TastyPals Editorial Pick
JW
James Whitfield
Restaurant Critic
“The full menu at Emmer & Rye rewards diners who take their time with it — the kitchen is doing something deliberate with its wine bar influences. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Reservations are worth making for weekends; weeknights you can usually walk in.”
