Emerald Restaurant became a small phenomenon when it opened in 1999, bringing Russian & Eastern European food to a wider New York audience. We specialize in a diverse palate of Russian and French cuisine, extending from the Baltic to the Adriatic. Set in the heart of Rego Park, Emerald quickly became the destination restaurant of Forest Hills, Kew Gardens and the rest of New York. The exquisite menu and atmosphere make Emerald Restaurant a favorite amongst locals and an inviting surprise to the newcomers. Emerald’s romantic flavor accentuates its warm elegance providing a truly satisfying experience of fine dining and live music.
