I recently my birthday dinner at EMA, and the staff and food were phenomenal! I was blown away by their ability to accommodate a large group of 16 in a timely manner. My guests were thrilled with the delicious appetizers and entrees, which were just the right size and flavored to perfection! To top it off, the chef personally came out and served a special, off menu dish for me (it was to die for!) :D A plus all around. Price was $20-30 pp, aka very reasonable for this quality of food!
