Incredible food and superb service. I wish I could give it 5 stars. We were excited to try this fabulous restaurant and sit at the chefs counter that is prominently displayed in the photos. To our surprise, we were seated at a table away from the chefs counter. This was not disclosed when I made the reservation. Most restaurants will say “inside vs outside vs high-top”. While the food and service was five star, the experience was not what I had anticipated. I say this having been to many chef counter tasting menus from all over the world. Go, but know where you will be seated. Update: I was contacted by Emelina and they were able to find my original booking. It did say “Table reservation”. I did not catch this at the time. Although I was not looking for it either, as it was my impression that the only seating was the chefs counter. I’ll own the mistake and give the restaurant the five stars that they earned. Please, for anyone wanting to dine, make sure you are getting the table you desire when booking as it was not clear to me.
Dear Keith, Thank you for your kind words about our food and service, and for sharing your feedback. We take every review seriously, as it helps us continue to grow and improve. We will look into what happened to better understand your experience and ensure we continue making the reservation process as clear as possible. We appreciate you choosing Emelina and hope to welcome you back soon. Camila S.
