We recently visited Da Emma after driving in from Ottawa, and another couple joined us from Toronto. The place itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, but unfortunately the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. What really disappointed us was the service. Our waiter was friendly at first, but after he made a mistake with our appetizer and we mentioned it to the first staff member we saw, he came to our table and whispered that we should have told him directly and not cut into the appetizer before knowing, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. To make things worse, the police showed up at the end of the night, and when we asked for the bill to be split, the waiter seemed surprised and simply told us to split it ourselves. Overall, while the setting is lovely, the food and service left us disappointed.
