    The dining room is a magnificent hall. The surrounding view is breathtaking, especially in the daylight for breakfast. Our servers were great. The hotel is in the midst of some construction, so the main kitchen has not reopened yet. Therefore all meals are buffet. That is why I gave the food 4 stars. For buffet food was good and plentiful, but I will come back another time to order off the menu for the 5 star food experience. The experience over all was worth it.

    Steak was outstanding. Salmon was very good. Our waiter was fine but we felt very rushed. It also took a long time for our food to come out. However, when it did, it was very good. Rose, our waiter’s assistant, was very kind and friendly.

    My family and I loved everything about Embers. The food. The warm welcoming from our host/waitress. The coziness dinning area. My hubby and I did the wine paring and it was great. Everything was amazing and delicious. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

    Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you
