Lots of fun, and not to costly – I thought this was a great local restaurant. The staff was fun and pleasent, and the food was great. The courses are presented in a fashion as to not be overwhelming in size, nor underwhelming. I was able to have a full course and not feel like I couldnt walk. The salmon and crab rolls are delish and the short rib while a simple classic, was absolutely wondeful. The ice creams I found out were made on sight and were very good.
Very Satisfactory – I am surprised to see the one star ratings on here. We have eaten here several times with nothing even close to a rude comment. The food was good, definitely better than average, the service was more than adequate and I thought the prices were reasonable. The ambiance of the neighborhood was fun. It didn't even feel like we were in Salt Lake City. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Delicious? Yes. Good Service? Yes! – I've eaten here several times and have never been even remotely dissatisfied with service or food. The people who work at Em's are always nice when I come in (and no, I'm not even remotely close to a regular so writing nice treatment off as that doesn't work). The atmosphere is really upscale and stylish, as if it should be in a big city rather than Salt Lake, but I'm glad it's not, otherwise I couldn't eat their delicious mashed potatoes or habenero chocolate ice cream. So, I agree with ... read more
Nice neighborhood restaurant – My wife and I have been here at least half a dozen times. A couple for dinner and the rest for weekend breakfast. We like the neighborhood feel of the place and we live near by so it feels like "our" place. We have always had good service. Not service that hovers over you or constantly comes by the table but professional service that makes sure you are taken care of. The food isn't 5star but very good and always tastes fresh. We particularly like the salads and the very light touch on the house... read more
Only Average – Not as good as it's cracked up to be nor as bad as some have experienced. Service was friendly but basically indifferent. (At their prices, I want Service.) The "braised short ribs" turned out to be one piece of chewy beef on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes accompanied by seven thin, greasy sting beans. The pecan bread pudding was dry and definitely needed the caramel ice cream that comes with it. My wine was served in a soapy glass. My girlfriend had the chicken which was moist and delicious. I had tried thre... read more
Em's: Almost Too Good For Salt Lake City Step into Em??s Restaurant and suddenly you feel like you are in a quaint neighborhood cafe in Chicago or New York ?? 10-12 tables in the main dining area, a bar running the length of the restaurant, and an eclectic collection of art on the wall. Em??s is a pretty seashell in an ocean of TGI Friday??s and Cheesecake Factories.

Worst restaurant experience ever - and with the owner – Took coleagues here from out of town. After waiting over 2 hours to get our entrees - one entree was missed. Another one of the guests who had ordered his steak medium rare, politely sent his steak back because it was well done. He was told that they didn't have anymore RibEye, but invited him to come into the kitchen to look at how his steak was cooked under the light - which he did. He was told by what turned out to be the owner, Em herself, that she didn't agree that... read more
fabulous food – I have been to Em's several times and overall the only better restaurant I have been to in SLC is the Metropolitan (which is many times more expensive). Their food is accessible so you can take your conservative friends there, but there are some nicely executed things like Habenaro chocolate ice crm. as well. The bad review is from 2003 (well before I went there) so I have to assume the place has changed-- I cannot imagine that happening at the Em's I have been to.
