    First, positives. The place is beautiful - the plants, the light fixtures, the set up and overall ambiance - are terrific. The most important thing about any restaurant- the food - absolutely delicious. Amazing flavors! Our favorites were sweet potato latkes, short ribs, salmon and the classic hummus. What I didn’t enjoy was the incredible wait. It took us almost an hour to get the first dish, and that was after flagging our waiter. Children’s meal came an hour and a half after ordering. We came here to celebrate a birthday, a special occasion. The way we were treated didn’t feel special at all. So I probably won’t be back.

    The service was excellent. Food was good and unusual. I think the small plate portions were skimpy for the prices charged.

    Ēma in Glenview delivers a Mediterranean dining experience that feels like a journey to the olive gardens of Greece. The ambiance is stunning and serene, matched by attentive and helpful service. This restaurant elevates Glenview’s dining options with its exceptional offerings. The well-crafted cocktails complement the menu perfectly. The hummus with lamb ragu and octopus carpaccio set the tone for an unforgettable meal. For mains, the spicy brisket kefta and grilled chicken stood out with their perfectly balanced spices and juicy tenderness.

    Altho it’s a large space, table arrangements feel private and not crowded. Lovely upbeat ambience, delicious small plate menu. Very good service.
