Which Emeril restaurant?

Thanks for the tip, we will have three kids with us, my DS age 13, and my two nieces ages 11 and 9. Would the food bar be okay for them too? They are well behaved, and my 13 year old is a fan of Emeril's (of course we know he won't be there) and he loves to talk to adults (probably because he is an only child)! I've already made the reservation for August 14 at 5:30, when I call in to confirm two days before could I then request the food bar?

The kids will be fine at the food bar. I'm sure they'll get a kick seeing all the activity that goes on behind the scenes.
But I wouldn't wait until two days before as the food bar seating fills up VERY quickly. I'd get back on the phone today.

I would love to know the answer to this question too! My children absolutely love him and have asked me the very same thing.

Well, I just made my reservations on Opentable.com for both restaurants. I wanted to make sure we would be able to get in. We will be on vacation so I think that we can splurge a little while we are there. After reading the reviews I am very excited about both but am really excited about Tchop Tchop. Let's see if the food could really stand up to the reviews.

Now if we (I mean I because my DH could care less) could only decide on an onsite resort all would be good in my world.

We've only seen Emeril once, about 5 years ago, when he was taping one of this shows. We've never seen him at any of this restaurants.
We do love both restaurants, but we tend to favor Tchoup Chop and wee bit more.
And we LOVE (and I mean this in a BIG way) Portofino Bay Hotel. The hotel is just magnificent, the rooms are beautiful, the pools are amazing. The everyone who works at that hotel really go out of their way to make you feel very special. We've stayed at RPH and HRH, and though they are great hotels, we just really like the feel at PBH. and we love the Italian singing at sunset on the piazza. What a way to end a day!!!!!

Neither, Emeril needs to kick it down a notch!
