 Don’t expect to spot Emeril Lagasse in his eponymous restaurant very often, but his staff of talented culinarians is on the job. Look out for huge barbecue shrimp enrobed in a robustly seasoned brown sauce; redfish coated with a crumble of andouille sausage; and the king of desserts à la Emeril---the mightiest coconut cream pie imaginable. We also recommend chef David Slater's six-course tasting menus. They might feature a Creole mustard-crusted rack of Colorado lamb, for instance. The wine list, under the expert guidance of sommelier Ray Gumpert, is as thick as a Russian novel and well composed, with a fair number of bottles priced below $35. Well-organized service teams keep things humming at the tables. The food bar, once located in a partly visible corner space, has been widened and affords a panoramic view of the kitchen. Framed like a stage's proscenium arch, its border of back-lit glass cases hold colorful seeds, grains and spices. If there is a downside to Emeril’s, it is the noise level and the menu is a bit pricy compared to similar local restaurants.
