    Our server and service was great. Liked most of the food we ordered…vegan cheese cake was amazing. The octopus was eh. Loved the eggplant and falafel. It was too cold in the restaurant and we were sitting right under the vent.

    Amazing food. We enjoyed all of the dishes: humus, Brussels sprouts, shrimp, latkes, short rib polenta. All delicious. Service was attentive and helpful. Wine list should be more accessible in price. There's no incentive to get a bottle. We would have ordered a second bottle if the price point was better.

    Empty tables everywhere, I had 5pm reservation and they wanted to seat me right next to the service station and kitchen. I refused to sit there. If they had not found me a different table I would have left. Food was delicious and service from the wait staff was great.

    We had a great lunch at Ema today. The food was delicious but most importantly, our service from Nathan was terrific. We look forward to returning soon.

    Our group had a fantastic experience at Ema, where both the service and food truly stood out. Our server was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of the meal exceeded expectations. I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully they accommodated an allergy at the table, taking extra care to provide indicators for safe dishes. The dishes were vibrant, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with quality ingredients. Well done Ema!
