    Shane our server was really good at suggesting the drinks, food and went over and above to make our dining experience a good one even though the food was slow coming out. Open concept made it too loud. We were a party of 4, 2 of us were slightly disappointed in their pizza orders. Price of branzino that came without any sides was ridiculous even though the taste was amazing. Might sound like a mixed review but that’s how we all felt. Probably will not be back as there many other restaurants to visit

    My wife and I went to Embers on a mid-week night. The food was good, but it took a long time for someone to take our order and to b served. It had been a particularly pleasant day in early spring and the server said that had driven up their business and affected service.

    Our first experience at Ember was AMAZING! The food was fantastic you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu (you HAVE to get the halloumi though) and our server Shane was also amazing! Will be back.

    Excellent service and great food. I also found the prices reasonable so if you're looking for a great "special occasion" dinner spot before continuing the night somewhere in the market (or just staying there and enjoying the vibes!) I'd highly recommend!
