I lovd this pla e
Went with friends, loved it, will go again. Food was great quality and lots of different choices and tastes.
Great experience. Good good. Live music on Friday. Will for sure return again.
The food was outstanding but the special touch of Emilio himself coming out a talking to each table made it special!
I mentioned in the reservation that it was my friend’s birthday. We were so impressed....there were balloons, a card, and a complimentary appetizer at the table and then a special dessert after the meal. Everything was delicious and our friend felt so special. Thank you!!
Had a great time. Thanks
We had a large group. The staff were very gracious to help move tables so we could sit together. Service was exceptional and the tapas were delicious. Love this place!
Best place in town for authentic Spanish tapas, would highly recommend.
Never had a bad experience here. Favorite place to go with family or friends. Variety of tapas outstanding.
Always delicious and well made. Emmillio still works the room greeting diners. In the great tradition of chef owned, family restaurants, this is a winner!
Easter dinner. Nice but pricy. My well done meat, was sent back and still not well done. Medium well at best second time. It took so long, I just ate around the red spots.
It was my birthday and our friends and my husband and I had a great time. Food is ALWAYS delicious. This is one of our “go to “ places for a special dinner.
First time there, will be coming back! Loved the food (only had tapas, of course) and sangria! The scallop (special menu) was amazing!
Service was extremely average, some of the food was bland and honestly, overpriced. I wouldn't come again. Very disappointing and overpriced.
Decent ambiance with a wide selection of tapas items including some of the more traditional dishes. One disappointing part of our dinner was that while I had gone the extra length to make sure it was clearly stated that it was my wife's birthday the restaurant staff did not appear to read/ remember that little fact even though they appeared to remember that part of the reservation for two other parties...always important to keep on top of those details in the service industry. The owner did contact me afterwards to apologize that they dropped the ball but offer no other remedy to try to make it up to us in any way which seemed rather odd being in the hospitality industry and all.
Always a great place to celebrate your bday!
Good Sangria. No trip is complete unless you have the garlic potato salad, bacon wrapped dates, and caramelized banana with pistachios and ice cream. Anything else you order will not disappoint! Been coming here for over 20 years and will continue as long as I can!
Loved the food!
We went there for a birthday dinner. They were nice enough to put balloons on the table with a Happy Birthday sign. Also brought out a few dessert with a candle. Nice touch. The red sangria was very good, no added sugar, so the wine was the star. The menu was vast and the choices were excellent. We tried some cold dishes (goat cheese and egg/potato dish) both excellent. The hot plates were all good and decent sized, enough for everyone at our table of 4 to try. The paella was very good, make sure you order as soon as you sit down, take about 20 min to prepare. The portion was huge, recommend ordering for 2 people if you have a table of 4. Overall, it was a good experience and I would go back.
A little too loud. Great food.
The tapas were all wonderful, and the service was even better.
Our favorite local dining venue never disappoints. Emilio and Ann Marie are gracious hosts. The servers are highly skilled, know their menus, and always welcome us. We have been dining at Emiio's for over 25 years and the quality has been maintained - a rarity in the restaurant business. We nearly always select from the daily special menu although an occasional old favorite from the standard menu sneaks in.
The food and the sangria are always amazing!!
Very nice live Latin music on Friday night.

Emilio has perfected his cuisine. This is one of my top places to go for lunch or dinner - a regular day or a special one - a couple of friends or group.
Service is always tops.
They made our friend’s birthday very special. Balloons and a card signed by Emilio were at the table. Acomplimentary appetizer and dessert was so generous. And to top it off
Emilio came out of the kitchen to wish her a happy birthday.
Perfection!!!!
One of my favorite restaurants. Great seafood...the garlic and Spanish potato salad are a must
Once I was working with them as part of a local fundraiser, it reminded me they should be on my short list!
Definitely took us right back to Spain. Delicious!
Awesome service and food as usual.
I have been to Emilio's numerous times. It is a fantastic restaurant. The food and tapas are delicious. I love the atmosphere, and the look of the place. In addition, there has been a few times were el Senor Emilio has come out to greet his customers, which gives it a more personalized and classy touch to the restaurant. I just celebrated my boyfriend's 50th birthday there. We were surprised to find balloons on the table, and a card signed by Mr. Emilio. What an wonderful gesture. Thank you for the great food and service.

I have always wanted to try Tapas. Great first experience! Definitely going back!
Food is outstanding! Always very authentic Spanish cuisine. Tapas were brought to the table quickly. After several hot and cold tapas we ordered paella for 3 for 7 people and it was plenty. Very nice birthday touch-balloons at the table for our daughter's birthday and a profiterol dessert.
Going to Emilio's after 25 years is like a family reunion each time we dine there. We know some of the staff members for 20 years or more. Food is always excellent. Relaxing atmosphere. Daily specials offer variety from seafood to wild game to wonderful dishes from various regions of Spain.
Great food and service - as always! The food is always very tasty and fresh. Our server was awesome - very friendly, attentive and helpful!
Always a treat, never fails to satisfy!
Best service and best tapas! Love the live music and the ambiance !!
Outstanding food
Great Spanish Tapas! Large variety of foods. Special menu always very good!
Everything was delicious just as it has been for the last 29 years. One of my favorite restaurants
Food was fabulous and service great! Seeing Emilio is always a treat! He treated us to the fabulous molten cake! To die for! Thanks Emilio! We’ve enjoyed eating at your restaurant since it opened in 1988!! It’s always wonderful :)!
Delicious as usual! Good music, great food, lovely atmosphere, and a lovely wife makes Emilio's a favorite destination.
