The Emerald Restaurant

Still great food after all these years. The service is not expedient, so do not plan on running in and running out. It's not that kind of dining. The cottage has lots of Irish charm, but I will say that it needs a little TLC. (Tattered lace, sagging ceilings, etc...). This is home-made Irish cooking. Nothing frozen. You will feel like you're eating at your great aunt's home. Irish music plays in the background, and it's a VERY relaxed feeling. Beautiful little garden area out back. It hasn't changed in the twenty plus years that I've lived here in Austin, even with all the growth rising about it. That, in itself, lends to its charm.

Emerald is like going back in time. The food is uniquely delicious. Every dish is perfectly done with passion by the chef and served by the most sweet waitress, the chef's sister. The wine selection is breathtaking! I highly recommend if one wishes to have a true experience of a a complete fine Irish dinning. Superb!!

My wife ate at the Emerald 17 years ago and got engaged there. Today we came back again. When we first got engaged my palate was not as developed as it is today. The food was wonderful then but today I realized how wonderful. Ive had the privilege of eating at some of the best Restaurants in the US. The meal I had tonight was easily on of the best meals I've had. I recommend anyone that's curious about authentic Irish food try this place. The family that runs and owns the Emerald are not only great cooks and hostesses they are sweet and wonderful people. The service and food are top notch!
