    Loved my experience here! I had an incredible experience at Ema from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was seated right away, which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively yet comfortable vibe that made it the perfect spot for a meal. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Mediterranean-inspired menu offers a great variety of small plates, and each one was a hit. The hummus was silky smooth, the kebabs were perfectly cooked. Pairing everything with a glass of wine made for an even more memorable experience. Service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. Overall, Ema exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, this place delivers. I can’t wait to return!

    Everything was terrific! Food was spectacular. Great service. The wait time wasn’t long. Food and drinks came out fast. I would come here again, but likely for another special occasion.

    We loved the vibe of the place, although the energetic noise level made conversation difficult. Our server was attentive and so nice. She explained the menu items well and took care to protect those at our table with food allergies. The small plates menu was interesting, but we were disappointed that the Moroccan chicken dish we had enjoyed before was no longer available. The onion and garlic spread was delicious and the sweet potato pancakes were good although quite greasy. The crispy potatoes were nothing special, more like baked potatoes and not very crispy. For each of the four us, our fish dishes and kabobs were tasty, but extremely salty. It's not likely we will return to eat here again.

    We’ve dined at Ema multiple times and have always enjoyed the experience, but our most recent visit left us with mixed feelings. While the food and ambiance remained well above average, the service was far below what we’ve come to expect.
