We had the most wonderful meal from start to finish! Jenna was our server and she did an amazing job!! She was attentive and thoughtful in how she took care of us suggesting items she thought we would enjoy. Our glasses were never empty and the timing of the food and desert could not have been better. The food came out deliciously prepared with exquisite flavor! The cocktails were fun and exciting! We will definitely be back to enjoy everything on the menu with Jenna taking care of us! read more

Great ambience, and service. Stopped in at our turn and then again at the end of the round. Would recommend this to those of you who want a casual experience? read more

I had dinner this evening at ember and rye for my first time, came in with some old friends and shared the boneless ribeye, oysters, and A5 skewers! Food was amazing and the service from our waitress Jenna was exceptional. We sat next to the window and had a beautiful view of the golf course. I'll be returning soon for sure! read more

Enjoyed a nice Fourth of July dinner here. First we had a drink on the patio while the sun went down. Then we went into the bar, where we ordered full dinners. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. To top it all off, they let us know that if we lingered long enough, we could watch the local hotel fireworks from the parking lot. We pulled out a couple of beach chairs and had a blast! read more

My husband recently brought me here to have a special dinner before I was having a major surgery. It was not only one of the best meals we've ever had, but our service was incredible. Jenna took care of us from start to finish making every part of the meal special memorable and meaningful since we had such a large life thing happening in the future I recommend going to this place cause you get to pick your own steak knife for one. The croissant rolls with the butter seeping out with the salt on top were delicious. Thank you Jennia for taking such good care of us. Definitely a memorable experience. read more

We recently had a family birthday lunch At Ember and Rye. It's not my first time to Ember and Rye, but I'm always surprised how easy it is to leave the stresses of life behind as you are enveloped by the gorgeous setting and the care oriented staff. This time we again had excellent service from Noah and Manjolla. The food is amazing from the beet salad and calamari to the S'mores. I had a perfectly grilled filet and was able to sample the blacked salmon and swordfish thanks to family generosity. Everything was exceptional including the wine and the crazy good cocktails. With all sincerity, it is easily one of my favorite restaurants. read more

We had a wonderful lunch for our Son's birthday. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful view along with delicious food! Our servers Noah and Manjolla were very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

The most delicious and filling plates, my favorites being the lobster bucatini and the swordfish. Exceptional service from everyone who helped us, our server Jenna was very personable and helped guide us in making the best choices for us throughout the whole experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ember & Rye is the best modern Steakhouse in San Diego my wife and I have been to. Beautiful scenery and ambiance as the restaurant sits on the 18th hole of the Aviara golf course. We had impeccable service from Erica and the assistants from beginning to end. We were quit hungry so she recommended the squash blossom lettuce wraps, the shrimp cocktail and the ahi tuna tostada. Absolutely phenomenal. Very well prepared and portioned. For entrees my wife ordered the Filet mignon. It came out at the perfect temperature and was very tender with a nice flavorful crust. I ordered the Japanese A5 Wagyu New York Steak and boy what a treat. Definitely A5 quality. The well marbled cut was trimmed and cooked to perfection. Its been 2 days and all I've talked about hence why im now writing this review. The side dishes were excellent as well and very well portioned. Maybe my 4th post ever lol go give it a try you will not be disappointed. read more

I've wanted to dine here since it opened, and something always came up, and I had to cancel. Well, I finally made it over for lunch today, and the service, food, and ambiance were outstanding! I had the beet salad, which, by the way, I loved, and the side of sherry glazed mushrooms were some of the best I've ever had. It's in a gorgeous location and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I have a few special occasions coming up and definitely recommend it, and I can't wait to come back and enjoy dinner here. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday in January. I chose this restaurant because Richard Blais is now the chef, and we're fans of his. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! read more

Love Ember & Rye!! Food is always amazing and their whiskey cocktails (*Kings Cup) are my top favorite. Been in a few times but I must say the last was a real delight. There for a birthday dinner and my bestie truly felt special **Shoutout to Jenna L. and her service. Girl you killed it!! read more

We really expected a lot. Our table was great outside overlooking the lagoon and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. The apps we got, the Beef Tartar hand rolls was so unique and GREAT! The Banh Mi Balls are a have to try! Wow. But the Neptune cut Swordfish was huge but... was swimming in oil. Literally floating in oil. They said it was butter but it was so oily it had to be oil. There was no swordfish flavor and for $74 was a disappointment. Could not eat it. The 16 oz boneless Ribeye was cooked perfectly and the butter garlic was not floating but got absorbed by the steak. There are lots of high end restaurant choices, might return for lunch but not sure for dinner read more

