Restaurants near Elmwood Park

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.

The food was alright. Ambiance was wonderful, but neither made it worth returning. Service was lackluster & disappointing. Hostess told me there was a 15-20 minute wait even though I had a reservation. Waitress made us feel rushed once we sat down & we had to ask for water several times before it arrived. Definitely not the Corner House of old.

We Visited for the special dinner menu on Valentines Day. It was special . We will be watching for more specials in the future.

We sat at one of the bar tables. Our server was excellent, super friendly and very familiar with the menu. She had a smile the entire time! The food was excellent, they were busy but was still excellent!

We dined on Valentine's Eve and the food was excellent and the service very attentive. The lamb shank and lobster entrees were delicious, and perfectly prepared and portioned. Pistachio tiramasu was a delightful surprise. A warm and welcoming atmosphere at this new location. On a previous visit we had experienced slow service due to under-staffing but on this occasion, it was perfect. Thanks for a fantastic dining experience.
