   Very poor service. Did not explain entree options and quantity of food for the price was just a bad deal. Waitress had a poor attitude to our questions.

   Our food took one hour to show up. We waiter was never around. We have to leave without having coffee or dessert as it was getting later for our other commitments.

   Delicious! Gluten-free and perfect! The chicken keffa and halloumi kebabs were terrific, and the hummus, falafel and Brussels sprouts were fabulous too, all presented with incredibly fresh vegetable garnishes. Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Great service—they brought me scrumptious gluten free crackers without me having to ask. I’ll definitely go again and enthusiastically recommend to friends.

   The food was great, but it felt very crowded, with many tables crammed in. We had a 5:30pm reservation and we're seated immediately. The wait staff were very attentive and refilled our water several times during our meal which was appreciated.

    Went with a group of five last night and everything was fantastic. Jocelyn took really great care of us and her recommendations were perfect. Food was delicious and the lamb ragu, brussel sprouts and the lamb kebab were my personal favorites. The 2013 Tempranillo Reserva was worth every penny and paired nicely with our heavier fishes. 10/10 highly recommend Ema!
