"The high-end New American restaurant Emmer & Rye doesn’t really fit much into Rainey Street’s food and beverage scene (other than its geographical location). The food showcases their in-house fermentation program and local ingredients, and while you can order a la carte, the tasting menu is where you really get to try all that the restaurant is about. This probably isn’t a place where you’d casually stroll in for a snack during a night out, but if there were any restaurant on Rainey Street worth making the trek for, this is it.
