    First time to Ema Glenview and the dinner was great. The energy and the vibe was awesome. Our server was very considerate. Food was delicious, especially the charred eggplant spread. Everything is pricey here but overall a good experience. Complimentary frozen yogurt for birthday celebration was a nice gesture but was too tart for my taste.

    Food was delicious. Service was a bit slow. Felt perhaps like a new crew on their first weekend night.

    All good except new recipes. Loved old Ora salmon dish. The new one does not come close. I think that investing in real champagne glasses would be a great suggestion. Everything else is just perfect.

    We went there for lunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious and attractively presented. The green beans were the best I have ever eaten. The salmon skewer was perfect. The staff was both efficient and gracious. The room was bright with natural light, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed.
