Eric Linquest | Emeril's
Meril Restaurant was the interior buildout of a one-story shell space in a historic Warehouse District building to house the first new Emeril Lagasse restaurant in New Orleans in 18 years.
The original façade was preserved, and signage, lighting, and an awning were added (with the guidance of the HDLC) to emphasize the entrance of the new 167-seat restaurant. All new infrastructure was put in – mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. The kitchen has 6 hoods, a pizza oven, fryers, grills, etc. There are six species of wood finishes in the building with mesquite crosscut wood floors.
The restaurant has been a tremendous success from opening day, and has been an asset to the ever-growing residential community that is historic downtown New Orleans.
