    Relaxing “ inside/outside “ atmosphere. Food is very good and Mediterranean interesting with plates to share, making it nice to try many dishes. A tad noisy but fun.

    Our waitress did not come by the table for over 30-40 minutes and we had to order with another tables server. Other than that the food and experience at Ema is always lovely

    Excellent all around! The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were top notch. Chris our waiter was attentive and explained all the dishes to us. Food came out as expected while we sipped on drinks that were great. Small plates were flavorful and interesting to try. Everyone was attentive and dishes tasted top notch. Highly recommend to try 2-3 different dishes per person. Enjoy this neighborhood gem!!

    Ema continues to impress with its unique Mediterranean cuisine that no matter what you order, is always good. Only way ambiance could be improved is if they added a rooftop deck in the summer.

    Restaurant space and ambience is nice. Food and drinks are overpriced. Food was good but mixed drinks (cosmo) were tiny for the price tag and only ok. Service started off great with our initial order but then felt that we were trying to be rushed out as the dessert menu was dropped off rather than asking if we’d like to order anything additional from the dinner menu. Waiter was difficult to find when we wanted to order something additional and again when interested in getting the final bill.

    While we had reservations - we did not like being seated in the bar area near the entrance! It was extremely cold and our waiter was polite but impossible to find for our order and our bill!!!

    Food was delicious and space is gorgeous. The entrees, veggies, hummus are all good sizes but appetizers are a bit small. Felt my cosmo was small as well. Pacing of the meal was a bit off though which is why I didn’t give 5 starts. Lots of waiting for next dish and veggies came long before the entrees so ended up filling up. Will definitely return.
