    Supper for brunch! Supper at the Emma is always a great experience and today was no exception. Brought two friends out for brunch at Supper on a gorgeous November early afternoon. We started with grapefruit, cranberry and mixed mimosas. Delicious so we had another! Chicken club, breakfast burger, and Caesar’s salad for lunch was perfect! Side potatoes were great, as was the bacon. Irish coffees to finish the meal. A perfect start to the day! Nela was our server and she was fantastic! Didn’t helicopter at the table but we never wanted for anything. Thank you Supper for a great brunch experience!

    We went for our 38th Anniversary and the evening was perfect! It was probably the absolute best dining experience we have ever had! From the moment we entered the front door every single employee that greeted us was impeccable. They were friendly, extremely accommodating and attentive. I have certain dietary restrictions and they went above and beyond to be accommodating. Our server Brad was a true credit to his profession and made our entire night fabulous! Our meal, of course, was delicious but the entire experience was what did it for us! Well done Bonahan’s, well done!
