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.

    Our server seemed annoyed that we were there for happy hour and it felt like she was rushing us out the whole time. She just didn’t seem to like us, even though we spent $75 as two people.

    We made reservations for a birthday celebration. The host confirmed the celebration upon our arrival but the staff completely forgot about it.
