Had high expectations of Embers Woodfired Restaurant. I have not been disappointed with Woodfired pizza in the past and in Urunga, this seems to be the place to go for a meal if you don't want standard club food. Well, there's always a first... rang ahead to ask about gluten and soy free bases which they checked and confirmed was good to go. What a surprise, left the bases brought from Sydney (just in case) and walked down to the restaurant. When we ordered the pizzas, was told the GF bases all contain soy. Damn, just walked 15 minutes and did not have time to walk back to get the bases. Oh well.. just roast veg for dinner for my wife.
Three pizzas and some veg in hand, we walked up the boardwalk to eat on the beach and start a little camp fire.
The pizzas were bland. Not sure if it was the lack of spices or the tomato sauce which had no Flavours.
The others said they would have preferred dominos pizza.
The other dishes might be better and may be I was expecting too much from a small town but would not order pizza there again.
The pub does pizza and might try there next time. read more
