Best Cozy Restaurants in Glencoe

Great food Excellent service Fast service We will be back

Loved my experience here! I had an incredible experience at Ema from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was seated right away, which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively yet comfortable vibe that made it the perfect spot for a meal. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Mediterranean-inspired menu offers a great variety of small plates, and each one was a hit. The hummus was silky smooth, the kebabs were perfectly cooked. Pairing everything with a glass of wine made for an even more memorable experience. Service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. Overall, Ema exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, this place delivers. I can’t wait to return!

Amazing food and vibe. First time, on Valentine’s Day. Staff was pretty busy but the staff handled it well. Kitchen, waiters, bussers all on point. 8oz filet cooked perfectly with flavorful garlic crust, my lady had the skirt steak which was equally flavorful! Wanted the tiramisu but they sold out, will be back! Owners and their friends made us feel like family!

Everything was fantastic. The only thing I would suggest is that when you order a fillet medium well maybe the server could ask if you’re OK with it being butterflied because ours is pretty pink inside. Although it tasted fantastic

Wonderful delicious vegetarian food. Outstanding service, beautiful restaurant with plenty of plants around. The service is the best overall. Attentive, caring, helpful. All the entrees are delicious. We had the red coconut curry and forbidden fall, both of which are always delicious. The baos are supposedly not available until 4:30 pm and they made it a "legal" rule which is a bit surprising. The other unexpected thing was the dessert of carrot cake. We have had it previously, and it was always good However, this time, the cake was dry and stale and was not good. Other than that, this was another wonderful experience.
