Terrible, undercooked burger and presentation. Definitely an overrated spot because of it's location. There's better choices in Burlington..…

In a stroll downtown Burlington and was drawn to a lakeside patio – saw Emma’s and walked in. Got a seat on the patio and settled in.Great service, nice view of the lake and the food is fantastic! Ordered the Tuna Poke (guacamole and Ahi, with sesame sauce) and Triple Dip (very flavourful appetizers) for a mid day lunch. Accented with the Tawsy Vineyard Cab Sav for the wife and a Richards for me …. excellent combo.Giving it a full 5/5 for no reason to want more.
Emma’s tuna poke is absolutely delicious. Ask for extra wontons you will need it. The tacos are pretty good as well. Overall, yummy food and good service. Great place for drinks and dinner with friends.
Solid spot. Stopped in here out of the blue, burger and salad was excellent. Staff was friendly and an excellent patio at the back. Would stop in again for sure.
Took my 2 teenage kids here for my birthday dinner on 03/08/16. There was a waiting list for the outdoor patio overlooking the lake so we opted to sit inside and got seated immediately. The table we got still had a great view of the lake since the wall on that side of the building is all glass and the doors were jammed open to let the breeze flow. I ordered a bowl of the seafood chowder to start and had the fish tacos. Both were excellent ! My daughter ordered a chicken wrap and my son ordered wings which happened to be the daily special. There was a bit of a mixup with my daughter’s meal but it was promptly rectified. The service was actually pretty good considering how busy it was. Good music at a decent level. Drink prices are quite reasonable… I had 2 pints of beer for under $10. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the value was good and the ambiance was casual and enjoyable. A nice experience… we’ll definitely be back !
Jerk chicken salad, lobster Mac and cheese (wow!), delicious!!! Love the atmosphere and the patio! Can’t wait to go back for lunch or dinner and relax on the patio
One of my favourite spots for an office team lunch. A very spacious location, with a great view of the lake and the Burlington Skyway (especially at night!).The menu has something for everybody. I tried the Grilled Chicken Wrap made Buffalo style, with a bit of zing. It was just the right sized portion, with enough sauce to make it juicy and flavourful. A side order of sweet potato fries finished off the dish. I’d come back again! suburbantourist.ca
Although the food was amazing, the service was absolutely atrocious! Our waitress Kelly was really unpleasant and unwelcoming. Kelly did not attain to our table and we did not order our drinks until 30 minutes after. And when we wanted to order our drinks she was quite rude about the situation. As women of colour we did feel segregated and regardless of our approach of being nice to the waitress we did not like the service. Despite the awful service we still tipped but it was obviously not up to her liking and she shared with the other waitresses in a gossip form. Also the rest of the girls working there were unpleasant and seemed unhappy that we were there. Unfortunately this ruined our experience and lead to write this review.
