I made a reservation for 5 people and was placed at a tiny 4 person table. I Asked if we could move to a larger round table that was open, but were not allowed to because there was another reservation coming and they said they’d have to move us in an hour. They then told us it’s recommended to order 2 small plates per person and to share. The problem is we did not have enough room at our table for our entrees and it was incredibly uncomfortable and caused tension around the table. Nobody ended u … – show
Came here for lunch and we were very impressed with the small plates. We started with the tomato bisque soup (Picture) which was one of the best soups I've ever had! The bread served with it was perfect for dipping into the soup. We followed that up with the hummus trio, and squash risotto which was great and perfect for a fall lunch. I also tried the So-Cal Sour and it was a great fall whiskey drink. Overall if you go for lunch I'd recommend no more than two plates per person, but def get the … – show
The atmosphere and the way the dishes look is pretty chic! We got the Japanese eggplant which is so good. Lamb ragu also great! Really nice combination of the flavors from lamb, spice and pita bread. I loved the braised short rib except the mushroom is a bit weird (feels like if substitute with a different vegetable would enhance the dish). Overall speaking really nice dining experience.
Had an absolutely amazing lunch here this week! I've heard of Ema before but had no idea it would be this good. Everything we had tasted amazing and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. I'd recommend the Farro risotto, the spread sampler, and the grilled chicken sandwich! Finally, the honey pie for dessert was TO DIE FOR. Seriously had the best lunch here.

Amazing experience: the food and service were impeccable. The place was packed the entire time we were there. We stuffed ourselves and loved every bite. I'm not a frozen yogurt fan, but I would eat their frozen yogurt dessert off the floor it's that good!
We had almond garlic hummus, eggplant dip, fried Brussels sprouts (disappointing), felafel (so so), assorted mushroom kabobs (best dish but expensive). Creative but overpriced.
Loved the chicken Kefta, beef/lamb Kefta, crispy potatoes are a must and the eggplant dip! Cocktails (cactus queen and slow cheetah) we’re just ok. Good amazing
Good place for lunch nice vibe and good spacing. Excellent small dishes. Please note this is an expensive restaurant.

The food is delicious and the outdoor seating is great now that COVID is surging again.
Nice Mediterranean/Greek restaurant. A place to go in Chicago
