Editorial Review for Emeril's at MGM Grand – by Ryan Slattery and Chris Saunders
In Short
The grand scale of this restaurant is evident in the 14-foot-tall wrought-iron fish sculpture at the entryway and the 2,200-bottle wine tower in the main dining room. The menu features seafood favorites, including Gulf shrimp, baked Louisiana oysters, seafood jambalaya, Maine lobster and sauteed cornmeal-crusted catfish. Turf options include spicy campfire steak topped with vegetables and warm remoulade. For dessert, there's flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce.

based on emeril's nawlins roots and notable catch-phrase (bam!), we expected a lot more heat in the menu items. instead the menu was surprisingly ambitious and bland at the same time. the tai snapper special, for example, featured a cacophony of salmon roe, pickled mushrooms, beets and gnocchi. the fish itself was tasteless and undercooked, and the roe should have been left out of the dish altogether. the wine list was excessively huge (read: war and peace) and probably could have been pared down for this kind of menu.
Pros: huge wine list (could be pro or con in this case)
Cons: surprisingly bland and overly ambitious menu

Last night marked the second time that a bartender and/or server has adjusted their own tip on my credit card slip. The food is mediocre at best, SEVERELY overpriced and the ambiance...well, there isn't one. The whole place feels hectic, and with SO many other options in Las Vegas, it is not worth your dollars. Salad was wilted, dressing was OVERPOWERED by garlic and house wine, which is no big deal as far as taste goes, is extrodinarily overpriced. Again, check your bank statements and see what really gets charged here. In addition to pretentious bartenders who create their own tips on your card, my check has never been right- there is always an extra salad, or extra glass of wine on it. For the money they feel they deserve, the experience is underwhelming. Skip it.
Cons: parking
