    Everything was quite good though we waited quite a while for the kababs to be brought to our table. Our vegetables were cold by the time the kababs came out. Otherwise, it was a wonderful evening with friends.

    First time at Ema's in the suburbs. Great experience in every way. My friend had chosen it for her birthday lunch and she was very happy with her choice. We will be back.

    Aside from the noise level, which made conversation a challenge, the atmosphere is lovely and very enjoyable. The pita and hummus were both terrific, but beyond that, the food was kinda meh. Could’ve used more seasoning (the spicy wasn’t and no discernible salt) and quite pricey. Plateia’s food is better. That said, it was our first time and there were many offerings we did not try. We’ll likely give it another run, but I was disappointed.

    Omar really made your experience special! It’s always a pleasant surprise when a server has that perfect mix of attentiveness and a welcoming, friendly attitude. Omar made you feel like a priority without being overbearing which is a skill that really stands out. Ray, the manager, came over to say hello! It's always a nice touch when a manager takes the time to engage with customers, especially when there’s a personal connection. On a different note, I did feel that one of the hostesses could have been a bit more warm when we expressed our concerns about the table she was seating us at, as we weren’t particularly fond of it. She seemed somewhat less receptive to our feedback, which was a bit surprising given the otherwise positive atmosphere

    Love the ambiance of ema, the food was great and the thought that the value was perfect for restaurant week! Service was a little slow but I'm thinking it was more our server than anything because we noticed tables around us (who had different servers) were getting serviced faster than ours.
