    Emilio's Tapas is one of our favorite places to eat. The restaurant is a happy place. The service is casual, yet absolutely professional, and the food is so very good. Everything we have tried has been delicious, and we enjoy seeing and talking to Emilio when he walks through the restaurant. He is definitely passionate about his dishes. We absolutely love the grilled calamari, and his famous garlic potato salad. The waiters are dedicated to good service, and they are friendly and proud to serve their delicious Tapas plates. Try the red sangria! You won't be sorry.

    The food and service are always good, but we miss the downtown location on Ohio which did not feel as cramped and overall had a much better ambiance.

    We went to Emilio's for Mother's Day lunch. We had a group of eight people. Emilio's was crowded and busy, but our server took great care of us and treated us like royalty. Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great service. We LOVE Emilio's!
