Opened in the spring of 2004, Embers is a contemporary American Steakhouse with a twist. Classic Steakhouse offerings along with complete selections of seafood & sushi are available in a warm inviting atmosphere.

Embers, as the name implies, evokes the warmth and comfort of a glowing fire; from the stacked-stone torch and gas lanterns outside to the glowing candles within. Black & White photographs of Cincinnati landmarks and celebrities create a sense of history and place, while large oil canvasses and vibrant floral arrangements punctuate the rooms with color.

                                My husband and I went to embers for our 6th anniversary. This is our third time returning to Embers. If you want to know what keeps us coming back? The sushi! Well price and generous portions. The wait staff is always extremely friendly and professional. I've never had a bad experience at this restaurant, highly recommend for a date night!

                                Food was phenomenal as usual. Halibut special was delicious. My husband had the Saturday sushi special made with lobster, and he said it was so good. We prefer to eat in the bar area. Wonderful dinner!
