Classic American Comfort Food
At Emma’s Ale House, diners will enjoy classic American Comfort Food in a refreshingly unpretentious and convivial atmosphere. Emma’s blends great food in a cozy, family-friendly dining room and fine spirits at a lively bar, where full meal service is available.
Named after Casey Egan’s beloved yellow lab, Emma’s Ale House opened to rave reviews in November of 2008. Egan likes to describe his menu as “American comfort food, two real positive terms,” he says, adding he’s hoping to convey a “relaxed and fun” atmosphere. Entrees include short ribs, buttermilk fried chicken, seared salmon, fish and chips, brick chicken and westchester’s top burger. Starters include the restaurant’s signature mac n’ cheese, a house salad with mesclun, cranberries, almonds and goat cheese with champagne vinaigrette, spinach and artichoke dip, and a classic French onion soup. The bar will feature 10 drafts which will be rotated–”a little different variety of beer,” said Egan–16 wines by the glass, and a selection of bottled wines and beers.
