It's always a bit of a crap shoot when vacationing and trying to find a good spot for dinner…read more Emporium was a winner for us today. We made a reservation online although when we arrived it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a seat outside on the sidewalk. As most places do not have A/C in town, this was preferable to the somewhat warm restaurant. Our nice server Michaela took good care of us and made some good food recommendations. We started with the prawn toasts (indescribable but REALLY good), then followed with Fish and chips (light and good) and the coconut chicken salad which was shaved cucumber, poached chicken, coconut, and peanuts with a light refreshing dressing-quite good (according to my spouse). A bottle of Rose topped things off. The menu has quite a lot of choices so it should be easy for most people to find something that interests them. Nice food, nice service, nice meal.

A little inattentive, but we got everything we asked for, we just had to ask for everything. We had fish and chips. There was a lot of fish, flaky and perfectly cooked. The chips (fries for us Americans) were really really good, seasoned and crispy outside, potato-y inside. All-in-all, a welcoming a reasonable lunch.

The potatoes it came w were acceptable enough to eat and came w a side of sour cream that seemed it was just added on because they didn't know what condiment to add. Fish and chips- frozen fries (halfway cooked) and the fish (unknown kind) was mediocre. It lacked flavor although I gotta give it to them for having the great crispiness that I was looking for. Sticky pudding- tasted like a slice of old cake that was warmed up w a scoop of ice cream. Service was great- they were friendly and attentive but food was not great. I would suggest you skip it.
