Embers, as the name implies, evokes the warmth and comfort of a glowing fire; from the stacked-stone torch and gas lanterns outside to the glowing candles within. Black & White photographs of Cincinnati landmarks and celebrities create a sense of history and place, while large oil canvasses and vibrant floral arrangements punctuate the rooms with color.

Menu
The food was fantastic and our server Nick was outstanding.
We sat at the bar and ate from the bar menu. We enjoy doing that. Our bartender was professional and engaging. We love the happy hour!
Embers was amazing! My husband and I went there for date night and it was perfect. Tayloranne was amazing and went above and beyond! We will definitely be going back!
Our meal was very good overall. I have only had sushi and salad here but the sushi quality is outstanding. I like the breadth and uniqueness of the sushi menu and the taste is awesome. We were in the bar area and the service there was great. The prices are very high overall. The food and execution are good so I don't think it is a bad value but the prices are very high. I think you have to either want sushi or a very large and expensive serving of meat to appreciate the restaurant but if you do then this is a nice option.
The drinks are delicious, my husband loves the fig Manhattan and I really enjoyed the flirtini. The chicken spring rolls are crispy and fresh. We both had a filet. I had the pan seared 6 oz, really tasty. My husband had the 8oz. Mine was better. The au gratin potatoes were prepared perfectly. 😋
Had a very tasty dinner on our anniversary night. Thanks
Great food with great service!! Thanks for a fabulous dinner celebration. Would recommend for sure.
Excellent food, service and experience
Thanksgiving Dinner very good!
This was our 3rd consecutive year the family celebrated Thanksgiving at Embers.
I think this says it all for the 5 star rating.
The food was excellent. Our server was friendly and efficient. My only complaint was that I had to fish the green beans out of my lovely sweet potatoes.
We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, our reservation was honored right on time. We had a seasoned waiter who was spot on with his service. Great evening!
Excellent!
This is the second time we've dined at Embers for Thanksgiving and it was excellent both times. We will, for sure, be back next year.
Always a solid place with 100% reliability on every aspect of an excellent dining experience. Phenomenal staff : start to finish.
Have been in several times and it’s always the same : excellent
Wonderful food, outstanding service! Will be back!!!!
Great server & great food & wine
Have been there numerous times and never fails to impress, all around.
We love this restaurant for a soup and sushi dinner. Their other dishes are good, but this lighter choice makes it an easier choice for us for a casual weeknight treat
Second time dining, and excellent across the board from being seated promptly to the order being taken immediately and the quality of the food. I will always recommend Embers the ambiance was a plus. Our waiter was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. I did try sushi for the first time here and I wouldn’t get it anywhere else now. Thank you Embers.
Husband’s birthday dinner could not have been better! The food was amazing, the service impeccable. Our favorites: entree: filet, side: mushroom risotto, donuts for dessert!!
We have been here many times and always have an outstanding experience!!
Excellent restaurant. Very consistent. Service like most places has slipped.
Great food, great friends, great conversation
Amazing sushi and steak and service as always.
We, like a few other couples in the bar, had tickets to an early show downtown last evening. The wait staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. Nice work!!!
And the food was great as always.
Fantastic food, wonderful selection, and the staff was personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. We will definitely be back.
Always a fantastic experience. Food and service are exemplary. Cocktails are solid and killer sushi!!!
Our waitress, Samantha, was amazing and very helpful navigating the menu!
Service never introduced herself and seemed in a hurry and didnt want to take the time to be friendly.
Sushi special was incredible. We both ordered the strip steak (rare), and they were perfectly prepared. In addition, the sides we ordered (grilled asparagus and duck fat fries) were off the hook delicious and were enough for four people. Our waitress, Michelle, was a true professional who made my wife's birthday truly memorable.
Excellent as always. Thank you!
Rob was our server and was excellent. Food was great.

Consistently wonderful as always. Robert took great care of us. Loved the Amish Chicken!
Excellent dining experience . Great food and outstanding service in a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely return to Embers.
Birthday celebration for my wife. Steaks were perfect and our waiter was superb. Thanks Feross!! Great job
Our meal was delicious. The steak was cooked exactly as requested. The staff was excellent as well. The noise level was somewhat high, but not so bad as to detract from the experience.
Birthday thanks
We had a great time celebrating our 2 year anniversary.
