    I have been wanting to go here for a long time. Had Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was amazing! From my cranberry cinnamon gimlet to the amazing truffle at the end. It was served family style and it did not disappoint. The turkey was juicy and the pork cooked just perfectly. The sweet potato gratin was my favorite. I have left overs to enjoy today. The service was friendly and warm. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves and the ambiance delightful. A stellar performance!

    This was our first visit to the new Ema Restaurant in Glenview. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday. The restaurant decor was beautiful, the server Ellie was very friendly and helpful in explaining our choices on the menu. Our meal was delicious and we enjoyed our selections and were happy with the delicious Greek Yogurt dessert for the birthday girl which we all happily shared with her. We give Ema 10 stars and will be returning and we will recommend your restaurant to everyone! The Kupperman Family

    Noel was excellent waiter. Made suggestions that we followed on our first ever visit. Butternut squash soup was delicious Smooth and creamy. Needed a tad more heat. Niçoise salad with rare ahi tuna asked not blackened was plentiful and very tasty. Substituted feta cheese. Their famous burger was justified. Carmelized onions and brioche bun
