    Lovely room. Most of the food was very tasty. Service is a work in progress. Dishes took forever to arrive and didn't have any rhyme or reason. Skip it on a busy night.

    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.