Wife and I dined here for lunch a few weeks ago. We both chose the Prix Fixe option. The service was absolutely NOT up to the standards one would expect. - We were half way through our appetizer before our drinks came out. - We rarely saw/could find our server. The food was decent but again, NOT up to the standards one would expect. - We received 6 tortilla chips with the ceviche appetizer and were then charged $3 for an additional 6 chips. - The sauce on our steak was great but both were over cooked (Med instead of med-rare) - My wife received an off-cut piece of steak that was mostly inedible because even the steak knife wouldn't cut it. When the server eventually returned (long after we had finished, we mentioned the issues with the steak. Not only did the server barely acknowledge the issue, he then asked if she wanted it to-go. Overall, the experience was disappointing. read more

Delicious food. Great service in a lovely setting. The shrimp cocktail was delicious; fries and chicken dish cooked to perfection. Lemon dessert was perfect. read more

Nice twist on the classic steakhouse which doesn't feel gimmicky. Storm breaker cut was delicious and was enough for 4 people though it did come out closer to medium than medium rare on a lot of the cut pieces. Presentation was amazing The starter tower was great. The beef tartare with ships leaf stood out to me and also the shrimp cocktail with unique but classic style sauces Crab and lobster Bucatini was interesting but a tad too spicy. May have worked with de shelled peas better cause the snap peas seemed soggy Service was great and the wine was reasonably priced/marked up. Good selection of cabs. Outdoor dining patio was nice overlooking the golf course. You can also see the meat being cooked! read more

Everything was perfect! Noah is amazing and so attentive! Food was amazing. Stunning setting for dinner with the family.

What a great experience! Five stars all the way around. It's a standalone restaurant on the golf course and parking was easy. The best part about the entire night was the staff. Erica (our waitress) was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly, attentive, and had fantastic recommendations on food. I couldn't have been more impressed with her and the rest of the staff. It truly was worth every penny and I would certainly go back. We got the Denver Steak which was great, the Swordfish, and Salmon. All were top notch. For sides we got the carrots, fingerling potatoes. Definitely check this place out and if you get the chance and ask for Erica to be your waitress! read more

Overall wonderful experience after a round of golfAviara. Our server Jeremiah was absolutely on point with all his recommendations. We had a very nice table by the window over a little the 18th green, seem like the restaurant was updated since the last time I was there. You recommended the swordfish, which was absolutely amazing. Very tender and juicy, which is unlike that particular fish. We also ordered the rack of lamb and a fillet with several sides. Overall great experience and definitely recommend checking out this restaurant. read more

Had an awesome dinner and Matt absolutely made the night. He took great care of me and my girlfriend. He was super friendly, attentive, and just overall great energy. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, the salmon was unreal, and Matt's recommendations were spot on. Couldn't have asked for a better server. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm a senior citizen and made a 5:30 PM reservation for two at Ember and Rye, for Valentine's Day dinner, ten days beforehand. On February 13th, I received a text stating their exorbitant Valentine's Day cost and asking if I still wanted the 5:30 PM reservation. Since it was too late to make a reservation elsewhere, I responded "yes", that I still wanted the reservation, and they confirmed. When we arrived, the hostess had no record of our reservation and would have turned us away, but I showed them the confirmation text. They seated us in the bar instead of the main dining room. Since they seem to treat seniors like second class citizens, and since they don't seem to have their act together, we won't be going back to Ember and Rye. read more

We love sitting on the deck overlooking the golf course at golden hour and enjoying the "Between Clubs" menu -- it's such a relaxing setting. Also one of our favorite spots for a nice dinner out. Johnny, our favorite server and the restaurant sommelier, elevates the entire experience with thoughtful menu and wine pairing suggestions that are always spot-on. Impeccable service and consistently great food. read more

We just moved to this area and checked out ember & rye for the first time last night. We just did drinks and a snack at the bar but we had the best time! The drinks were amazing and the wings were too! Ryan (the bartender) made our night.. he knows how to make a bomb marg and martini.. he also just gave off really good vibes and was super sweet with our son. We can't wait to become regulars here! read more

We went for Valentines dinner. It had a set menu so limited choices. We were sat right away and the initial offerings and service were great. After our appetizer came we sat and waited and waited for our entree. When they came my wife's crab and lobster bucatini was luke warm and the lobster was chewy and over cooked. My entree of a tiger shrimp and filet were delivered completely cold. After a while we flagged down a server and sent back my plate. They exchanged the food and my steak was very good but the shrimp was over cooked. Dessert was a big disappointment. Not much taste and very bland. I've been waiting to try this restaurant but it was expensive for a lackluster meal. We never the mgr but they comped two drinks. Other reviews mentioned good service but the food quality wasn't great. There seems to be a back of the house problem was delivering cold food to a diner read more

