The Blue Room at Emilia's — Restaurant in Fort Worth

The Blue Room is a smaller more elegant restaurant tucked away within Emilia's which itself is tucked away within the hotel.

The service and atmosphere is fantastic but it often felt almost lonely. Service lasted about 3-hours and by the end the restaurant was mostly empty. It was a shock to walk out the doors to a more lively bar and restaurant scene.

"Jackets are encouraged" but I didn't feel out of place amongst the other diners without one. The AC is cranked up so it may be a good idea to bring one.

We started with an unexpected hors d'oeuvres menu, I had the Everything Bagel and Lox and was surprised to see it served as a miniature ice cream cone. My dinner companions received what's described as a mini-ravioli and were both confused how to eat it. This course seemed designed to peak my interest for what was to come but it ended up just falling flat because of the long delay between the next course and the lack of novelty in the rest of the meal.

My spouse and I split The Little gem salad next, it was fine but not exceptional.

The table split the Lobster Fra Diavolo. Topped with a good sized lobster tail on bucatini pasta with a hint of spiciness to the sauce. The lobster and sauce were good, the flavors were there. But I didn't feel like this dish offered much for the senses.

I finished the meal with the Fish of the Day, a mediterranean sea bass. It was cooked perfectly, flakey, on a bed of polenta, with sundried tomato relish. This was the best dish of the entire meal. I spent time trying to savor every bite and was disappointed when I cleared my plate that there wasn't more to enjoy.

I'm not really sure what the Blue Room is trying to be. Fine-dining with novel presentation, or elegance, or just expertly prepared food. They don't seem to excel at any of these things.

Overall small portion sizes will likely leave you hungry, inventiveness that never reappears after the hors d'oeuvres will leave you let down, but well executed entrées, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere may help...

The Blue Room @ Emilia's is an exclusive restaurant with a beautiful, delightful, and comfortable atmosphere. Their staff, who are highly trained, is friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a good first impression. The only thing is, I don't recommend going there if you're hungry. We started off with a great choice of wine. Although the culinary experience was excellent, the main course portions were like appetizer portions. The first thing they offer is a pre-appetizer menu. The oyster was my choice. The server mentioned it was a teaser, and it was indeed! It was one tiny piece of breaded oyster, served in the shell. That was more of a show than to entice one's appetite. Following that, there is the complete appetizer menu. We passed on that. I ordered the 'Pork Secreto', which consisted of five bitty thin slices of pork served with a small piece of watermelon. The pork was delectable. No sides were offered to accompany the dish. My husband had Chilean Sea Bass. He enjoyed it and expressed his satisfaction with the presentation. There are no options for sides with that either. Although we're not big eaters, the serving size was not enough when we were excited to savor a wonderful meal. We enjoyed the bread that was served warm, and even asked for seconds. Without a doubt, the Chef is an artist! The quality of the food is excellent. We didn't have dessert. We decided to go somewhere else because we did not want any more surprises. We've been to other exclusive restaurants like Monarch and Morton's, etc., and enjoyed ourselves, leaving satisfied and with a more memorable...
