We had a meal at Emba last night and overall enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was chilled, and the staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. They were also very good at keeping our wine and water glasses topped up without being intrusive. We started with a cooked oyster before our starters. My husband chose the chicken broth option and thoroughly enjoyed it, while I opted for the seaweed version. Unfortunately, mine arrived without the crumb as described on the menu, which was a little disappointing, and I was undecided on it overall. For starters, I had the scallops, which were divine in flavour and beautifully cooked with a yuzu and lime sauce. However, there were only two small scallops on the plate, and at £24 I would have expected at least three, so that felt slightly underwhelming in terms of value. My husband had the crab soufflé, which was absolutely delicious. For mains, I chose the monkfish. While nicely presented, I found it a little watery, almost as though it had been recently frozen, which unfortunately diluted the accompanying sauce. Again given the price of the dish £37, this was disappointing. My husband’s beef short rib, served with cabbage and potatoes sides, was excellent - tender, flavourful, and very well executed. We were also disappointed to find that there were only two dessert options available. For a restaurant of this standard and price point, we would have expected a broader selection to choose from, which limited the overall dining experience somewhat. Overall, a restaurant with a good atmosphere and attentive service, with some standout dishes, but a few elements that didn’t quite match the pricing.
