We both had the fish and chips, and they were absolutely delicious. I was with my 6 year old grandson, and the waitress was so kind and attentive to him. The place was very busy, with a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it!

We had an absolutely fantastic evening at Ember in Hertford! From start to finish, everything was flawless. Ryan provided exceptional service, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was simply outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the mackerel was packed with flavor, and the steak—wow—easily the best we’ve had in Hertford! Every bite was perfection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. My partner and I were so impressed that we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Ember to anyone looking for top-quality food and excellent service.

Very impressed with both food and service levels. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Amazing service. We will definitely be returning

Elegant Restaurant with Impeccable Service I recently arranged a surprise event for a friend with a party of 14 on a weeknight. I called the restaurant a few times in the lead up to the meal to arrange pre-orders and venue setup to maximize the likelihood of surprise. It was very easy to reach the restaurant by phone and email, and the staff were very polite. On the night of the event, the restaurant managed to hide my party really well despite being directly in front of the entrance using an elegant wooden panel partition. The restaurant itself had a very stylish and elegant ambience but this was such a thoughtful touch. My friend was very pleasantly surprised. The food was nothing short of phenomenal — each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented and served in generous portions. There were a variety of orders including lamb chops, sea bass and the shish options, but they were all served simultaneously and in a timely fashion. I had the lamb chops which were perfectly cooked and accompanied by the tastiest salads. Looking around the table, everyone really enjoyed their meals and everyone's plates were emptied. The desserts equally impressed as they were as delicious as they were stunning. Our main server, Ilhan, added a special touch of sparklers to our friend's dessert that we sang happy birthday along to for fun, even though it wasn't his birthday! Having been to the restaurant before, I knew the service would be of high standard and they didn't fail to uphold this even for a much bigger group. All the staff were very friendly and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A huge thank you to Ilhan, our main server, who ensured everything went smoothly for a memorable and fun-filled evening. If you're looking for a place that combines exquisite dishes with exceptional service in Hertford, I 100% recommend Veysos. I will definitely be returning in the future.
