The atmosphere is comfortable casual. Service is excellent and the food, is as good as it gets. Their New York steak with blue cheese was a perfect medium rare as per my request.
Em's is a quaint little café that had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The building itself was older in style, but that made it all the better. The food was good, though the menu wasn't extensive. The service was great and helpful. The coffee was self serve, which was nice when we wanted a refill. The portion sizes were appropriate for a Sunday brunch, and left us satisfied. Great place to visit and eat!
The food is delicious. The breakfast menu is a bit small and the portions are small for the price but if you want some food that is cooked the right way and recipes that are original and good for you this is the spot for you.
Nice chic eatery located in the downtown / capitol hill area. Good small plates, entrees, appetizers, also wine, beer, liquor. There's also patio seating in the warmer months.
I have only come here for Sunday brunch, which is very average even under priced. They have limited menu. And Small Portions which is a blessing by itself. Food is cooked well. They also have free coffee.
Our experience was wonderful I haven't had a steak that good since we moved from Oklahoma. The ambience is wonderful and peaceful, the service was excellent. I can't see how it could've been any better.
Fabulous potato pancakes. Every dish was delicious. The habanero chocolate ice cream was outstanding. Lovely decor, gracious staff.
Upscale, casual, friendly, artsy, and delicious! Fine dining that is fun and accessible.
Unique and interesting offerings cooked to perfection in a visually engaging, comfortable setting.
Oh, and Em's is integrated with Alchemy Coffee right next store. Had their coffee at breakfast also fantastic!
So, the service was quite slow, but the food, when it arrived was delicious. They need better signing. I had a hard time finding it and I was standing right in front of it. Clean, quiet and very nice.
Another recent discovery was Em's in Marmalade Hill. Great food, exceptionally diverse menu, an great atmosphere. Did I mention the great service? Happy to bring our out-of-town guests to this exceptional example of Salt Lake fine dining.
Breakfast was AMAZING! I had the ham and cheese omelette, the egg was fluffy and the ham was cut in small easy to work with pieces. The hash browns on the side were alright, nothing too special though. The side of toast was southern perfection! I also had the blackberry cobbler which was delicious as well. The service was awesome and the had merchandise for sale.Always a plus!
Absolutely one on the best restaurants in Salt lake city. Best steak I've had in Utah.
I stumbled across Em's by accident, but was drawn in by the sunny dining room and enticing menu. I found the service I received from the waitress consistent with other reviewers; there were piles of dishes covering several of the other tables that remained where they were during my entire visit, and though I was the only diner in the restaurant (they turned away two girls who walked in 2min after I sat down because the kitchen had closed in that time), the service was slow and the waitress never checked it with me to confirm that everything was right, or to see if/when I needed the bill (I ended up walking up to the counter to request it, which seemed to perturb her). The kitchen staff, by contrast, were quick, friendly, gracious and generous, and the food was excellent. I paid $12.95 before tip for a glass of grapefruit juice ($2) and a savoury crepe with eggs and veggies ($10.95). I'd go back, and I'd recommend it (with a caveat about the front-end service).
I loved this place. The food is good and fresh. It feels like Italy and if you eat outside, you can bring your dog!
I love this quaint restaurant near the capitol. Great food, great atmosphere
Gorgeous mismatched antique flatware! Thought provoking art on the walls. Beautifully tucked away restaurant with charming patio and adjacent coffee shop with it's own unique atmosphere. The brunch had a well timed relaxed feel. I especially appreciated the directional attachments to the air vents so the room was comfortable not chilly.
