    Loved the food variety. There were only 3 at our table, so we couldn't try too many entries . Next time I plan to go with larger group so I can taste some more of Ema's interesting selections.

    I’ve had a great experiences the four times I’ve been there before last night. Last night, they seemed to be a bit off their game. The service was extraordinarily slow on both drinks and food, and we were overcharged on the bill. They did correct the mistake, but didn’t offer to comp anything. I’m sure they charge a lot for drinks as people pay it, but it’s getting ridiculous.

    The wait staff was awesome. The food was so good and perfectly timed. The service was great never too much of a disruption but always ready to be of service. Our waiter was extremely intelligent with the menu along with the wines. A truly great experience!
