Emery

The delicious food vs. atmosphere vs amazing service... Great place, reasonable price Go

Decided to check out Emery and it was a great experience. The dishes were well prepared and full of flavor, and the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere felt comfortable yet refined, making it a nice spot for a relaxed meal. I’d gladly come back again.

A gem and staple of the historic and charming Mariemont. The upstairs seating is always cozy and comfortable but the outdoor dining is easily the best option. The seasonally adjusted burrata salad is always a highlight for me.As well as this, the braised short rib is soft enough to pull apart with your fork. The staff and kitchen were incredibly accommodating for dietary restrictions and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Excellent service and the outdoor ambiance was perfect!

Update 03/28/2026: They reached out and generously offered a gift card to cover a return visit. We had a much better experience the second time. I ordered the braised short rib, my husband got their spring pre fixe with sirloin. Both dishes were a lot better than the previous ones wed eaten. The braised short rib was extremely tender, didnt even need a knife. We also got the sweet chili shrimp appetizer and it was very tasty. I would say the place is still a bit cold, but I planned for that and dressed warmer this time around. I greatly appreciate the restaurant following up and we will be returning customers in the future. Unfortunately my husband and I had a very disappointing experience. It was the first date night we'd had in months and we were really looking forward to it. We've been to Tahona, Clyborne, and Toast and Berry and had great experiences at all three. So we were hopeful to have another great time. However, immediately after being seated we were met with our first issue. The restaurant was super cold! My husband and I were shivering through our whole meal. We weren't by a door or window, we were upstairs so no idea why it was so cold. But it really ruined the atmosphere. Our server was wonderful and prompt, however we were not told or warned that refills on Ginger Ale were not free, so that was an unpleasant surprise when the bill came. But our biggest issue was our food. I got the shrimp and lobster Alfredo, the shrimp and lobster was way overcooked. Super rubbery and inedible. The sauce was extremely bland and overall the dish was just not enjoyable. My husband had the crab BLT, which was cold. Not sure if that was intentional, if so it'd be good to note it on the menu. We skipped dessert because we figured it would be a letdown too. Overall we spent $130 to be cold and eat mediocre, poorly made food.

Took students to The Emery to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid musical. The students were amazed and they enjoyed it. I also had a great time as an adult.. The show was wonderful and I would definitely go again! VERY GREAT JOB to the cast!!!

Wonderful food and excellent service. Everything was perfect for celebrating family birthdays. Chris was an excellent server and took great care of us. Well done!

Not only is the atmosphere beautiful but the food was incredible! My friend and I are both gluten free and everything besides 3 dishes on the menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free. The elderberry pear cocktail was so refreshing. The whipped feta, lobster shrimp Alfredo, and chicken entree were delicious! The donut holes with homemade caramel sauce were amazing too! Zoie was so helpful and knew the menu very well. Overall outstanding experience!

Absolutely delicious! Everything I had here was amazing- service was wonderful and atmosphere was updated and pleasant! Zoie was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and her service was perfect. Would absolutely come back!!
