Emerson Hotel Restaurant & Bar

"We made reservation and showed up on time. Choice of seating was limited. Choice was a table in a louder room or to be seated next to an opening door to outside. Because of my limited hearing (Military Service Connected) we chose the table by the door. While walking to our seats, I asked my wife if she would like to go elsewhere. Well, my wife heard a server, by the name of Michael, who was at a server station telling another server “ I don’t care, go somewhere else. I’ll throw a drink in her face” My wife heard this statement and immediately told the hostess we will not be dining there. My wife confronted the server as he tried to walk away. The hostess even apologized for what was said. We asked to speak with the owner or manager. We spoke with Ken and though he looked disappointed, he said he will address it at the next server meeting. Not good enough ! I then confronted Michael, who denied it and accused me of being under the influence. He threatened to call the police. I said sure no problem, I’ll wait. He ran off like a child. Ken and another employee came to me and said nobody was calling the police and repeatedly apologized for Michael’s remark. Keep in mind, the hostess and the other server, who Michael made the remark to, never came to his defense. Needless to say we will never dine there and the server should be fired."

"My experience about the Emerson Hotel are pretty good!!! I've been to this restaurant 3 times in a row with my Grammy and Poppy for dinner. Sometimes I order a cheeseburger, Margerita pizza, Caeser salad, pasta, and a dessert. The people are nice at the Emerson Hotel. The Emerson Hotel is just like the Allendale Bar & Grill."

"Haven't been here in many years. We were the first diners in the dining room. No servers so the bartender took good care of us even as the bar area filled up. The sliced steak dinner is now $27, but just as delicious as ever . the second pair who came into the dining room also ordered the same. It's their signature dish, and it was wonderful."

"Went in on a Sunday night around 6 and surprisingly it was very quiet. My husband ordered a vodka soda with lime and the waiter brought it out with a lemon saying “the bartender said it’s supposed to come like this” I’m sorry, I know it’s just a lemon vs a lime but we asked for a lime. My husband ordered a steak sandwich and it definitely has changed from the last time we’ve had it. It looked bland. He ordered it medium rare and it was definitely over cooked. No seasoning just a blob of butter over the steak. I ordered an eggplant parm sandwich. The roll was not toasted instead it was dry and cold. Plus they charge for refills on soda? No thanks. We won’t be returning."
