Emle's Restaurant

EMIE'S RESTAURANT is a busy eatery that is well-known for it's breakfast menu. We went in the evening to try their Mediterranean vegan/conventional menu. Emle's food is light, not oily, salty, or saucy. Our server, Omer, did an excellent job explaining each dish. As an appetizer, we ordered the breaded and fried portobello mushrooms. It was served with a lovely garlic sauce. All four of us enjoy this vegan specialty. I found the vegan vegetable plate to be ample and satisfying. The house-made pita, served with the plate, is delicious. The other guests also enjoyed their meals, however, one guest found the lobster risotto too rich. One caution: the bread dip cantains cheese and is therefore not vegan. There where no vegan desserts on the menu. Covid masks are required for entry. UPDATE: Sam, the new owner, has polished the menu. Not a lot was changed. There's a new chef. Our meals tasted a smidgen better. Sam stopped at our table to make sure everything was fine. It was. We have returned several times since this review was first published. Emie's new chef and Sam have never disappointed. Both patio and restaurant seating are available. Emle's is near California State University. Students and faculty with ID cards, are offered a discount. On Sunday, Monday, and Thursday alcohol drinks are half price. Parking, including wheelchair parking, is free and easy. Everything else, including the neutral-gender bathroom, is wheelchair accessible.

If you love breakfast this is the place to be as they serve breakfast all day long. We made reservations a few days prior so it's a nice option they have if you have a bigger group. I went with three of my girlfriends. The meals are all pictured below. They have a very extensive menu with lots of options. Everything looked so good that I did not know what to order. They definitely have an emphasis on Mediterranean cuisine as that is the theme of most of their dishes. The service was just okay, but they are probably overwhelmed with the amount of tables as they have a lot of seating and customers.

I had eaten here many times before, several years ago, but haven't been back for quite a while.
