The experience was interesting and the food was special, but honestly it was simply not that tasty and didn't warrant the insanely high price!
With water (600 rubel per small bottle!), wine, the tasting menu and service the meal cost 13,000 rubel!! I would've been fine with paying the price if the food was better

The asparagus wasn't cooked and while the meat was done to perfection it was topped by too much raspberry sauce, the fish lacked any flavour, and the dessert had too much gelatine so it became like stiff jelo

We complained about several dishes, and while we got two of them replaced with much better options, we didn't feel like the staff is trying to do anything to make sure we leave happy.

After eating at some other chef restaurants in Saint Petersburg, we can confidently say that foodies should absolutely avoid going to EM

If you are in St Petersburg, this place is a must try! I dont want to spoil you with details.. it’s worth every penny. Excellent food and very attentive staff. Great ambient for dinner. I tried the tasting menu and enjoyed everything apart from the dessert, which i dont think it’s their strong suit. But other than that, it was faultless. Well done Em!

The 8 course meal was truly a Michelin experience. Each or the courses was delicious and unique. The chef is very talented and speaks English fluently. Hot Chocolate is not on the menu, but was made on request and is by far the best anywhere in Russia. It pairs perfectly with dessert.

Awesome place. The food is amazing - the menu is set so you don't choose but every single dish is great. The service is great as well. Highly recommended if you would like to have a quiet evening with great food and great wine

We had high expectations for this restaurant, but unfortunately they were not met. We had the 7 course set menu. The first two dishes was pretty good, but the rest was just okay. The mutton was dry and not very good! The waitress was in a bad mood and rude. We have been on many other «normal» restaurants in Saint Petersburg with way better food for a lot less money. Don’t waste your money here.
