    For $30 we got a bottle of Andre and 3 juices in shot glasses that wouldn’t pour into our glasses for mimosas. The pineapple juice was rancid…. The fresh fruit eventually arrived but not with the initial order of beverages. We ordered 4 kids meals, rec’d 3 so had to wait longer for that. Children could not have French fries with their meals, so it was the same Great Value brand frozen potatoes with peppers and onions they served as their “breakfast potatoes” on the brunch menu and they were dreadful. Chicken and waffles were ok but definitely not prepared by their kitchen and seeing the breakfast potatoes served to others, I chose fresh fruit which ended up also a mistake because it consisted of a few pieces of cantaloupe and canned mixed fruit, I can only assume was also great value brand. While our reservations were at 11 am just when they opened, they were “out” of rye bread so we opted for white. Our toast never came… I was truly disappointed. Coming from AZ to spend the holiday with family we carefully selected this steakhouse, as we had dined there last year. We searched the menu and decided it had enough options for all of us. We didn’t realize they would only offer a limited menu, as it was not posted on their website. Our bill totaled over $250 for four adults and four kids and a true disappointment. Everyone was very kind but you can’t serve frozen food at this price point… people expect and deserve much better…

    Our waitress was awesome. Was served promptly. Was very cold in there. We were very excited to try the restaurant. Was disappointed by food. Steak was ok, but not great. A lot of fat and grissle. My chicken Marsala was not great. Food was cold when came out . The chicken had an odd taste. We always try to eat local & support.

    This is my second visit to Emerald and I brought some guests from out of town to experience the great food that they serve. I had local catch crab stuffed grouper which I throughly enjoyed and would recommend. We had boom boom shrimp and crab cake appetizer both excellent. We also had at the table lobster and a pasta dish. Which everyone was happy with. We had great service and will be back.

    Meal was fantastic! Server did a great job. Only negative is that we were seated between the dining room and the bar, and it was very noisy with the band. Next time we will request to be seated in the main dining area. Overall our experience was wonderful though.

    We’ve come to Navarre several times and hadn’t tried this restaurant yet. It didn’t disappoint and will now be on the list of places to eat when we visit. Food and service was excellent.

    Service was excellent and vastly improved from our last visit. Food was high quality and not overpriced. The only complaint is the noise level in outdoor seating was very highs. Dinner conversation was tough, and the server had to squat down so we could hear him. We will return, and I’d recommend it.
