    Honey I'm Home
    Sarah H.

    We walked from our Airbnb to Embers and we really enjoyed it. The vibe was unbeatable - outside seating with a big grass are where kids were running around. They had a great selection of wine/beer/drinks as well. The summer salad needed more dressing and then large was way too big for 2 people. I'd say for maybe 3-4 it's better. The pizzas were both cooked perfect and had great flavor. We got a gluten free crust for the truffle pizza and it was great for my gluten free friend - good flavor not just like cardboard.

    As always phenomenal pizza, fabulous service and a great setting. Even when it's super busy the staff is friendly and constantly checking to make sure everything is good. Our daughter loves playing with pizza dough while we wait for our meal, it's a great way to entertain the little ones. This will always be a favorite, can't get tired of this place!

    Back after 2 years...while the first visit was phenomenal this time even better. Got there at opening 4pm to beat the crowd. The setting is a quaint old house converted into a great venue complete with outside seating across from a serene lake. Inside are two wood fired pizza ovens, one for regular pizzas and another for gluten free. A nice bar surrounds the ovens with an assortment of beers on tap or opt for wine or some mixed drinks. We opted to sit inside and our server greeted us with a smile and great attitude. We ordered a blood orange Hefeweizen and examined the menu. My last visit I had the Pend Oreille Pie, a thick crust pie extraordinaire. (I ordered one to go) This time we split the Papa's Special- marinara-sausage-pepperoni-salami & smoked bacon on a thin wood fired crust that had great char, crisp & chew. There were plenty of toppings! After eating great pizza in many parts of the country I have to rate this one as the best!!! Atmosphere Pizza Friendliness overall

    Excellent pizza by the lake! Called in the order, drove out, it was ready to go! They made the wrong pizza - and the made the right pizza and gave me both with hardly any wait! It was a total bonus. The sweet and smoky bbq chicken pizza was our bonus pizza and it was delicious!

    This place is an experience for the whole family!! The drive in to the location is beautiful and you feel like you are at a members only, hidden gem type soot. The whole place is like a parents playground. The kids can play, while you warm up next to the gas fires with an IPA or whatever. Pizza is delicious, lots of special options and the kids can make their own breadsticks for free. Great service, very attentive and helpful. A bit of a wait but that is expected with a spot like this!! Come ready to eat and have a blast!!! Nice art on the walls too!

    Half of two amazing different pizzas I don't remember, but darn they were yummy!

    This place is a must visit! The pizza is absolutely amazing and the salads are to die for! I bring everyone I know here and will continue to.

    Beautiful view.

    We had the pleasure of meeting friends here for a wonderful dinner. We were visiting and was so impressed with the vibe and view! Super nice employees who are friendly and welcoming. We had both the ceaser and summer salads. Very good. Then we split four pizzas. I can't recall the names, but it didn't matter. They were all very good. Highly recommend.

    I ordered a burger and somehow left with trust issues…read more The food took so long that I had enough time to watch the sun set, rise, and apply for retirement. When my burger finally arrived, it looked like it had survived three natural disasters and a custody battle. The fries had the texture of roofing materials. The cheese appeared to be legally classified as a construction adhesive. A duck from the lake stared at my meal and walked away in disgust. The patio view was nice until a fly started charging me rent for my table. I think it had seniority over the staff. I asked for a refill and aged visibly waiting for it. By the time I left, my phone battery had gone from 100% to 2%, my ancestors were contacting me through dreams, and I was pretty sure the burger was still fighting back. Would not recommend unless you're studying patience, survival, or advanced disappointment.

    This is for Finklebinder's which is connected to D-Mac's. I honestly don't know why this place…read morewasn't packed on Saturday morn. They have a good breakfast and a cozy atmosphere. Our server was very nice and helpful. It was close enough to lunch, my son ordered the jalapeño burger and loved it. Had fries too that were very good. My breakfast was HUGE. I had The Wagner Plate with pancakes, French toast and three kinds of meet and two eggs. It was quite yummy. Could it have been tastier? Yes, but it's an amazing price and is yummy enough that I'm not complaining. And what a view when you step outside. When it's warmer weather, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the view the whole time. Or you could eat at D-Mac's, which is connected, and also see the view through the large windows. I really like this place and will be back for sure.
