Emilio's Tapas Bar Restaurant

Stopped here on an impromptu date night. The place was busy but we were able to be sat quickly. The food was amazing. We shared multiple plates and our server provided great suggestions. They were out of some things on the special list which leads me to believe that they were sought after. The replacement dishes suggested were amazing. The staff is great and they have a great system to make sure that your table is being tended too. I definitely recommend this place.

Emilio's is hands down the best tapas restaurant! I've been going here for years and it's never a disappointment. The food is absolutely amazing - always fresh, bursting with flavor, beautiful presentation, and so delicious! Not to mention their wonderful sangria! Top notch service - the staff is always extremely friendly and very attentive. The place is always extremely clean. The ambiance is warm and inviting. I legit wish I could dine here every day!

So I was in Chicago and was craving something different. Different flavours, different atmosphere and I stumbled across Emilio's. I'm glad I did. This place F'in rocks!!! I went in with the expectation of getting some Paella for dinner but when I arrived the atmosphere and quality/friendliness of the waitstaff made me want more. I tried some tapa's PLATO DE JAMÓN SERRANO was excellent so that led me to the PULPO A LA PLANCHA which was excellent as well. Full of flavour and the contrasting textures with light dressing on top was a perfect follow up to the white sangria that I tried. They really knocked it out of the park with the first couple plates. At this point I was mid way through the test drive and it was time to see what this place can really do so I punched it and went for the PAELLA A LA VALENCIANA with a red sangria. I felt that both were more traditional so I thought it would be a good gauge vs my previous experiences with other Spanish restaurants. It did not disappoint! The
