    Amazing, interesting food and so many gluten-free options! I have to go back because I wanted to order everything. The gluten-free bread with the wonderful smoked eggplant dip was shockingly good. The cabbage-tofu dish was lovely, as was the brown butter halloumi. I'd suggest sharing the halloumi and pairing it with something lighter, as it is a lot of cheese. The prices were reasonable and the service friendly. And they let you make a reservation for the patio. Ember sets the bar high and then surpasses it. I hope that other restaurants take a page out of their book.

    I had the moules frites and it was delicious with a generous portion. Ordered the classic espresso martini, as also fantastic! I went during their happy hour 9pm to 11pm, meaning our drinks were 2 for 1. Overall great experience, starting 11pm music starts playing and we can dance.
