Restaurants near Austin Park

The food, drinks, and service was outstanding. We enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and will definitely come back.

The food and service was very good. The only problem was that they were out of a lot of selections by 7:45 PM. We still had a good meal and beverages. Our server was wonderful. We will definitely be back.

A group of us met there to catch up. The music made it hard to hear and when the live music began, it was more of a challenge. The food was good and portions nicely sized. We had 2 burgers, the daily special NY steak, and a salad &soup. We all enjoyed the food. Service was inattentive- I think she had too many tables throughout the restaurant. But, we are looking forward to returning and enjoying the outdoor patio.

Our group had a fantastic experience at Ema, where both the service and food truly stood out. Our server was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of the meal exceeded expectations. I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully they accommodated an allergy at the table, taking extra care to provide indicators for safe dishes. The dishes were vibrant, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with quality ingredients. Well done Ema!

01.16.2025 Ryan, Bartender and Server Ryan, like Tina, his typical bartending partner (see below), does his job extremely well. He is thoughtful, professional, kind, polite, warm, caring, and genuine. His food and beverage ordering suggestions are always helpful and instructive. Ryan makes customers feel comfortable and valued. He always remembers and to my continuing delight, usually delivers my favorite libation without being asked. Also, as with Tina, Ryan treats everyone with the same high level of care and service, not only the regulars. We have observed him and them long enough to know. Of special note, one truly valuable and rare highlight of Ryan's character is that he is chivalrous. To be clear, every Cooper's Hawk Morton Grove employee with whom we have interacted has been above average. I point to these two in particular because they are exemplary. If I had employees or perhaps even children, I would feel quite fortunate to have Ryan and Tina be among them. This may seem over-the-top, though I mean it most sincerely. And I believe S. feels the same. Also, for clarity, we receive and expect no compensation for these reviews. We hope to provide some warm return and share our gratitude for people whose presence and kind assistance make our lives better.
