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.

Great restaurant! Great service! Great sushi!
Dinner was great just service was slower than normal getting our food. We were there for over 2.45hrs. We will be back could just have been a staffing issue I. The kitchen that nite
Always my favorite place , but this time some of the guest's did suggest possibility of some place else next outing. First time I have ever heard that . I was surprised.
I mean one out of 100 so so experiences isn't enough to make me change . I'm pulling for embers next rip too. Might be dining alone :) .
One of our favorite restaurants and so well run it never lets us down!
We eat here when we have a special occasion . This was our 49th anniversary . they did not disappoint.
Amazing! Just as good if not better than Jeff Ruby’s!
Our waiter went above and beyond to make up for a kitchen that was running way behind on food service. That being said, although the food was delicious, it was way overpriced.
Maybe a few more selections on the menu but overall a great place to have a nice dinner.
The food was awesome as usual. Out server was wonderful & very attentive. Expectations were met like every visit we make to embers. Thank you!
Our steaks were perfect! The side dishes were just ok. I was a little disappointed with the brussel sprouts as they were not crispy at all. The rest were fine. The service was absolutely perfect.
Food was awesome, but a bit pricey.
Food was perfectly prepared and everything tasted amazing!
Food had absolutely no taste. Caesar salad was bland with hardly any dressing. Beet risotto and salmon also very bland, could not taste the balsamic vinaigrette. drizzle. My husband had a different salmon on menu and tasted exactly the same - no flavor.
As for service, we sat for exactly 15 minutes before a waiter came!
Valentine. Great food, service and hospitality. Consistently a great place to eat for years.
Awesome experience, live locally and will be back. Excellent service.
Embers is one of our favs! We'll be visiting again soon!
Food was great, serving staff was very inexperienced, lots of requests that were forgotten or went unanswered.
We celebrated our Anniversary, the food was delicious and service was excellent!!
We were seated promptly, our server was great, the dinner choices were good.
Always a great meal at Embers!! I truly miss the shrimp and mushroom appetizer though......
Always one of my favorite places to eat! Embers never disappoints?
Food not cooked well
Just ok. Food was overpriced service not what would be expected for this price level. Trios their sister restaurant would be a better bet.
Were were very happy with our visit to Embers, we were celebrating a birthday and we were given a perfect booth to seat our group. The service was excellent, our waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. All of our meals were outstanding and I definitely hope to return.
Feros was our server. He was great. Sushi here is always great
The steaks were not cooked correctly, mine was cold. the waitress took the sides from my business partner before he was finished, very disappointing since I told him this was the best steak restaurant in Cincinnati
Great Ambiance! My wife loves it! $$$ worth it. Highly recommended!
The staff is amazing. A special thanks to Mike the Manager. Food is top notch. I will be back often.
Always dependably good! Very quiet on a Monday evening.
Food and ambiance was amazing! Waitress was ok overall great experience!
Mostly everything was very good. Service was goo however there was an error in our food order. I ordered a seaweed salad that never came (and it was on the bill) but decided against saying anything because we given 2 free desserts because we were there to celebrate a birthday! Would return to restaurant in the future.
Always a good meal and a destination treat to get out and about.
Another great experience at one of our favorite restaurants. The Kobe roll never disappoints
Everything was great. But it is too loud in the bar area. With special seating you can’t even hear your party.
Awesome vvv
Our server Todd was amazing. The food was delicious. What a great experience. Love this place it never disappoints.
The main issue we have with embers is that when we called to make reservations we requested a seat at the bar. We were told you cannot reserve bar seats but we could get a table in the bar. We managed to get to embers early and we were able to get two barstools. We noticed at the bar they were reserving seats for their “regular” customers. There were two seats reserved with reserve signs, later in the evening they reserved four more seats with reserve signs for other “regular” customers. I am not sure why they make exceptions for their customers you should either be able to reserve a seat or not reserve a seat at the bar. We typically go to embers once a month as it is not close to where we live however that will be the last time as for the way we were treated.
Great food and service. Ask for Courtney, she is great!
The staff & server set the tone for the evening. Manger visited our table twice & Courtney was personable & attentive. Food is always wonderful.
Server brought us food we were allergic to.
