    Vegan burger with sweet potato fries and my husband had a steak with green beans and mashed potatoes.
    Léa Z.

    We love this place for our date night! The chef and his team are very friendly, professional and the service is great. I usually get the salad with the black bean burger or the veggie burger. I am so glad they offer vegan options and are very accommodating.

    Dirty table that could have been wiped down when it was cleared.  It sat like this for more than 30 minutes after we took our table.

    We stopped in here for lunch today, which was our first visit to Wild Ember Kitchen. The owner did an exellent job of renovating the building, which used to be a bank (I think). Everything looks new. The service was okay, but bordered on the slow side. The restaurant was not busy, so I can find no reason to give 5 stars for having to wait 10 minutes for a server to bring us menus and take our order. It took another 20 minutes for our food to come out of the kitchen when there was only ONE other table seated and already eating their food. I ordered the Caesar Salad with the addition of Salmon. The salad had the right about of dressing, and they were generous with the croutons and parmesan cheese. The problem was that the salmon was burnt to a crisp on the thin end, and the cook didn't bother with the 5 seconds it would have taken to remove the skin from the fillet. My husband ordered the Steak & Blue Cheese Salad and had the foresight to ask for some salad dressing on the side - had he not asked, it would have only had a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the steak and the salad would have been dry (not making this up, this is according to our server). The other issue has to do with the cleanliness of the tables. We were seated next to a table that had been cleared, but had remnants of food on the table. It was like that when we sat down and wasn't addressed until someone who worked there noticed me taking a picture of it. It would have taken less than a minute for someone to wipe down the table instead of forgetting about it for over a half hour. Bottom line, the food makes it worth trying Wild Ember again. I just hope that they pay attention to cleaning as time marches on.

    Pulled pork street tacos

    Sat in the bar and our waitress was great. Super friendly and made an awesome recommendation on the pulled pork tacos. Right amount for heat to flavor ratio. My wife had the cheeseburger and gave me a taste. Was delish for sure! Neat ambiance and a great addition to downtown colfax.

    Great regional beer.

    Brand new place with great service, amazing cheeseburgers, and an upscale and classy ambiance. The cheeseburger is the best I've had around here, and their zesty fry sauce is great! The manager, Shelby, is the sweetest person you'll meet and is always smiling.

    Wow. I stopped in for lunch on my way south from Spokane. I haven't had Chinese food that good…read moresince I moved here 4 years ago. PERFECT sweet and sour chicken (I haven't been able to find any that isn't overcooked and chewy till now). The owner "Eddy" was super nice and watching him greet all the locals by name was a sight for sore eyes. I will be driving an hour out of town for Chinese food until I find somewhere in spokane this good (if I ever do...). I can't wait to try all the rest of their homemade food!

    First, the owner is so kind and friendly. You can tell he knows most of the people coming thru the…read moredoor. It's very much American Chinese food. Our table had broccoli beef, Kung pao, sweet and sour & General Tso. Everything was fine. I'd say the Kung pao had the best flavor. There was something very off with the texture of the chicken. It was almost impossible to cut. It was very stringy and tough. My reason for low stars- this place could use a serious cleaning. From the bathrooms to the chandeliers above the tables (it's all covered in thick dust and webs). Same goes w the art on the walls. If we're being honest the back area also looks bad- random cleaning bottles right next to where they get drinking water out of the kitchen sink. After we ate here a few of us didn't feel well so I looked at the last couple visits from Whitman Co public health. You can go look for yourself.
