   Great Mediterranean restaurant. Everything is served mezza style on small plates. Spicy hummus, fried broccoli and sweet potato latkes to start. The broccoli was a little oily, the hummus was perfect accompanied by toasted pita and my favorite was the latkes which were served with a flavorful sauce. For the main course we shared shrimp and salmon kabobs. The salmon was flaky and moist, so good! My wife had Giuliana Prosecco. I started with Prosecco, migrated to Donati Cabernet and finished with coffee. We shared sticky date cake and frozen Greek yogurt for dessert. I’m not a fan of the whang from the yogurt but it’s part of it. My wife threatened to lick the plate she loved it so much. Service from everyone was impeccable, everyone was friendly and fast to respond.

   Bottom line: overpriced middle eastern "tapas". The whole menu is meant to be shared so if you don't like sharing your food, I don't recommend it. You will get a little plate that all dishes come with serving spoons and your expected to share. Our old fashioned was too sweet for our liking and pricey ($26). You're basically getting downtown prices for the suburbs. We also thought it was strange that our waiter scheduled our food to come out at specific times. If you're Middle Eastern, you won't be impressed.

   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!

    Great overall experience! Flavorful options, unique combinations that really popped. We were a group of four and enjoyed each plate! A few standouts: Brussel sprouts, corn hummus, shrimp, romaine salad…all excellent.
