Additional Information
Ema is a delightful Mediterranean spot for brunch or any meal of the day. There are a variety of options on the menu so there is... sure to be something for everyone. The flavor profile of each dish is immaculate and the service is great. Our table ordered afew dishes with the starter being a trio of dips with pita bread. All of the dips were absolutely delicious so I'd highlyrecommend ordering this to start off. Next, we got this dish that resembled risotto but i cannot remember the name. It was sogood that I'd come back just for that dish. Lastly, I had the falafel sandwich which was good but a bit dry. I would have likedthere to be more sauce included so I ended up ordering some on the side. My main entrée did not stand out the way the startersdid but I still left satisfied nonetheless. If you're in the River North area and would like to try some Mediterranean foodthen I'd highly recommend stopping by for a nice lunch. Bonus: I saw the mayor of Chicago the day I went, so that's cool. Read more
Hands down the best meal I've ever had. My husband and I tried 6 different things off the menu (small plates and 2 shared... desserts) and there was nothing I could complain about AT ALL. Can't wait to go back Read more
Very romantic night vibes at this restaurant and our main server was very inviting. A nice spot for a date night and highly... recommend a seat indoors if you can to enjoy the lighting and decor. The food was good, mainly ordering several small plates toshare. Despite its appearance, we filled up quickly with our selection! Of what we ordered, the octopus was absolutelydelicious and the highlight of our meal. We saw many people order the falafel, and given the restaurant‘s Mediterranean theme,we did as well but it was a little too over cooked for my liking with an almost burnt taste and very tough to eat with your forkor even cut with a knife. The flavors were good but the doneness did it injustice. Because we ordered several plates we thoughtthat the wait staff would clear off the empty plates but it took them longer than expected and we needed to ask once. Read more
Excellent Mediterranean food and the best hummus I've ever had. We've already been three times in one month. We've almost tried... the whole menu and loved everything we ordered. Probably the most mediocre dish was the roasted potatoes, otherwise we werehappy with each item we tried. Even the cocktails are delicious. Will definitely be back soon! Read more

Enjoyed this place more than Aba. Really nice and cozy interior with comfortable chairs and lots of seating. I noticed the low... noise levels, which was refreshing! Didn’t need to shout across the table or strain to hear anyone. Pumpkin hummus was myfavorite as was the beet salad. Everything was so good! Read more
