White Plains NY Restaurant

Customer says it’s a great place to go away from the chaos of downtown Restaurants in White Plains NY. Describes food, vibrant bar scene, service and décor, of the White Plains NY. Terrific local neighborhood Restaurant in White Plains NY

Emma’s is one of my favorites of the beaten path of mainstream White Plains NY. Food and service are always good and the beer selection is outstanding. A great place to grab dinner and a drink with friends after work. Emma’s is one of the best Restaurants in White Plains NY.

Loved the vibe, the drinks, and the menu.......I was there with 6 people on Saturday night. We waited an hour for a table, even though we had reservations and we didn't really mind. The noise level was cacophonous.

The menu was terrific and lots of things that I wanted to try, but unfortunately I wasn’t impressed with the execution of some of them:

The French onion soup broth tasted great (not cloyingly sweet or salty as so often found) but the cheese wasn’t crispy on top from a salamander (broiler), despite specifically requesting it be browned. It seemed like provolone or commercial mozzarella that was melted in a broiler.

The chicken lollipop appetizer is supposed to be the double boned wing piece with one bone removed and the meat pushed to the bottom and the little bone serving as the "lollipop stick" Here, they took a shortcut and used the thicker wing bone and cut the end off. It was meaty but messier to eat that way.

The macaroni and cheese with smoked bacon and peas was outstanding.The spinach and artichoke dip with pita looked beautiful but honestly, was tasteless.

The chicken pot pie tasted good. It was served in a round ramekin bowl, not much bigger than the onion soup bowl with a piece of puff pastry that was baked separately from the pie and placed on top. The filling was tasty but the whole thing left me wanting more.

I tasted my wife's Filet Mignon special. We both felt it was a little tough but the sauce was delicious.

We kept watching these gorgeous looking desserts being served so we ordered three for the table. The Sticky toffee with vanilla ice cream was more like a bread pudding. I loved it but others weren’t thrilled. They preferred the warm chocolate cake with ice cream, which I was less crazy about. The apple tart with cinnamon ice cream was popular as well.

All in all, I'd say I was quite pleased with the experience and I’m anxious to try more of the menu. If you are looking for a quiet relaxed dining experience, this isn’t the place for you on a Saturday night. If you are looking for a casual pub with very reasonable prices, and potentially great food, then I highly recommend Emma's. For us, it was a good alternative to our usual hang-outs.
