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

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!

We dined to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Megan was our server and she was outstanding! She is so friendly and knowledgeable of all the menu items. She isvery relaxed and didn’t push us through our meal, so we had plenty of time to enjoy our dinner. As an appetizer, she recommended the Herbstreit sushi roll, which was delicious!! As always, every course is a large size, so things are quite shareable for two people. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Megan and hope to request her as our server in the future.
