchen to reach it. The front of the restaurant is very intimate and plush while this rear room is beautiful with its own personality.
The barbecued shrimp appetiser was very good. My wife had an excellent filet mignon (as usual), while I had to break my pattern with a strip sirloin, the most expensive item on the menu. I had read that Delmonico had the best strip sirloin in NO and that is no lie. It was a magnificent piece of meat, melt in your mouth, full of flavor. I tried to order the same garlic mashed potatoes that my wife did, but the waiter cautioned me to order something else. He was right -- it was a huge bowl, more than enough for both of us and delicious. I ordered buttermilk onion rings of all things. It’s amazing what one can do with onion rings with imagination and talent. I had the creamiest creme brulee for dessert that I have had in my life (and I have had many of them).
