    Wood fired pizza
    Cindy K.

    I was supposed to come here with a friend but he's sick so it's a good thing I like dining solo just fine. I went right after they opened and there were several tables there already. Maybe Solar Eclipse traffic??? I was greeted right away-from across the room actually. I think it was the manager because he made the rounds to the tables asking how everything was later on. I started off with a lemon sour. Delicious. Never had one but if you're looking for a sweet drink this ain't it. It was on special. I was delivered bread with honey butter, pickles and hummus. I thought that was weird but it was actually so good on the bread. I had a piece of Italian bread, some onion bread and probably focaccia. The bread plate was insane-I could have just had bread there and been happy. I ordered a wood fired pizza. I mean that's in the name so that's what I got. It was pretty good. The sauce is on the spicy side. Just enough heat to wake up your tastebuds but not so uncomfortable that your mouth is on fire. I heard the table next to me also was talking about the spice of one of their dishes and talking about their nose running when things are spicy...same girl, same. And my nose was a little runny. I wish the pepperoni had been cup and char but that may have put that pizza over the top with having such a robust sauce. I did indulge in dessert. Against my better judgement because I full! But luckily my dessert stomach stepped her ass up to the plate and took one for the team. I do not think the dessert selection is that fantastic. I think every dessert has some chocolate in it except for the crème brûlée so if you're not a chocolate person, there's not a whole lot to choose from. I really wanted the coconut cake, but that had chocolate ganache on it, and the oatmeal cake just sounded unappealing so I passed on those. The crème brûlée was really good. My server was really good. I can't complain. It's a good place to eat-worth the drive and I liked the atmosphere. I found it to be a little drafty though and I noticed others keeping their coats on. I didn't have a coat so I was a bit chilly the whole meal. Good drink selection, not many appetizers though not that you'll need them. They encourage plate sharing. The pizzas are quite big especially for one!!

    Margherita pizza is awesome. Loved the tomatoes they use!

    Got an 8pm reservation on a Friday for dinner with my daughter. We were in town to check out the nearby college. We were seated right away. Ambiance is awesome! Lighting is just right, decor is modern, and the seating is situated nicely for conversation. Staff was excellent from the gentleman running the process to the absolute "foodie" of a waitress. She took the time to discuss the food options and also took time to talk to us about the area, so that my daughter could get a sense of what a student would experience. On to the food. Straight awesome! Definitely a foodie paradise. Sharing plate setup is a dream. We had a margherita pizza, premium tomato taste, fresh mozzarella, and a crunchy and chewy crust! Jerk chicken and rice and Mac and cheese were also hits. Raspberry chocolate truffle dessert engaged parts of my stomach that don't usually get engaged. Loved it! All around great experience!

    Limited menu, kinda pricey, really good food. Got seated right away, took a while to get service. Won't sub anything, didn't want the fries, but they included them anyway. Wedge was delicious, and the 18 day aged burger was super flavorful - grilled onions on top complemented the beef well.

    Ember is now one of my favorite restaurants! Love the family style shareable dishes, you can try a bunch of different things! And yes, the portions are actually suitable for this! We shared the steak burger, the macaroni and cheese, and the house salad. Best burger I've had in a long time, and best salad I have had in a long time! Mac and cheese was very good, just not my favorite. Service was excellent, they are so friendly and serve the food as soon as it's ready - which is fast. Super cute place, I just wish they had outdoor seating. Will definitely be coming back soon!

    Zucchini Inside Out Enchiladas

    Ember maintains an elevated ambiance indoors and a comfortable atmosphere on a spacious outdoor patio. The menu is focused with a carefully curated selection. A menu mix that goes well together. Perfect for sharing! Awesome!

    Amazing food, service, and ambiance. We go to this Resturant once a year when we are on vacation and it is the high light of our time.

