I had really high hopes for this place. I ordered chicken balls with pesto and spaghetti. ZERO taste. Appetizer came out after we got our food. Boyfriend ordered the Loaded potato bowl with double balls. Didn’t even eat half of it, said it didn’t have much flavor either. The side salads were ok. And yes, I told the waiter about my food. He said “I’m sorry to hear that.” And walked away. $67 and we didn’t even eat half of it.
I had the Ball of the Month which was Jalapeno Cheddar. The apitizers was cheese curds. Great food and a large beer selection.
We called to reserve a seat at Emporio, the staff confirmed this. We arrived on time, and were told the reservation was actually for the completely separate upstairs restaurant. We then waited 30 more minutes to be seated instead, and then waited another 20 minutes before we were given menus, water and asked for any drink orders. After ordering, it was another 40 minutes for our food to be delivered, with several of our group's orders being incorrect. The waitress was doing her best to make our experience positive, but the kitchen and the wait staff elsewhere did not seem to care, and were in no hurry. The food was fine. It was expensive. The overall experience was disappointing.
