   Went on Fri 8/23/24 6:30 reservations -Got seated immediately -Inside seemed a little warm so asked for outside last minute & they were able to accommodate us. (Noticed later heat must have been from the beautiful bifold windows to create indoor/outdoor dining that there was warmth coming inside) -Started with their apple cocktail which was refreshing and beautiful presentation - Server was professional helpful knowledgeable & friendly. We learned later that it was only her, the owner (who was very humble) the bartender & the hostess running the whole place. They like many places we're understaffed but handling it so well. There were at least 12 reservations that walked in while we were there. -We got to try al 4 empanadas they were all delicious but for our taste budds spinach & cheese and the corn were outstanding but really they all were excellent & they were extra creamy inside, as well as, the shell was perfectly deep fried without any freezer burn or mush. -Our grilled octopus had the exact amount of char without being bitter or hard at the same time drizzled with good flavor and tender without being rubbery. The topped potato sticks were crispy, plentiful and nice flavor only change would be too cut them down shorter awkward to balance on fork and get into your mouth. -Our dinners looked as good as they were. My skirt steak was charred without bitterness but marinated so it was so tender & flavorful. Mashed were whipped silky smooth. Asparagus had the correct char and crunch. It is so easy to get that char wrong but this chef never did. -My husband had the tuna that was the right color for freshness & cooked to the correct temperature. I forgot what grain he said it was topped with, but he really enjoyed it! -Unfortunately, we had to skip band that had just started and dessert because the mosquitos that are brutal in Bergen County had just come out. If it's not crowded in size you could prob ask for a table inside for dessert. Def will b back!

   My husband and I consider Emma to be our new favorite restaurant. The staff makes you feel welcomed and treats you well. The drinks are always great as is food. It never fails to disappoint.

   Delicious food. Great atmosphere. We ate on the early side but imagine it would be a very fun and lively experience if later in the evening. Service was very attentive and owners made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. I wish this new restaurant luck and success.

   The food was so unbelievably salty. Maybe just an off night but all 6 people could barely eat the food it was soooo salty and overpowering.