    First time to eat at EMBER... well well, its really pretty place. Host is friendly. Waitress is friendly too and its awesome that she is willing to communicate w/ Deaf customers. Thats awesome. Food? Pizzas are really good!! Mac & Cheese is kinda not bad. Fries is pretty ok but we added salt to make it better. Breads is not bad but if you add sweet butter or sweet dill.. or other- that'd better taste. Thats why i give 4 stars. Also, theyre shareable and hugeeee!! Inside of the building is really nice!! It looks like 4-5 stars fancy. Rocketman hanging up on ceiling is cool. Cleanest!! Definitely will come back again for date night.

    Half of the steak salad

    This post is a little late but like they say better late than never! I went to Ember for the first time a couple weeks ago, and what an experience it was! To make a long story short, the food was AMAZING my friends and I did try several things because we could not choose from the list they had. Ultimately, we ordered the steak and fries salad, goat cheese and arugula pizza, hummus bruschetta, and hot wings. Everything we ordered was spectacular. We were a little skeptical about ordering the pizza since it wasn't like a traditional pizza (no sauce or mozzarella). Instead the pizza had an apricot jam which made the dish sweet and savory, so although it was different, it was delicious. For those of you that have never been to Ember, the dishes are meant to share and let me tell you... it's more than enough. I went with two other people and we may have over ordered as we were all stuffed leaving the restaurant. A little more about the restaurant, it's in an old train station and the inside is sooo nice and fancy. I felt a bit under dressed dining in when I came in my casual attire. The staff members were all so nice and the service was great. Overall, I had a great time and will definitely be back. 10/10 recommend

    Sweet potato egg rolls

    Very interesting concept of American style fresh tapas. Flavors were very good and unique. Menu had lots of interesting options. Sweet potato eggrolls had an unexpected kick to them. Burger was cooked with a great flavor and carmelized onions tasted so good on the burgers. Service was ok.

    Black Garlic Dill Pickle Pizza
    Cheyenne C.

    Really cute restaurant! The space is large inside and has a big patio area as well. We sat outside where the was live music and an outdoor bar. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Had a lemon drop martini which I really liked. Good selection of draught beer too. Menu had unique choices but decent selection. The burrata and pear went very well together, just wish it had more crostini to go with it. The dill pickle pizza had lots of flavors and was a fun combo. We also had some sweet and spicy wings, which were a good size and packed a little heat. Prices were very reasonable. Would love to come back if in the area again!

    Very good food and nice ambiance. I use to take my daughter there when she was little because she liked making her own pizza.

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful -- very thoughtfully decorated with such an inviting atmosphere. The view of the lake is stunning, and I loved that you can see the water (and sunset!) from pretty much every table. It really makes the whole dining experience feel special. Our server, Kyra V., was amazing! She was so friendly, personable, and honestly just adorable. She made us laugh and gave honest feedback when we asked about the menu, which we really appreciated. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and it made our night even better. The food was phenomenal. We started with the Caesar Tower, which easily fed four adults as an appetizer -- and it was honestly one of the best we've had. Highly recommend! Our entrees did not disappoint either... everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The specialty drinks were crafted perfectly and were just as impressive as the food. We will absolutely be returning and can't wait to dine outdoors when the weather is nice. Such a great experience all around

Lovely ambiance but a V&T was served in a small juice glass filled mostly with ice; we were a party of four and they brought us a bread plate with three slices of bread! What?? the Delmonico steak was the fattiest, most grizzled piece of meat I've had in a very long time. Beet salad was pickled beets, not fresh beets; disappointing. Our server Caroline was very efficient and lovely. Unless I hear differently in the future, I will not be back again.

Service was fast, drinks never got low and she did it all with a smile and kindness. Really really solid beer selection. They have about all the domestics you can think of plus they have a great selection of local breweries. The food was on point too. We started with artichoke spinach dip. It was a huge portion with big chucks of artichoke, very very good. Two of the guys with me were vegetarians. One guy got the black bean burger. It is a real in house made black bean burger. The other guy got the stuffed eggplant, it was a special, it was literally 1/2 an eggplant hollowed out with great ingredients. I got the cable car, it was a Italian sausage hoagie with peppers with fresh mozzarella. It was top notch good and great flavor. The only thing that was not killer good was the cowboy caviar. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The atmosphere is low-key most of the time but on some evenings there is live music which can be pretty loud.
