    Food preparation, quality, and presentation were superb. The service was outstanding and consistent with what I have learned to expect at Embers. Embers remains one of the hidden gems in the Valley and our personal favorite restaurant.

    Lobster tail was extremely small. The pork was dry and overdone. The waitress was the only positive I can give

    To have a truly amazing experience in a steakhouse, the food must be exceptional and the service needs to be impeccable. That was our experience on a Friday night at Ember. Living in The Valley for over 20 years, we have visited the majority of well-known restaurants of this caliber. The “PLUS” in our A-PLUS experience was our server, SheriAnne. Based on her recommendation, we got the filet mignon and the bison tenderloin. The bison was by far the best cut of meat that I ever had. From start to finish, it was an extremely enjoyable experience. Plus, you MUST get the Flambeau Tiramisu (it was incredible and a sight to see SheriAnne present it table-side). SheriAnne- we will see you again!

    We have eaten at Ember many times but our experience last night was by far our best. The food is always good and cooked to perfection. Both our filet and NY strip were amazing! I think what made our experience so special was the service we received. The hostess, Laurel, asked our seating preference (table or booth). We chose the booth. Our waiter, Frenchie, was incredibly friendly and informative. We never felt rushed. The sommelier, Dennis, helped us choose a spectacular bottle of cab. We are looking forward to another amazing evening at Ember!
