    I visited Ember Yard shortly before Christmas so it was a little more crowded than perhaps is usual, and the other diners seemed largely to be having Christmas outings. This did not distract, however, from the excellent food and the wonderful service! The staff were courteous, very helpful in explaining the menu and the drinks options, and considerate when checking if we were enjoying the meal or needed more drinks. They were a perfect combination of solicitous and discreet. The food was awesome: the croquetas were stand-out for me: crisp on the outside with a delectable creamy interior at just the right temperature not to burn your mouth but still deliver a full-flavoured experience. The lasagna was silky smooth and mouth-watering, and the tomatoes and sourdough were a great combination and delicious. I really enjoyed dinner at Ember Yard and would happily recommend it to anyone.
