    Ember is one of my favorite restaurants in the greater Scottsdale area! Last night we went to dinner with another couple at Ember and it was equally wonderful. John (Frenchie) is an outstanding waiter. He makes every dining opportunity an event! I highly recommend visiting Ember for an exceptional meal!

    This is the best fine dining experience my husband and I have had in years. It was our 10 year anniversary dinner and the staff went above and beyond! everything about the food and service was perfect! the bread was warm... the herb butter was room temp. The truffle mac and cheese and creamed spinach great! My husband had the lamb shank and it was huge and delicious! Its been a long time since we have had such a great meal.

    Visiting the hotel/casino for my wife's conference. The dinner at Ember was amazing. Top to bottom!! Management should be proud of their team!! "Frenchie" was one of the best servers we've experienced and we regularly visit luxury restaurants. He was fantastic along with his team!! We will make the trip back to Ember even if not staying on property.

    My wife and I had an amazing dinner at Embers. The staff from the hostess, to our server, the runners and the manager were all kind, considerate, friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding and we were treated like royalty for our anniversary. Embers gave us an anniversary card, 2 glasses of champagne and a delicious dessert so help us celebrate and enjoy our special night. We highly recommend eating here if you are staying at or find yourself near We-Ko-Pa hotel and casino. If I had to make one observation that we thought they could do better, it would be allowing guests to dress in shorts, t-shirts and hats. The restaurant was classy but took a step down when guests dressed like they, took their seats.

    As always, fabulous! Even though Alyssa was on vacation, Amber did an amazing job! From the hostess, to the Manager, to the food runners to our server, everyone was great! The food was cooked perfectly! We always come here for birthdays and our anniversary and are never disappointed. I can’t have nuts so I was given a spiced pear crème brûlée for my birthday dessert. Life is great but amazing when we eat at Ember!
