    We enjoyed our experience at Embers. Dined at at table beside the bar. Food was very good and the portions were generous. Nice selection of wines and craft cocktails. Given the arrangement of the restaurant and bar, right off of and open to lobby, the level of noise in the restaurant can be high. There was a table of eight on the main area near the fireplace and their voices were load. To the point of distracting other guests. Might benefit from acoustic sound panel to reduce the noise level. Overall, a very good experience.

    Wonderful food and atmosphere. Accommodating of children —they do have a separate (cheaper) kids menu which both the children and I appreciated.

    We had a wonderful meal with the somewhat limited menu. Prices a little high but in keeping with other local higher end restaurants. Would like to see some vegetarian options as a meal and not just sides put together. Maybe a curried lentil dish with rice, or fried tofu with sautéed veggies. Just a thought! It is a bit noisy but not over powered by music. Would definitely go back!
