text: So we were going to Las Vegas and so we could eat some higher quality food I chose this Emeril restaurant specifically out of his other three restaurants in Vegas because it was the only one that listed Bananas Fosters as a dessert on his menu I love his Cajun recipes on Food Network so I figure this should be good I also read that this was an offshoot of his original restaurant in New Orleans which I really want to try so I came in with high expectations nnTo start my husband ordered the bone marrow and brioche and also the braised veal cheeks We got three bone marrow bones but was barely filled He said the bone marrow was good but very very rich and he said he could not eat a lot of it because it was so heavy It was salty but edible but funny enough they gave an additional container of sea salt I had the braised veal cheeks with some carrots and mushrooms It was good still salty but I liked it and probably enjoyed the sauce and mushrooms more than the actual meat nnFor our main entrees husband ordered the suckling pig and a side of truffle mac and cheese I ordered the seasonal monkfish with a tartar sauce and fried vegetables The monkfish was just sautueed but it was so incredibly salty that it was inedible Even tried to mellow it out with the tartar sauce but it was still too salty that it numbed my tounge The vegetables were coated in tempura but it was so over fried it just tasted like salty popcorn Any taste and nutrients were fried out of the vegetables Husband said the pork was good mildly salty but not anything to write home about He had to send back the truffle mac and cheese The macaroni was so overcooked it was like mush and grease There was no cheese was flavorless and it was like the macaroni was just tossed in truffle oil alone The breadcrumbs were just sprinkled on at the end and were not baked nnFinally I got my long awaited bananas foster which I was waiting for They brought out a plate with a scoop of icecream and fried bananas split lengthwise The server poured the sauce on top tableside The sauce was completely separated The liquid was as dark as soy sauce and sank to the bottom There was a clear liquid sitting on top presumably straight liquor at least an inch deep I took one scoop out of it and it was so incredibly bitter The fluid was watery It was as if the liquid had not been flambueed at all It should have been a caramel color and it should have thickened slightly because it was combined with sugar I guess I could have just eaten the ice cream alone but what was the point I wanted bananas and sauce To give the waiter some credit he did waive the items we did not like but I expected more So in summary I had high expectations of Emeril but was really disappointed and let down Everything was excessively salty I guess it is down to the actual chef executing it on the night of but Emeril really needs to go in there and spend some time QAing the dishes that have his name on itnnPS I would have given a because the service was alright but the following days my husbands stomach was not right and he was sick for days after the excessive amounts of grease from the bone marrow
