★★★★☆ 4.0 Federico Pizzuto · Jan 2026

I liked my experience at Emmets! Starting with the servers: they were nice and helped us finding a nice table, even when we asked to switch. She was patient and always smiling. The atmosphere at the place is cozy and maybe finer than a real pub… but this is a positive for me. Irish music playing on the background is nice and not too loud and we could enjoy our dinner comfortably. Obviously, I nice Guinness made everything even better. Food was solid but not the best Irish I had (in town and anywhere else). We tried different things: the French onion soup and the Reuben Spring Rolls. The first was good, the spring rolls could have been cooked better: they were oily and greasy, covering the taste of the filling. The Fish & Chips was pretty good: fish was very well fried and tasteful. I asked

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Moorissa Tjokro · Nov 2025

location and atmosphere are very vibrant and fun - they’re even open super late til 2a. However The food is surprisingly underwhelming given the rates I saw online, we got the Irish trio dishes (3/5), curry fries (2/5) and clam chowder (4/5). Might come here again for the beers or Irish coffee but probably not so much the food.

We absolutely loved our visit to Emmet’s Irish Restaurant! I got the Beef & Guinness Pie and my husband had the Fish & Chips — both were amazing! The pie was rich and comforting, and the fish was perfectly crispy and flavorful. There was live music playing, which made the atmosphere so fun and cozy. We came here before going to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and it honestly couldn’t have been a more perfect start to the night. Highly recommend! 🍀✨

We throughly enjoyed everything we ordered here. I think our two favorite dishes were the Guinness Onion Soup and the Lobster Roll. We also enjoyed the potato skins and shepherds pie. But don’t skip the Guinness Onion Soup - it’s everyone’s favorite for a reason. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated quickly, despite the restaurant being pretty packed when we arrived at 7:30 on a Thursday night. The servers were very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. We also loved the Irish Coffee - one of the best I’ve ever had. We’d definitely come here again and recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Julia Frampton · Oct 2025

Emmet’s is the perfect mix of cozy pub vibes and seriously good food. The husband and I opted for a seat at the bar, the best for people watching, so that was a no-brainer. Our bartender was easygoing and polite. We started with a cup of clam chowder and onion soup—both super comforting and full of flavor. I’m a sucker for a good Caesar salad, and theirs hit the spot. Fresh, crunchy, loaded with house-made croutons, and dressed perfectly. For the main event, we split the sampler with Guinness Beef Stew, Shepherd’s Pie, and Chicken Pot Pie. Total comfort food heaven—each one was rich, satisfying, and full of flavor (but the stew was definitely my favorite!!). Oh, and the live music was an added bonus! We're already looking forward to coming back next time we’re in town. Highly recommend
