Emery in Mariemont~ Bringing you seafood and more - Hey Michelle

The closest ocean is about 9 hours away, but lucky for us we can get some amazing seafood at Emery! Nestled in the heart of historic Mariemont, Emery is the new restaurant for the Looking Glass Group that already serves up some great food all over Cincinnati at S.W.Clyborne in Mason, Tahona Kitchen & Bar in Blue Ash, Fretboard, and more coming soon. Emery, which is named after Mary Emery, was a Cincinnati philanthropist and was a big part of developing Mariemont, so it’s a fitting name for the new spot.

Atmosphere:

The spot has been vacant for about 14 years so this is the new buzz. There are two levels of dining both have a bar (perfection because sometimes I love just having a bite at the bar). The street level is cool and casual… It has a great window wall where you can watch all the hustle and bustle of the kitchen; while the upper level is a larger space a little more “formalish” but still relaxed :). Make sure to take a look at the great saltwater tank, (ask for the names of the fish… they are like a part of the family). The ambiance is soothing… I love the way they tied in the ocean theme from the wave-shaped lighting, the wave wallpaper, and the seashell high top type seating against the wall. The music is fun (if you’re my age you will be singing along:).

Food & Drink

There is a wide variety of seafood delights that they’re passionate about, but no fear, there are options for your non-fish eating friends. Chef has prepared so many tasty dishes! Look at the pictures for some of my faves. They also have a pub menu with hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and more to enjoy while sipping some great cocktails. They have a fantastic Happy Hour Tues – Fri 4-6 pm and the cocktail menu offers a good variety (if you get the Elderflower & Pear (and I strongly suggest you do, eat the pear right away ‘cause it’s amazing).
