We really enjoyed our evening at Ember & Vine. We liked all the food and found the prices to be fair. The cigar lounge and live music was VERY nice. I loved the wine cellar ambience of the restaurant. The only thing lacking was the wine experience, though. They didn't have several of the bottles of wines we tried to order off the menu, there is a very small selection by the glass, and the cab was served too warm. We loved the Butler House and hopefully the wine selection at the new place will improve. We will be back! read more

We were in Tres Palmas for our anniversary and Ember and Vine was recommended for our anniversary dinner. Its in a nice location facing the ocean. And I want to say the server was amazing. But the food did disappoint. I ordered the rib eye medium and it was over cooked and already sliced. My wifes meal came a little burnt she had the eggplant. The dessert was good. Overall probably would not go back after that experience. read more

Visited this place for our anniversary celebration dinner. Nice vibe and our server was very friendly and attentive. The grilled romaine Cesar salad was delicious. The eggplant was a disappointment for cheese was burnt and it was a very Small portion for the price. My husband's rib eye entree was also a big disappointment given the hefty price. Never seen a ribeye served sliced. It was also overcooked. This is a great place but they need to get a handle on food preparation. It was disappointing, especially since the place was not busy at all! We were also taken aback by their overcharging us on the corkage fee for our champagne. We were first told one price then they overcharged almost double, only because it was a Don Perignon bottle. read more

Ember & Vine - Steakhouses Near Me - Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico

The food was delicious. We just happened upon this place and noticed that it was open and seemed to be serving breakfast. I ordered a cappuccino and a truffle croissant and it was delightful. They had alternative milk options for the cofre which was super great for me. The croissant was huge and the flavor of the truffle, honey, prosciutto, and cheese mixed together was so balanced and yummy. The price of the food was also very fair for the size of the plate and the environment. The employees are all super friendly and sweet. They definitely contributed to this breakfast being a hit with their recommendations and kindness. read more

We had an amazing breakfast at Ember & Vine. The prices were fair, especially considering the quality of the food! Both the truffle croissant and the quiche of the day were AMAZING. The coffees were also really delicious. The restaurant itself is small but very cute. There is also lots of outdoor seating with nice views in the distance. The service was also great and the employees were really kind! read more

There is much about this restaurant that should be wonderful. The ambiance inside is very nice, but the outside is surrounded by dying plants, bare lightbulbs, dirty balcony. (However this is true of Palmanova Plaza in general - what a dump). Our waiter came to us about 10 minutes later to take our drinks order, which were delivered 25 minutes later. The drinks were very good and served with a little sampler crostini. Twenty minutes later he came back so we ordered our apps and dinner at the same time- not wanting to wait again. Twenty minutes later we got our appetizers - pear salad and a shrimp appetizer containing one large shrimp. The salad was good, the shrimp appetizer taste was good but for $18 there should have been at least two. We were two couples, and had ordered a boar pasta, and two filet mignons - one very well done and the other medium rare. We got two pastas (one was gratis as we didn't order it). They were tasty but mushy and we gave them a 5 out of 10. My medium rare steak was dry, cooked medium, cold and put on a large white plate with nothing else except a bowl of cold butter. I had expected melted truffle butter and garnish at the minimum. I had ordered brussels sprouts which were nice but a very small serving. All in all, an unappetizing presentation. I ate it, I was hungry, but I'd count it worse than a Ponderosa restaurant chain steak. All total for my meal $100. The other couple ordered their filet well done, with chimichurri sauce. Again a piece of steak on a big white plate all by itself. No check backs to see what we thought of the food, we had to flag service to get another drink, we had to flag the hostess to get our bill. All in all: Service - 1 Food - 2.5 Ambiance - 3.5 Value - 2 Worth going? - Nope. This was our third time. We give up. read more

Ember & Vine has great food but the service left more to be desired. I made a reservation for 7:30 and arrived at 7:15. When I arrived I noticed multiple open tables that seemed ready for seating. However, despite being on time, we weren't seated right away...meanwhile, a few parties who arrived after us were seated immediately, which felt a little off putting. Once we finally got to our table, the food was delicious and made it definitely worth the visit. I just wish the seating process had been smoother because it made for an awkward start to the meal. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant and the waitress were excellent. That's where the positive points end. We were a table of 5 and not one person enjoyed their meal. Out of the five meals 2 people had the eggplant that was called Parmesan but had no cheese. It was cold and served in the smallest skillet ever, the size of a chocolate chip cookie. Another person in our group had a Caesar salad that was basically the outside leaf of the lettuce with nothing else to it. The next dish was rigatoni carbonara that had approximately 10 pieces of pasta and tasted like raw egg with breadcrumbs tossed on top. The absolute worst meal was the pomodoro risotto special. The rice was hard and uncooked. The sauce was extremely salty. It was inedible and sent back. When our bill arrived that dish was still on it even though only a bite was taken from it and the waitress had been made aware that the dish was uncooked. My husband asked to speak to a manager and was told they do not have one. Eventually they reluctantly took the $34 risotto off the bill. This was by far the worst restaurant experience we have had in years. read more

Beautiful decoration and ambiance. Good food. Very nice service. Reasonable prices. Did not like being charged $8 for parmesan cheese on my pasta! Absurd! read more

It's a new place in Palmas were in the past was an excellent restaurant. This one, not that much. I passed by and saw this new place were in the past was one of my favorites. I entered the place and waited about 4 minutes until someone welcomed me and offered help. No host in place and people walking in and out of the kitchen and bar, talking among themselves, but no one to take care of customers. It feels like a college pub not like a formal restaurant. Went to Agustinas instead and got the excellent service Agustinas is used to give! read more

Was there tonight for a date night and got the filet medium and came out ice cold in the middle and asked for it to be cooked and again came out very rare. Finally the third time was eatable. $200 bill for just a view and terrible food. I would just walk the beach and go somewhere else. Terrible experience for the price. read more

Food was amazing! We started with the hummus and had the salmon with lemon garlic butter and the bolognese pasta. Was delicious!! 10/10 courses. Sangria and mules (drinks) were also very yummy. Thank you Sarah for the service and our host for giving us such amazing seats with oceanfront view. Music was relaxing and perfect as well. Loved our experience (: read more
