GLENVIEW, IL — With a successful location in Chicago’s River North neighborhood since 2016, the owners behind Ēma, a Mediterranean and California-inspired restaurant, are excited to be soon opening a second establishment in Glenview.
Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants tells Patch the restaurant will open Tuesday for lunch and dinner at 1320 Patriot Boulevard.
“We are thrilled to bring Ema’s lighter style of cooking to Chicago’s North Shore suburbs,” said Marc Jacobs, Executive Partner and Divisional President, Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. “I am excited to offer Ema’s dining experience right here in my own backyard and to be part of the welcoming community.”

Ēma will join other Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants on the North Shore, including Wildfire (Glenview), L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge (Lincolnwood), Saranello’s (Wheeling) and Di Pescara (Northbrook).
According to the owners, Ēma “aims to transport diners to a summer day in the Mediterranean with a mezze-style menu that spotlights the best-of-the-season ingredients paired with Mediterranean wines and spirits.”

Top Chef Duels alum Chef Partner CJ Jacobson’s menu combines his California roots with inspiration and flavors gathered from his travels and time spent living abroad in Israel, Europe and the Mediterranean. To view the full menu from Ēma Glenview, click here.
The wine list features more than 70 globally sourced selections, with a focus on wineries practicing organic and natural production across the Mediterranean, including ancient grape varietals from Greece, Lebanon and Italy.
The design of the restaurant was inspired by a “summer day in the Mediterranean.” A 230-plus-seat restaurant features warm, textured finishes, including ivory brick, natural stone and reclaimed rustic wood. In addition, an expansive skylight and operable window system “floods the space with natural light.” Cream sheers, sprawling ivy, potted trees and lush plant life fill the space.
Ēma will be open daily for lunch and dinner with carryout, weekend brunch, delivery and large group event bookings to follow later this fall.
