    What a delightful restaurant. The food is flavorful, interesting and delicious. I particularly loved the brisket kefta and date cake. The restaurant is beautiful. And our lovely server was extremely helpful and friendly. I can’t wait to go back.

    Food was great but you have to like Mediterranean cuisine otherwise not much else to order. Very attentive staff. Did feel a bit rushed. Head a 6:15 reservation on a Thursday night which was made at least a month in advance. Very hard to get a reservation. Food comes out quickly.

    This was the second time I had lunch at Ema in Glenview and like the first experience, everything was excellent. I highly recommend the tuna patisse (it is slightly spicy) and both the brussels sprouts vegetable dish and the brussels sprouts salad. We had an early reservation for so the restaurant was quiet when we arrived but by the time we left, it was almost full, which was festive.
