    I would give emeralds fine food and libations a five for their amazing service. Not sure what our waitress's name was but she was great. I got the PB&J burger which was very tasty and my husband tried their chicken tenders. The portobello mushrooms were lovely as an appetizer. Would recommend

    Everything was incredible! Loved the baked cookie with ice cream. It takes a while as they bake it when you order it, so make sure to to order before you finish your amazing meal!

    Best salad bar in town. They make amazing food. My favorite is lobster and mango salmon. Occasionally, they will do gluten free take n' bake pizza - so good! They usually have a gluten free soup at their salad bar as well.

    Great restaurant and food. Our server wasn't fantastic. We had to ask for refills several times. When she brought the ticket, she separated the meals on the same ticket and took our credit cards, and didn't take the time to clarify which card needed to cover what portion. The meals didn't cost the same, so we had to work it out between us.

    Best ribeye I've had in years. Sides were top-notch. Staff and ownership are second to none.

    Wow what a fantastic time we had. Moved to Iowa 3 years ago and this was by far the BEST restaurant of all we have been to. There were 6 of us. We moved to Iowa from the cities in Minnesota and used to go out to eat at the finest restaurants and Emeralds definitely is on par with big city restaurants. Dan, we love you we are glad you were our server
