    First time and we were delighted. Our server Cindy was terrific! Had mushroom escargot, octopus carpaccio, chicken kefka and then salmon kabobs, wonderful brussel sprouts and Sticky date cake. Hard to choose best but salmon kabobs ranked right up there. Back soon.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu and flexible on when to bring the food to our table. Food was very good and relatively reasonable considering how much it costs to go out to a nice dinner these days.

    Always a great time @ Ema’s! So many delicious choices - great for sharing! Love the ambience & vibe, sometimes the noise level is a little loud but it’s only because people are having a great time! Don’t sleep on the corn hummus!

    Had a great time with friends out for a birthday dinner. Delicious food, and the staff was excellent. Great decor and ambiance. It was pretty loud in there, though I think we were lucky to sit in a booth where it was a bit quieter. Will definitely be back!

    I asked the hostess to mention to the waitress it was my husbands 70th bday. She didn’t. The iced tea came with barely any ice and I had to request ice. Silverware was not changed between courses though the plates were thus we constantly had to ask for new silverware. The food was great. Plenty to choose from if you are vegan and gluten free. If my husband’s bday had been acknowledged I would have given a 5 star rating. Which I rarely do.
