   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.

   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.
