Emelia's Kitchen - Fayetteville

My lady and I stopped in to this little restaurant this past Saturday night. The food was pretty good, the drinks were hit and miss and I’m pretty sure the tiramisu was frozen and not made in house but a dining experience should be about more than that. It’s about the food, the service and the atmosphere. When we were seated, there was an older couple at the bar who were undoubtedly the owners or managers. One standing behind the bar and the older man sitting at the bar with his chair turned toward us. She was also facing us from behind the bar at a side view. It was very unnerving as they stared and watched our every move as if we were there to cause trouble. They did this the ENTIRE time. Probably won’t be going back here. Our server was so very kind. But the owners of this business may think about being more appropriate and hospitable to their guests in the future.

Incredible dining experience. I have to admit I was skeptical when squeezing the small area past the door. I didn't expect much since it was very busy, understaffed and the only workers there looked like they were in the weeds.All of the skepticism disappeared though when our lovely server promptly brought us drinks and took our brunch order. I had the Classic eggs Benedict and my partner had the Bacon/Mozzarella omelet. All the food was fantastic. The service was outstanding despite the crowd and the drinks were pretty good too.10 out 10 definitely recommend ??

A good friend of mine was visiting Fayetteville so we went to Emilia’s for Sunday brunch. We walked in and the older woman who seemed to be the owner looked us up down proceeded to tell us they were booked for the rest of the day. Not that there was a wait for 30mins or 2 hours, booked for the rest of the day! We were both in black athletic wear (pants with long sleeve tops) we did not look inappropriate or thrown together. We both had our make up hair done. As a women in my thirties I have NEVER felt so humiliated. My friend I left. I will not return with any friends or family. Note: I have been to this restaurant before I liked the food but I am absolutely appalled by the rudeness.

Had brunch today with three other people, and we all, had a great time. Salmon omelet, crab Benedict, lobster Benedict, and French toast all got great reviews.

Start to finish we had an incredible meal. I had pictures sadly I had to change phones and they did not transfer
