We were a party of 7, and all of us thought our appetizers and entrees were excellent. Our waiter was easy to summon, and fast to respond. It was a little noisy, but it was a Saturday night. Our table was not far from the bar, and there was a Bengals game on, so that both distracted us and accounted for much of the noise.

Excellent service and ambiance- a tad pricey for the cocktails. Food, especially the appetizers and salads are outstanding. Pasta should be better for an Italian restaurant lol- a bit overcooked for my liking. Overall an excellent experience for our group of 8 family on a busy night!

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!

We dined to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Megan was our server and she was outstanding! She is so friendly and knowledgeable of all the menu items. She isvery relaxed and didn’t push us through our meal, so we had plenty of time to enjoy our dinner. As an appetizer, she recommended the Herbstreit sushi roll, which was delicious!! As always, every course is a large size, so things are quite shareable for two people. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Megan and hope to request her as our server in the future.
