It just doesn’t get better than Carlo & Johnny. With hearty portions, a warm atmosphere, and impeccable service, Carlo & Johnny should be at the top of everyone’s “must-go” list. Phillip was an absolute pleasure and delight. He kept the drinks and laughs flowing, all the while staying one step ahead on the food service. Suffice it to say, we’ll certainly be back.

The food was great, and the atmosphere was very nice. The server took good care of us. We originally had bar seating and they were able to move us to the dining area where it’s not as loud. We had a great time.

Stopped in for dinner on Christmas Day. Was fantastic. Teriyaki Salmon was very flavorful along with edamame, ginger salad and miso soup. Hot sake was very nice on rainy evening. My husband always enjoys their sushi and combo rolls. We highly recommend.

It's always a treat to be able to enjoy a delicious meal at Embers. The steaks, the seafood, the sushi......oh my goodness! I almost always get the sushi feature but tonight I ordered the Snow Cod. I believe that's what it was called. Anyways, the cod was absolutely to die for! Our waitress was top tier, very professional and very personable. We will definitely request Tayloranne again and again!
