    Been looking a several steakhouses in the Carlsbad area and wanted to give Ember & Rye a try for a business dinner. My salmon was incredible. Juicy and tender and not overcooked. My coworkers all got the steaks and they said that they were really good with a perfect sear. We'll be coming back again to try the other dishes.

    The server was extremely slow getting to us in between courses. We sat for a very long time waiting to be asked about dessert and then also to get our check after dessert.

    We were excited to try this restaurant based on sister establishments but were very disappointed in our meal. Of everything we ordered, the items we enjoyed were 1) drinks 2) mushroom side 3) cob salad. All of our steaks and main entrees were not up to par with the prices, and the hamachi crudo was bad as in the fish was bad and made us nervous that we might get sick the next day. I wish we had a better experience, especially for the price!

    Everything was simply delicious! We cannot wait to go back and try more from their menu. Everything was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The salmon was phenomenal. They have a Denver steak which is up next for me to try but I heard other patrons raving about it. Their dark knight martini was out of this world as was the vanilla raspberry cheesecake. Everything was just top notch.
