Review Summary

At The Emerald, guests entered by chance and felt misled about pricing, as classic cocktails were not shown on the menu given by the bartenders. It was late and the place was empty. The cocktails were very good, but the pricing left a bitter aftertaste. They were charged before tax and gratuity for the cocktails. At first there was surprise, but the reaction shifted to thinking the fault lay with not checking prices or the venue beforehand. A month later a friend mentioned that the cocktails were actually quite inexpensive.
