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!

Earlier is better for both crowd and noise levels. I cant believe that there is not service for dress. People looked like they slept in their clothes. The food is always amazing but its been 10 years since we have been there and the noise is the same. If your priority is only money and it seems like it then you are on the right track.
