Emilio's Tapas Bar Restaurant

Came late afternoon, got a seat right away. Food and service was amazing. The place was packed by the time I left.

My first time here and I was expecting to find it to be perhaps my favorite go-to tapas place in the burbs. Far from it. Be prepared to get hard cheese, stiff and cold bread and a shortage of shrimp and small clams in your seafood paella. All I got was 2 shrimp and 2 clams in a panful of undercooked and super pasty rice. Sure, the calamari was plentiful, soft and the only thing that seemed decent. I was very dissappointed in the quality of preparation of my Paella con Calamares, Almejas y Gambas that you have to wait for 30 minutes to be "done" in the oven. Not worth the wait and it is over priced. Stay home, the black bean soup I had while waiting is nothing special, just puréed beans, you can make it yourself. The waitress didn't even tell me her name but she did talk politely although was just short of asking me how was everything when I was done and more interested in selling me dessert. No thanks, I will not be back.

Always delicious!!

Came from out of state to eat here after hearing my mom tell me about it for years. It definitely lived up to the hype and I can't wait to come back again.
