We had a great dinner at the emilios tapas restaurant, I like the tapas ideas, as in this case you can chose from so many different selections. All the dishes are very tasty, I like the seafood one especially as the flavor is so good. One dish was not so great is the lamb leg, which is a little bitter as it is overcooked, but we have finished it also. The bill is reasonable with more choices than bid dinners! I will give 8 out of 10 points.

Emilios Tapas

I like that place, it always seems like our bill is high compared to other placed, but I end up there when people visit at least several times per year.

They also have some recipes on their web site:
Emilio's Tapas - Recipes

good to know that they have recipes, have you ever tried to make it at home? How does it turn out?

Tapas - No I have not tried yet. Honestly I didn't know the word before seeing Tapas in Chicago restaurants. I take it that it's Spanish? How does Tapas in general differ from just say preparing simple dishes?
