Opened in the spring of 2004, Embers is a contemporary American Steakhouse with a twist. Classic Steakhouse offerings along with complete selections of seafood & sushi are available in a warm inviting atmosphere.

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.

                                The service was excellent. The food was okay. When I say okay, it was lacking in flavor and was somewhat dry. I had the seared filet and my family had the Thanksgiving dinner special. Overall, it was okay.

                                Had the Sea Bass and Filet Mignon and were very tasty. My favorite wine, a Viognier, was available. Service was good.

                                The donuts would be much improved with a choice of sauces.
