    At first glance the way the tables are placed, you feel you are in the lobby restaurant of a 3 star hotel but don't let the look deceive you. Although the bar is small it is pretty and serves great high end liquor drinks. The food is simple like charcuterie, burgers and breakfast food but delicious. The staff is friendly. I would go again.

    Though I was hoping for something a little different the brunch was lovely and tasty. Epiphany was an outstanding waiter and bartender.

    Great pre-Christmas dinner with family! Great service (thank you Grayson!). Food was wonderful but portions were all over the place. Some dishes were huge others more modest but all delicious! Beautiful bar as well.

    Very nice restaurant in a hotel setting. Food was above average and maybe slightly pricy for what we received. Very clean and nice ambience.

    Excellent meal from start to finish. The filet was cooked perfectly and the braised pork shank was truly fall off the bone tender.

    We had a very pleasant evening at the Embers restaurant. Really enjoyed the food and it wasn't too busy. Service was good and it was generally not noisy. The restaurant had a very impressive Christmas tree in the corner and a real log fire! Breakfast was good also.
