    My main criticism is that the wine list now has only one Chardonnay on it when it used to have a few others. It is surprising that a “Lettuce” restaurant would not offer more options.

    Food was decent but when you think about how much you’re paying for hummus it’s ridiculous. We had a bunch of sides and then two chicken kebabs either 6 drinks and the bill was over $300. Then drinks are about the size of a shot.

    Wonderful ambiance - we felt like we were dining in a garden! The Brussels sprouts were among the best I’ve ever had, and the hummus that our server, Ashley, recommended was perfect. Will definitely return to Ema.

    Our service was very good. Interior of the restaurant is very comfortable. The portion sizes of the food is very small although very tasty. The overall experience was good, but I would say for the amount of food you get it’s overpriced. We had several dishes and we left hungry. We arrived around 5 o’clock and by six the restaurant was jampacked noise level was very tolerable.

    We had an exceptional experience with our server, Peyton. She was bubbly, friendly, attentive, and most thorough. As we walked in the maître D/person at the front desk was not friendly at all. This did not give us a good first impression. However, once we were in the dining area, the ambience made up for this first bad impression.  I suggest having a more friendly, welcoming person at the front desk.
