Chef Emeril Lagasse recently partnered with old friends at the Rockwell Group, to renovate Emeril's New Orleans Fish House in the MGM Grand Hotel. The spacious restaurant, seating 225 people, was renovated to reflect the origin of Emeril's seafood creations. From the soft glowing blues, to the wave like wood accents, to the metal wavy sculptures (looking like seaweed flowing with the underwater current) running up the sand colored walls, to the fish scale tiles and aqua colored leathers in the patio area - one would think that they are dining at the palace of King Neptune.

One thing that was not renovated was Emeril's commitment to using fresh, top quality ingredients in the dishes he creates and employs cottage industry ranchers, farmers and fisherman to ensure that he will always get the best for his restaurants. He tirelessly explores the Gulf waters and the Louisiana countryside to discover untapped sources for delicious and interesting food experiences.
