    The service was excellent. Food was good and unusual. I think the small plate portions were skimpy for the prices charged.

    Ēma in Glenview delivers a Mediterranean dining experience that feels like a journey to the olive gardens of Greece. The ambiance is stunning and serene, matched by attentive and helpful service. This restaurant elevates Glenview’s dining options with its exceptional offerings. The well-crafted cocktails complement the menu perfectly. The hummus with lamb ragu and octopus carpaccio set the tone for an unforgettable meal. For mains, the spicy brisket kefta and grilled chicken stood out with their perfectly balanced spices and juicy tenderness.

    Altho it’s a large space, table arrangements feel private and not crowded. Lovely upbeat ambience, delicious small plate menu. Very good service.
