Consistently exceptional. The Mushroom Bisque is our absolute favorite along with the Black Truffle Filet. The Bleu Cheese on my Jaguar Salad is some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband loves the house vinaigrette. The cocktails and desserts were excellent as well. Always a treat!

Had a pleasant Christmas Day luncheon. It was crowded as expected, but the food still came out quickly and hot. 2 of us had the filet mignon and one had the tuna. Everything was very good and the cognac brownie prepared at the table attracted a lot of attention. We would recommend

Celebrated Christmas Eve with my family. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Our server Alec was friendly and did an excellent job. The food was excellent as it always is at the Precinct. I had the boneless ribeye, my wife a filet with bearnaise sauce, and my daughters had the salmon. Everyone was happy with their choices and we had a wonderful evening. Looking forward to the next time we have an opportunity to go to a Jeff Ruby restaurant.

It's always a treat to be able to enjoy a delicious meal at Embers. The steaks, the seafood, the sushi......oh my goodness! I almost always get the sushi feature but tonight I ordered the Snow Cod. I believe that's what it was called. Anyways, the cod was absolutely to die for! Our waitress was top tier, very professional and very personable. We will definitely request Tayloranne again and again!
