A True Neighborhood Tavern With its homelike atmosphere, the Valley Lodge is one of the iconic and go-to restaurants on the North Shore.

In 1997, new owners Bill and George Stavrou carried forward the tradition in Glenview, and later in 2014 when they opened its Wilmette location.Our philosophy has always been and is to create a true neighborhood tavern. One where our guests can be comfortable, relax, and take the whole family, friends, business associates, or even the whole team where they can enjoy quality service and exceptional food at a great value.

We visited Ema's for my wife’s birthday as a surprise—she had no idea where we were going! My son joined us for the celebration, and from the moment we pulled up, my wife was thrilled to try this new spot. Upon entering, we were immediately welcomed and seated. Our waitress was exceptional, offering thoughtful recommendations from the menu. When the dishes arrived, they were beautifully presented, and the moment we took our first bite, we were blown away by the incredible flavors. The food was truly outstanding. I highly recommend Ema’s to anyone craving delicious Mediterranean cuisine—it's definitely worth a visit!

Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

Have been going to Andie’s for almost 30 years (since pre-remodel & expand). Always love the food. Service depends on the visit, but this visit was one of the best ever. Keep up the good quality & standards like this and I’ll be back for another 30, God willing.
