   There were 3 of us. We ordered 2 Caesar salads and a beet salad for starters. Delicious! Then we all ordered the catch of the day which was redfish over veggies and grits. Everything was wonderful. The portions are large so we had some to bring home too. Love this place! Service was well paced too. We will be back!

   Very nice atmosphere. Great happy hour specials including a variety of $5 very generous apps. Menu has a large selection of small plates which are quite large enough to share and make a meal out of a few. Will definitely return.

   Such a fun and delicious evening! The ambience at Embers is the best on St Simons Island. Lighting is perfect for relaxed dining and the decor is lovely. We had attentive, friendly service from Christie. Noise level was energetic but not too much for our party of six to easily engage in conversation without straining to hear. Food portions were generous and reasonably priced. I’m never disappointed at Embers!

   Visited many times. Good food and service. this time a disaster. Ember hosted a 13 YO birthday party with at least a dozen girls. Although you expect kids to be a bid loud, this was ridiculous. for an hour these kids were doing the equivalent of cheerleader cheers, yelling and screaming, to the point no one in the restaurant could hear themselves speak. everyone was upset. the sad part, management did nothing to intervene. We will not be back, and I do not expect anyone else that night will either. One my worst dining experiences.

   Excellent service and incredibly flavorful food! We tried a couple of apps/tapas and entrees and each dish was exquisitely designed with every ingredient complementing the others. Creative, delicious dishes!! Combined with Lucsher Haas’ service, it could not have been better! We will be back!

    I never leave reviews. However, as a former restaurant owner and extreme foodie, I love this place! The number one reason is I can taste the difference between prefab food from Cisco and US foods and fresh ingredients. More and more places are merely taking food from trucks and warming it up. Ember is truly a gem. Fresh is worth the extra $. Would love to see the scallops back soon and the plantain appetizer. They are two of my faves.

    It was not a good experience. Fine dining prices with inattentive staff and substandard food. The fish of the day was basically a large serving of inedible carrots with a side of fish. Portion sizes were small and not in alignment with the price. We waited 25 minutes for a server and ended up having to flag one down. A server waited on both tables either side of us and never acknowledged our presence. There was half live music- someone paid to sing karaoke. Overall an expensive disappointment.

    Wonderful experience! We had a concert in St. Simons and the performers requested to eat after the show. Ember was able to accommodate us even though we arrived a few minutes before closing. Our performers, who live in NYC raved about the food. I had the short ribs which was excellent. I really appreciated the superb service as well.

    The first time I visited Ember a year ago I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the other night was seriously disappointing. Food was below average and quality of steak was embarrassing. Service suffered because of the larger groups and lack of staff. Too many good restaurants around. I wouldn’t waste your time or money.

    We had only honestly heard bad things about this place but didn’t want to write it off just yet. We went on our date night with our daughter and from the beginning the experience was great! Our server (I forgot his name- handsome young man with cross dangle earring) was great and was efficient. Our daughter is one and he didn’t mind her craziness. He did great . The food from the appetizers to the dessert was so flavorful and great. I couldn’t believe how amazing it was. We will deff be back again!

    This is my second time to Ember and it did not disappoint. The food and service were all amazing. We ended up there on Trivia night which made the ambience a fun atmosphere. We ordered many different items from the menu and it was all incredible. From the salad, to the pizza, to the egg rolls, to the brussel sprouts and finally the braised beef short rib dinner. I would highly recommend. Great place for a group of people to share plates, like we did, or a quiet dinner for a couple on date night. I think it satisfies both quite admirably.

    A fun, hip place if you’re in the mood for shared light bites, pizza or entrees which included steak, shrimp, short rib, pork, fish or mussels. The pizzas can be shared for two people. We had the Pot Pie pizza, which tasted like it sounds. The Aristocrat with its roasted garlic fig spread was a good choice. Good ingredients. We enjoyed our meal.
