Big portions, okay staff (could be better), cozy interior. Just a very good choice if you're craving for Greece food. It's near the Flamingo wok and theres a big parking lot in front of the restaurant. I do think it's quite strange that they never make notes of who made Reservations and this has caused trouble on numerous occasions. So management wise Delphi isn't the best but the food is great and that is what counts.

People who have read my reviews may have noticed my love for Crème brûlée.
This "king of desserts" is as critical to its preparation as a good "shoulder of lamb"
Done right its just to die for, done wrong... well, read my previous reviews.
Now and then there are some chefs who want to invent a whole new one by adding new flavors or fruit or... you name it. Maybe they feel artistic, maybe they feel that the dish looks too simple.
But with Crème brûlée More is Less !
Nobody would get it in its mind to paint the Taj Mahal orange, or cover it with decorative flowers. Some things are best left original.
Granted.. I had my doubts when the waiter said that their brûlée was very good. I mean, We're not in France, we're in Emmen of all places.. But.. He was right. It was just perfect ! The sugar burned exactly right. Not too thin.. not too thick. The cracking if it sounded just right. And then the Custard .. Perfectly mixed.. fresh pure vanilla seeds, right consistency..right temperature.
And the best thing of it all... Its only a 5 minute walk from my home !
But I will not judge a establishment just by its desserts. The rest was of a very high quality as well. We visited the place with our Australian friends and the waiter directly asked them how they enjoyed the city, showing interest and made them feel very welcome. I had a dish of lamb, which was very well done, and the vegetarian dish that came to the table was equally good.
So, if you will take my word for it, A place that deserves a visit...or two.. or three or four ...or :-)

The restaurant offers 2 or more courses for fixed prices, the wine card give enough choice and represents good average quality. Prices for wine are o.k., you can also choose a glass if you do not want a bottle.
Very good quality of food, menue choices are small, but interesting, portions are o.k. if you are not a Grizzly bear. For me more than enough.

American steakhouse We are an American steakhouse with a decor from the 70's. All this is put in a modern jacket. Enjoy delicious casual steaks and ribs and fish. Also spare ribs and vegetarian are not missing on the map. The warm interior invites you to have a nice evening out of time!

Good atmosphere, good service, Reservations recommended on Friday and Saturday. Not a bad eating experience, my wife had the pork kabob with ribs, which were good. Meats were served on a bed of mashed potatoes with bits of spinach leaf, well presented. Meal came with French Fries, a Salad and another Potato dish (not baked). Couldn’t quite determine the spice used on the second potato dish, but wasn’t to my liking. A baked, with sour cream and chives, potato would have been better. I had the Ribeye, which, unfortunately was not available, but the house was gracious enough to substitute a T- Bone at the same price. T-Bone was a healthy size, and cooked to my request, unfortunately it was a bit chewy. Questioned the waitress and found out that the meats have very little fat content, presumably the reason for being chewy. My recommendation to the cook would be to use a bit of Meat Tenderizer in the future. Also wouldn’t hurt to marinade the steak in either A1 or HP sauce for a few hours for some additional flavor. Had I ordered the T-Bone at its full price I would have been disappointed.
Had the American Onion Soup as a starter and would have preferred a larger chunk of bread, and a bit more cheese. As served, the cheese was spread a bit thin, like morning toast jam, not very thick. Soup had a good flavor though.
Meats were served with a sprinkling of bell peppers. Unfortunately, bell peppers are somewhat unkind to us (later in the evening), and it would have been great had this been mentioned in the menu.
I’d probably return, but go with the Ribs next time.

One of the best "al you can eat" places in Emmen. Always good, always plenty to go for, and always my kids dinner consists of 20% healthy food as we tell them to, and 80% ice cream and chocolates. So speaking for my kids too, Thumbs up for this place !

This is a nice little butcher shop. Lots of good quality meats, special seasonal items, and they'll even order turkeys for you for thanksgiving if you ask in advance. They even do good things within the community, and have given discounts for homeless shelters in town. Definitely check this place out. They have exactly the right kind of service concept that keeps people coming back.

Having been here a few times, I was surprised that the restaurant was listed no. 22 of restaurants in Emmen when It could be a lot better then that. Almost all ingredients are there, but the right recipe has not been found yet. Location is not bad, and the place has a very nice feel to it. We were sitting outside in a spacious aria at the front of the restaurant. Drinks were served quickly. So, the setting was there. But what was missing ? Hmm perhaps that the food was just good, nothing special. Meat ( Rib Roast ) a bit dry, and the tomato soup was almost a diluted Pasta sauce. Too creamy and cheesy. but all in all, not bad at all. The service was kind and helpful but during dinner they left the table unattended for too long of periods. I guess the place just needs a bit more professionalism. Paying a bit more attention to details. Taking away used plates quicker, and come by a bit more often to check for drinks. So, could be better, but 22nd is certainly not deserved !
8. Su Sardu

Reviewed By Wolters - Emmen
There are restaurants that you know are good and you should visit more often but somehow you just don't. Su Sardu is one of those places. It must have been at least 5 years since I last visited this establishment, or maybe even more. Back then there was another owner and I remember the food was fantastic. Its not that it is a long drive, its right in the middle of the city and I must pass it at least 20 times a year, but somehow when we go out for a bite Su sardu is not the first thing on our mind. Perhaps its because its Italian and the first thing you think about with that is Pizza, but Su sardu is so much more then this. We visited the place with our friends as a farewell dinner before they went off again to Australia. Admitting it was not our first choice, I was happy that we ended up here. Although the interior is a bit to modern/cold to my taste, the service and food more then makes up for it. We chose the "Combinazione completa" and had several starters each well prepared and very tasty. As a main I had the "rack of Lamb" after the ( friendly and professional ) waitress ensured me that it was very good. And she was right !. The fresh pasta served with the dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned with pesto. After all this I could not resist the wonderful Torta al mango as a dessert. The whole evening was as it should be, Good friends, Good food, Good service.. It will definitely not be another 5 years before I return !

Reviewed By Julie T
We were three friends, and we wanted Sushis ! We stepped there randomly, and it was full, so we were seated at the bar.
There a waitress took our order. When ot was my turn he said: "too much order, I stop there" it was two plates and 3sushis each... So we had to share even if we were not supposed to.
Then they charged us 6e for water.
Anyway second round, I ordered first with another waitress. Weirdly this one was nicer and we ordered three times more than earlier.
Advice: don't take the noodles it has no taste at all.
Anyway. The Sushis were fresh and good but plates like teriaky chicken or even eggrolls are tasteless.
So if you go there, only take Sushis, there are awesome that's why I rate the restaurant four stars despite of the unfriendly part.
