The Atmosphere: Inventive and bold, yet conventionally elegant, this popular CityWalk restaurant is highlighted by its large, flashy colors, oversized art prints and shimmering glass. The exceptional serving staff circles around the multi-floored dining room like generals over a battlefield, though without the stuffiness you'd expect. Long lines and remarkable word-of-mouth makes getting a seat difficult. Big fan? Emeril makes monthly appearances.   The Food:  Start with the Maine lobster cheesecake, an innovative blend of the well-known dessert with hunks of lobster in a lobster saffron emulsion, or the crab meat strudel, served with hearts of palm and sweet corn remoulade. For your entree, don't miss the grilled veal chop, a 14-ounce slab of juicy meat consistently cooked to perfection and served with cheese grits, Capocollo ham, and mushrooms. The chocolate souffle or the creme brulee will surely satisfy your dessert cravings.
