First time I came, I intended to sit and eat inside the restaurant. However, when I walked in the…read morewaitress asked me "why are you here?" with a weird anger and confusion in such a way that made me feel like maybe I walked in while they were closed. I asked if I could order the burria tacos. She said "to go, to go?" And I said "sure", sat down to wait for my food at the bar. Once my food came, I promptly left. In my car, on the side of the highway, I ate my food. It's all pretty good, though I did find something inedible in the beef. Not the best burria tacos I've had, but still delicious and likely the best in the area. A few weeks later, I decide to give the restaurant another chance and arrived with a friend. The same waitress "greeted" us, and proceeded to deliver the same level of hospitality as before. She left after taking our drink orders and asking if we were ready for food, and a different waitress took over. Large chunks of stewed tomatoes were a clue that the salsa served with the house chips was not fresh. The chicken in the enchiladas verdes were seasoned well and tender. Accompanied by (actual) fresh salsa, avocado, and lettuce, it was tasty. However, the salsa verde tasted like it came out of a jar. For drinks, my companion ordered water while I indulged in a couple margaritas. I tried a regular one, followed by the special wildberry margarita. Both were strong and fresh. My friend received a plastic bottle instead of a glass of water. I'm probably not returning, because of the unwelcoming waitress. I gave them a second chance and received the same response. The food was tasty, but the salsas obviously weren't fresh, which reduces the authenticity.

When we got there late a Saturday night the band was packing up, so they have live music as well. Loved the food and service here!

Small building with dinning area and attached bar. Salad bar was small with a small variety of items. Food began and stayed steady and plentiful. Bacon wrapped filet, bacon wrapped chicken and the garlic steak were the three best. All meat could've used more seasoning. They had a 14 meat variety. I had ice water and an old fashion. Drink was good. Some of the guys had the key lime pie, cheesecake, and hot lava cake. All stated that it was good. All in all it was a good experience and I would eat here again because I like the meat variety. It was priced about $60 plus tax per person for the supper and a water. They do provide the cheese rolls like TDB along with fried plantains, a fried cornbread and mashed potatoes with chives.

Everything our group tried was delicious, my party absolutely loved it. If red meat isn't your thing, they do have a salad bar option available. It's on the pricier side, but for the amount and quality of food you get, I think it's totally fair. Great experience overall and worth it for a special night out.

I feel like this place has rested on its laurels - for the worse. We've been coming since 2020 or…read more2021. Coming from Dallas, a city with a steakhouse on practically every corner, I can say we definitely know our steaks and steak house experiences. We also travel all over the world looking for the best steak experiences locally. When we first came here, we thought we'd found Melbourne's best. The closest to fine dining steak back home. But over the years, things have just slidden down hill. The once impressive share board has A) not changed in its inclusions during this 5+ year span; and B) gone down in quality considerably. If you look at the pictures of our boards over the years you'll see the Caesar used to be long, elegant romaine leaves with the most delicious lemony-crunchy topping with superior house made dressing. Now it has boring store-looking croutons, no lemon-crunch topping, and the dressing tastes as boring as the salad looks. The potato used to be a large, hassleback prepared encased in a blanket of cheese with another delicious cheese dressing poured on top of that. Now, they just dump a bunch of wet something in the middle of an open lackluster potato. Not only are the items themselves getting more boring, but the board itself being the same for 6 years is boring. Why not change it up? If you can't make an actually good Caesar anymore, why not swap it for a wedge? If you can't be bothered to make a presentable potato - one of the cheapest things for a restaurant to do - why not do some au gratin? Or, why not have 2-3 different boards for people to choose from? Why did they just give up on this concept and themselves? Yes - you can order individual separate sides, but you can do that anywhere. What made this restaurant stand out, and shine like steakhouses in bigger cities, is now dragging them down. We've also really struggled with the hosts over the years. Rude. Inattentive. Not seating in a timely manner despite reservations and an empty restaurant. Being forced into uncomfortably tiny 2-seaters where you feel like you're on a date with the tables next to you. This is the most unromantic thing to do to diners. I would usually never complain about prices at a steakhouse. Again, steakhousing is a hobby of ours and we are fully invested. But... the prices USED to be completely justified given the quality food and experiences. Now... I'd say there are plenty of other restaurants in town with better quality, better service, better vibes - for a better price. I miss the patio vibes. I miss wine by the fire pits. I miss friendly servers and hosts and well-executed offerings. That's such a bummer. If their business couldn't sustain the patio area, maybe they should have thought about why people weren't coming back and made efforts to correct that. Instead of taking away the things they still had going for themselves and flopping on the things they continued offering. What used to be a beautiful location with great service and a thoughtful menu is now a played out shell of its former self. I've shared feedback with the restaurant multiple times over the years, and nothing changes. Like... literally nothing changes unless it's actually getting worse. It's gone downhill, guys. No matter how many videos you post on social of your chefs and how proud you are of your food... I will not be fooled, again.

Overall Rating: 3.9 Atmosphere: 4.5 | Service: 4.0 | Food:…read more4.2 | Cocktails: 4.2 | Price Per Bite: 3.2 ($460 group of 4) Ember & Oak Steakhouse has a lot going for it, but my experience with the Prime Rib didn't quite meet expectations--especially at the $80 price point. The fatty portion of my Prime Rib was excessive. I get that ribeye-style cuts derive flavor from fat, but this was to the point where it overwhelmed the dish and left me wishing I had ordered the lower-cost ribeye instead. On top of that, it came out medium instead of medium-rare, which didn't help. That said, others at the table ordered the NY Strip and Ribeye, and both looked excellent--cooked properly and more in line with what I'd expect from a steakhouse at this level. Highlights of the meal: Brazilian sliders were fantastic--definitely a must-order appetizer Oxtail stroganoff was rich and well executed Mac & cheese was a solid side Cocktails were creative and well made Overall, I've had better steaks at lower price points, but also worse ones at higher-end spots. Based on what I saw from other dishes, I'd absolutely give Ember & Oak another shot--just not with the Prime Rib next time.

However, this place is worth the drive. 2 minutes off of I-95 at exit 156. This is an old cow town and many farms still exist. It's 10 minutes from Lake Garcia which has awesome airboat rides. Airboat and Marsh breakfast is a great day. The place is an old bank I believe. Like from a zillion years ago. The interior is so cool. It is adorned with many taxidermy wildlife, historic pictures, and fun quotes. Fun. This is the place locals go to. Now let's talk food. We generally go For breakfast. Big portions, good prices, and ton of variety. So many southern specialties and freshly made. Their chicken fried steak is always a treat. Very down home country feel and menu. Today we went for lunch. My wife had shrimp and grits. YUMMERs! So good. The flavors coming out of this dish were as good, if not better than any we've had in the Carolinas. I had their chicken salad sandwich. They add bacon and love to this sandwich. I also think they use some dark meat which gives the whole thing a more chickeny taste. So good. And as if I was 5-years old, they serve it with ruffle potato chips and they were awesome. Especially when you dip them in the shrimp and grits sauce. The glazed carrots were as perfect as a glazed carrot can be. Slight hint of sweetness, so the carrot flavor was perfect. The only negative was the Mac N Cheese. That was a train wreck. The cheese had hardened throughout the dish making it not a smooth dish as one would expect. No issue. Oh, the applesauce was cinnimony awesomeness. Love this place and you will too. The service is not fast, so be patient. Great people, just a bit slow. M

It's not a bad place, and I can see why it's popular with locals, but based on this visit the food didn't quite match the atmosphere.