Honestly, the steak is fantastic here, but the service is particular attentive and friendly. Josh, Ryan and Noah will take care of you at the bar and make excellent drinks. Especially if you enjoy the Oaxacan Old Fashioned read more

Stopped by here for a date night dinner with wifey and it was a exquisite experience! This spot is located at the Park Hyatt Aviara and there are free parking spots right outside the restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended! Once you walk in, you'll be greeted by the hostess. You can choose dine inside or outside depending on which tables are still available. They have a great menu with a wide selection of drinks, appetizers, and entrees. We got the avocado tartare, hassleback sweet potato, snow crab fettuccine alfredo, and the ribeye. Overall, everything we had was delicious and it the atmosphere was intimate and romantic. All the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another date night dinner next time we're in the area. read more

I wanted to love it because I'm a big fan of Richard Blais. But if I'm being truthful the meal was just ok. Let's break it down: -Garlic croissant (free) - was delicious. It was very garlicky but I know that's not for everyone. -Strip steak only came with steak and a lot of oil on the plate. Overly salty but cooked ok. This cut wasn't as tender. Chimchurri was decent as a topping but it was an additional fee. So was the horseradish. -Crab cakes had bits of corn, were ok, slightly fishy. -Caesar salad of sorts - name made it intriguing to figure out what was so special. Made with nuoc mam instead of anchovies. But let me tell you nuoc mam is made of anchovies so not really special or different. And it oddly had artichoke bits in there. It was lacking the real punch or depth of real anchovies. Pass on this. -Cedar plank salmon- others enjoyed their salmon but when I had a portion it tasted pretty bland to me. -crispy potatoes was the best side and was crispy as advertised. -tuna tartare nothing special but the turn off was the coconut bits on top made the whole thing taste weird. And the orange ball was mango juice. The chip at the bottom just crumbled so it wasn't really crispy to create a good contrast to the soft toppi read more

It's Saturday night.  Crowd trickles in and gets noisy at 6pm.    It appears the kind of brought back popovers.  They were one of my favorite bread choices ever.  The original popover was pure buttery goodness.  https://www.hungryones.com/2020/11/argyle-steakhouse-3/ The new version has herbs added to the batter.  It's a little distracting and there seems to be less buttery flavor now.  I do like the crunchy outside and there is a nice buttery flavor.  Sadly this night it was only available with the prime rib special which Maggie ordered so she could get popovers.  I sampled the prime rib and it was tender and had a delicious beefy flavor. This visit I ordered the swordfish prime rib "Neptune's Cut".  It was blackened with a crust of black lime and black pepper with garlic sprinkled on top.  Next time I'd get it without the garlic as it overpowered the other flavors.  I scraped it off and then I loved the tender and delicate swordfish.  Flavor was amazing with the swordfish enhanced by the lime and black pepper.  This is my favorite swordfish preparation. Before our meal began our favorite server(Jesse) came by and said hello.  We met him back when this place was Argyle Steakhouse.   I asked if Chef Richard Blais was in and was told he was in yesterday.  We never visit when he is in.  Maybe next time... read more

My wife and I just moved to the area and love trying new local spots. When a place becomes your default for a drink or snack, you know it's doing something right. We love coming here, and are especially happy when Ryan is working! He consistently makes great drinks, has good recommendations, and goes out of his way to engage with our family. We've visited 3 times so far and have had a great experience every time.  We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Was in the area and wanted to have a nice celebration dinner! The restaurant is beautiful and wasn't too crowded. Opted for an assortment of appetizers, drinks and food. Everything was good, nothing was really amazing for the price. Portions were bigger than I expected so we had a lot of leftovers. The pearl oysters were good, the truffle crab sushi was good, the strip steak was good, the Cesar salad was good, the best thing we had was the eggplant Parmesan with burrata. The roasted cauliflower could have used a bit more sauce and seasonings. The garlic croissants are amazing and a nice way to start the meal. The not so old fashion drink had a nice presentation. Service was impeccable and the food is good. read more

Was a five star before the fire but now it reopened and it's definitely lost alot of luster from its past. It's still beautiful but the food foremost has gone downhill. From undercooked bone marrow to overcooked steaks. Even the croissants were served cold and hard. Really sad because we used to frequent it but not any longer. read more
