   We were a party of six and everyone was happy with their meal. My lamb chops were excellent (I’ve had them before) they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My husband’s filet was perfect and we both love the creamed corn. I was a little disappointed that my husbands birthday was not acknowledged, only because I had read previous reviews where special touches were made to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. No problem though, we will be back!

   Truly a special place for a special meal. Easily beats those big dollar, fine dining, chain “steak houses”. Service was personal, ambience was special, food was superb. Forget the gaming, just go for a fantastic meal and experience.

   I would highly recommend the Ember to anyone who just wants a very good meal and as a place to celebrate a special occasion. My wife and I were at the Ember to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary and very happy we choose the Ember. We were asked if we were celebrating anything and were surprised at the offerings that were supplied during our visit. The food was exceptional, and the pricing was very reasonable. My wife had the Braised Buffalo Short Rib and I the Veal Milano. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and provided meals for the next day. The wait service provided by Pablo and the entire staff was timely, attentive and with a relaxing after feeling. They represented the Ember in a remarkable manner. We plan on going back to the Ember soon.

   Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on July 28, 2022John, Thank you for recognizing Paolo and ask for him when you return. I'm so please we helped make you anniversary one to remember. Hope to see you back very soon. Regards, Brent Rumph GM at Ember

   We had a wonderful dinner. Our server, Frenchie, was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful with a great personality. The lamb chops and filet were excellent. They were both seasoned well and we loved the flavor of the wood burning grill. And, the restaurant decor is beautiful! The added touch of the piano music made for a relaxing and delicious dinner.

    Wow. Where do I start. We have never been here before and I booked a reservation for my GF's bday. As soon as I checked in the hostess wished her a Happy Birthday. We were then seated and there was a Birthday card on the table waiting for her. Our server Frenchy, who was amazing this entire experience, came over and wished her a Happy Bday and dropped off 2 glasses of Champagne. Brent Rumph, the GM, then came over and wished her a Happy Bday and dropped off 2 more glasses of Champagne. Frenchy then went over the specials, the menu, and any questions that we had. We started with (2) appetizers: Pork Belly with Quail Egg and jalapeno jam. The pork belly was so tender and amazing. The jalapeno jam gave it some sweetness/heat but not over powering. Wagyu Meatballs with a tomato sauce on top of a creamy polenta. Very rustic dish that was very flavorful. We didn't think the appetizers could be topped but we were mistaken. Braised Buffalo Short Rib on top of Bleu Cheese Mash potatoes served with carrots and spinach. The short rib was served with 2 rib bones and it was so tender the bones slid right out. Best short rib we have ever had. The Bleu Cheese Mash were so light and creamy and the veggies were cooked to perfection. 24 oz Porterhouse cooked to a perfection medium rare. The sear on the steak was amazing and the seasoning was spot on. The steak melted in my mouth and I couldn't wait for the next bite. Maine Lobster & Truffle Risotto was amazing. It had great flavor and lots of lobster. They even brought a birthday desert for the Bday girl. The food was amazing. One of the best dinners we have had BUT we can't stop talking about the service from top to bottom. Frenchy was amazing. Always checked on us to make sure everything was good. He knew the menu inside and out. Also, had this great attitude with a smile on his face. The GM Brent came by multiple times to make sure our experience was great and was appreciative we came.

    Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on June 29, 2022David, You are too kind! We all want to thank you for such a glowing review. I was all our pleasure to serve you and your delightful girlfriend. Please come back and dine with us again when you have the occasion to do so. Regards, Brent Rumph GM at Ember

    Frenchie is an absolute asset to your team. His service far exceeds the rest of the team. He exudes 5 star service! Items from other runners or servers were brought to the table and just handed across my guests, something that I don’t expect at a restaurant of the caliber and certainly something that could be taught by our server. Even the gent that appeared to be the expediter didn’t show 5 star service. Everything was delicious, my husbands lobster was under and Frenchie looked at it and knew also. It was sent back to the kitchen and returned still under but we didn’t send back again. Cocktails are amazing here!

    Hosted my sister’s medical school graduation dinner at Ember in June 2022. We had an exceptional experience and have no complaints whatsoever. Despite the restaurant only having a few tables busy (Tuesday evening), the service was first class, and they even kept the piano player on until the tail end of the evening. Our server was also exceptional and went above and beyond to keep out table happy, including some of my very demanding family members. Food wise, everything was on point. I split a 32 ounce ribeye with my father, and it had the perfect balance of lean mean / marble / flavor; we at every bit. I’d also highly recommend the wagyu beef on the hot stone or shrimp cocktail for appetizer. To drink I had the smokey manhattan, which had a great presentation and even better taste. I will absolutely be returning next time I’m in the Phoenix area.

    Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on June 17, 2022I wanted to thank you for such a detailed review and the time you took to write it. It gratifies ma greatly that we made your sister's night a special one. I look forward to have you back very soon. Regards, Brent Rumph GM at Ember

    I had the 8oz filet, which was melt-in-your-mouth good and my husband had bison, which was also amazing. The lobster risotto was also some of the best I've had. Service was top notch and everyone there went above and beyond to make us feel special on our Anniversary. We will definitely be back.
