The Scene – Emmy's oozes funkiness. Patrons sit at the bar, sipping Chianti or fine malt liquor, waiting to score a seat among the ramshackle booths lining the walls. A communal table suits big groups or friendly single diners. Hand-scribbled menus adorn the tables; the wine list hangs on a chalkboard. An occasional jazz ensemble or DJ completes the art-house aura. – – The Food – For a self-styled spaghetti joint, the kitchen kicks out a mean duck pâté, paired with lightly toasted brioche and house-made orange marmalade. Of course, most diners go straight…

Great place to have a casual delicious dinner

by reviewchk

I frequent this restaurant when I am feeling taken advantage of by other restaurants. At Emmy's you are guaranteed a decent if not fantastic meal. I find comfort in the daily specials, 80 percent of the time the chef hits the mark and produces an entree that would be found at one of SF finest restaurants (at less than half the price). The remaining 20 percent of meals I've had there are better than average. Service is casual and fun.

Hip & Cool / Always a good choice.

by nf3d0149ab

I always take someone to try out this little place. Stumbled on it by chance and have always loved it since. Keep on doing what you do best...cooking great food and serving up good drinks. No reservations so be prepared to chill for a while if it's packed.

  • Pros: Ambience, Food, Uniqueness
  • Cons: Parking, Number of seating available
