Fantastic experience with both service and food. Nick, our server knew the best items and had great recommendations along with all food and drinks coming out in a very timely manner. 10/10 would recommend Embers for any occasion and if you have room, absolutely try the butter butterscotch pudding!

I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
