Vegas and Food: MGM - Emeril's New Orleans Fish House, Nov. 2007

Emeril's at MGM. This was actually our second time here, our first time at Emeril's was about 2 years ago, and it was a really bad experience. We sat down, we got menus, but no water or waiter for 30 minutes, so we just left. This time, we finally got food. That's a good thing. But the bad thing, the food was awful, everything we ate was terrible EXCEPT banana cream pie. The pie was one of the best banana cream pies I ever had (I don't know how many times I had banana cream pie in my life, probably less than 10 times).

3 appetizers, 1 entree, 1 dessert, 1 bottled water, 2 cappuccino, our total was $100 (comped). It's an expensive lunch.

One is corn bread, other one is focaccia? Anyway, both were hard, dry, and no taste even though they were fresh.

Soup of the day, $8
I think it was sweet potato soup.

Avocado & blue crab cakes, $15
With a mango, papaya and macadamia nut salad tossed in a spicy cilantro dressing

It was burned, overcooked on the outside.

Kurobuta pork po' boy (daily special), $22
Slow roasted pork and pickles with mustard and swiss cheese on a rustic roll served with creole potato salad

Simply no flavor, the worst daily special ever.

Fish house seafood gumbo (appetizer size), $9

It was big enough even though it's appetizer size. It had a very fishy smell, and it was really bad. Very disappointing, they should know how to cook gumbo, especially if I'm eating at Emeril's restaurant.

Banana cream pie, $9
With chocolate shavings and caramel sauce

Signature dessert. It's pretty big, a perfect ending. Make sure you have enough room for this. A must try.
