   Ema is just a wonderful restaurant. The food is delicious. This is the third time I’ve eaten here and it has been consistently great! The service is always great too! Thoughtful and helpful and very friendly. It’s so beautiful too- bright and airy. Very fresh. I have tried a few different things in the past, and they were delicious. The Charred Eggplant appetizer with red best pita! Their pita is so great! The shortrib sandwich is a taste sensation! And the frozen Greek yogurt dessert? Don’t miss it. It is not inexpensive, but it’s well-worth the money! A special place, to elevate your everyday!

   What a wonderful dining experience! From the hostess who greeted us to the beautiful decor with large tropical plants and interesting light fixtures to our outstanding server, Christopher who helped us finalize our order with amazing choices, we enjoyed it immensely! The date dessert is not to be missed! Everything was soooooo good! I can’t wait to return.

   Disappointed that all (7) sharing dishes—hummus, dips, hot brussel sprouts, hot vegetarian side—all came out at the same time, instead of being brought in the sequential, overlapping fashion we had experienced in the past in Glenview and at the city location. By the time we got to the warm dishes, they were cool and not as flavorful as they would have been soon after preparation. We scheduled this late get together (reservation at 2:00PM) so that we could share a couple of relaxed hours together… The ability to stretch out the time came from feeling compelled to order more beverages and dessert so that we were not overstaying our welcome. Overall, the whole experience felt as if the staff were was trying to rush us through the dining process.
