Went for restaurant week. The RW menu was diverse with generous portions. Good wine pairings. We enjoyed everything. Only qualm is that the environment is definitely too loud/chaotic for an intimate dinner, and the seating isn't super cozy, almost fast food chain like, you feel close to you neighbor.

This was the second time I had lunch at Ema in Glenview and like the first experience, everything was excellent. I highly recommend the tuna patisse (it is slightly spicy) and both the brussels sprouts vegetable dish and the brussels sprouts salad. We had an early reservation for so the restaurant was quiet when we arrived but by the time we left, it was almost full, which was festive.
