I was looking at this sign thinking that my niece Emma would enjoy seeing her name over that cute dog logo. Maybe someday when she’s old enough for a drink (and that’s gonna be a while cause she’s only 4), I’ll buy her a round at Emma’s Ale House.
If this location looks vaguely familiar to you, that’s because it used to be Sunset Grille, before Sunset closed and Emma’s took over. Looks like they opened up the bar area quite a bit; the dining room looks brighter too. I like the finished look – airy, with a warm, neighborhood feel.
My crabcake with chipotle mayo was moist and crisped to a golden brown. And the seasoned potato chips — they’re the kind of chips where you eat a few and say, “Okay, I’m going to stop now”, but then you can’t stop and you keep picking at them and picking at them until you practically finish them all and you end up feeling bad about yourself. You know those kind of chips.
Liz’s lamb confit on a baguette was the outright winner though. How often do you see a lamb confit sandwich on the menu? Shredded, juicy lamb bursting with flavor, nestled in a crunchy, chewy baguette from Panadora in New Rochelle.
Both sandwiches were $15 — probably fair for the lamb, but hefty for a crab cake. In these tough economic times (Yup, I’m pulling out the clichés — every news article these days must contain the words “tough economic times” — what a weird period we’re going through), a $15 sandwich for lunch is pushing it.
But try that lamb. Emma’s has a killer sandwich on its hands.
