Chef's Table & Tasting Menu @ Emeril's Citywalk

[tarheelmjfan]

I've read about a Chef's Table at Tchoup Chop, but can't find anything on one at Emeril's (we prefer Emeril's). Has anyone dined at one there? If so, could you provide some details (i.e. making a reservation, how many people are seated at the table, is it teen friendly, price with or w/o wine pairings, etc.). In your opinion, what makes this experience better or worse than dining in the regular restaurant?

Also, I'd love more info on the Tasting Menu that is served in the regular dining room (i.e. price with & w/o wine pairings, number of courses & choices, etc.) Does everyone at the table have to order it? Our DS(14) obviously can't order the wine pairings with his meal. Will that be a problem, if DH & I decide to go that route?

Last question... I remember that when we dined there before we had to tell them in advance that we wanted the chocolate souffle'. I don't know how recently the menu has changed. Do they still serve it? If so, do you still need to tell them in advance. It was great, BTW.

Thanks in advance, for any info you can provide.

FYI, I'm also posting this on the Universal board, but thought some of you may dine at Emeril's but not post on that board.

We did the tasting menu at Emerils with 5 other couples back a few years ago. It was OUTSTANDING. Truly, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had.

I don't recall all the details, but I think it was about $100.00 per person and that everyone at the table did have to order it. We didn't have any children with us, but I would assume that would be an automatic exception to that rule.
