We have eaten there 3 times this year and the food was always excellent. I agree the atmosphere is very fun even if you aren't a basketball fan. Dishes we have had are: Philly Cheesesteak, NBA "3 on 3" Appetizer (Chicken Quesadilla, Pecan Chicken Tenders, and Sweet & Spicy Smoked Wings), Maple Glazed Pork Chop, Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza, Grilled Salmon, and from the kids menu - Denver Nuggets, Bulls Burger, and Piston Pizza. All were very tasty especially the pork chop. DH and 2 others in our party last week had the philly cheesesteak and all 3 declared it delicious. IMO, NBA City is the best restaurant at Citywalk. I haven't been to Emeril's so I can't comment on it.
