Ēma Glenview

Went on a Sunday night to celebrate my wife's birthday. Lucky we had reservations because the wait was 90 minutes. As soon as you walk in you feel the California vibe in this upscale Mediterranean restaurant. The interior decor is absolutely beautiful. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server Nathan. He was very informative and helpful since my wife is Gluten free. The nice thing is just about everything is gluten free. They have an extensive wine list and a few specialty craft cocktails but a few of them are pricey. Limited beer selection but they do have some creative Mocktails. We started with the Hummus with Lamb Ragu. It comes with a basket of warm homemade pitas and they brought out homemade chickpea crackers for my wife. It was amazing. Since this is mainly a small plate dining experience,we tried the Sweet Potato Latkes,Chicken Kefta and Spicey Brisket Kefta. Each plate came with a flavorful dipping sauce along with red cabbage,grilled sweet onions and lemon dill rice. Everything was amazing but we did bring food home as the portions were large . For dessert they brought my wife a complimentary Birthday Frozen Yogurt which was a nice sweet ending to a fabulous dinner. Plenty of parking but you do need a reservation if you don't want to wait. We will definitely be back!
