    Service was impressive. Constant supply of water, great timing between meals, waiter was excellent. New plates between meals. Food was awesome. Sweet potato latkes had the classic latke texture and flavor with an added creaminess and sweetness from the sweet potato. The falafel was very well seasoned and the sweet creaminess of the beet tzatziki was complemented perfectly by the savory, slightly grittiness of the tahini sauce. The harissa crusted halibut was perfectly cooked flakey fish with a beautifully salty dashi mushroom broth. The harissa crust itself had a cheese-forward flavor not unlike cheez-itz, but in a good way, brightened up by shavings of lemon zest. The frozen yogurt with olive oil and sea salt was a bit surprising in that it was more cheesy than I had expected it to be. The yogurt was great and the drops of olive oil carried a salty punch to them and had hardened ever so slightly from the coldness of the yogurt. The burnt honey cake was great. Tall light multi-layered cake with light burnt honey whipped cream and some other warm spices like cinnamon. The honey cake tasted eerily similar to cinnamon teddy grahams from when I was a kid. The meal was very good, with creative twists on classic dishes that were enhanced by bold flavors. The nostalgic elements of flavors from my childhood were special. The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend Ema, and if you’re ever in Chicago to try Aba as well. Both are great restaurants.

    Our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. I had the mushroom risotto and my husband had the angel hair pasta with claims and octopus; both were outstanding.

    Food was delicious. Menu options were a bit limited, as well as cocktail options. But they do have a good spirit variety so you can ask to have just about anything done. Great experience overall.

    On Valentine's Day, a packed house did not cramp Francesca's style. Service was attentive, food arrived hot and in a timely manner. And our meals were delicious!

Discover North Suburbs

The north suburbs of Chicago are very popular for those seeking a quiet meal away from the hectic downtown area. The north side is similar to other parts of the city in many respects, including its food scene. Fine dining is available for those wanting a great steak or lobster in an elegant atmosphere. There are also several seafood houses with a variety of fish fresh from Lake Michigan. International food is probably the most popular, and Italian is first on the list with many authentic eateries and pizzerias. Other available cuisines include pan-Asian and Indian choices, along with Mexican and Brazilian locations. Of course, Chicago is known for its night life, and there are many bar-and-grill restaurant combinations throughout the city, including the north suburbs.
