Ember Lotus

Tonight we did my husband’s final birthday celebration. He had a lot of surprises this year and capping it off at Ember Lotus was a great way to close it out! The decor is beautiful! The food is fantastic and the sevice was lovely. I wish I had gotten more of the gauchos’ names as we had our favorite, but they were all wonderful. The cold bar (that pepper tuna) and the hot bar (that shrimp and crab toast) were devoured before the main event, the meats! I did not get any pictures of the meat as I was entranced by the variety of meats on swords. They are great about telling you the cut and the temperature so don’t be afraid to say actually I want this or that in a medium or a rare or whatever you like. The picanha was tender and flavorful (ask for the pieces with the char). The garli

When you first walk in the beauty of this businesses foundation & architecture is absolutely stunning and I had to stop and just take it all in upon entry 🤩✨ Our first encounter was with the young man who was hostessing, he was kind & friendly and got us seated within 5 minutes! Our table was near the window and had so much space with comfortable chairs! Our table was clean and neatly organized with cutlery, plates & cloth napkins ✅ This isn’t our first rodeo on experiencing a Brazilian steakhouse but definitely our first mixture of Brazilian & Asian fusion! Beings we are pescatarian we didn’t partake in the “full experience” including Churrascaria style arrays of meat, but we did have so much more to choose from on the hot & cold bar buffet! Everything was fresh, delicious & flavorful! Ve

I see many complaints about it not being a true Brazilian steakhouse. That's not what the owner was going for. Fusion means a mix. Don't expect a 100% Brazilian steakhouse. I lived in Brazil for seven years, and have been to numerous steakhouses down there. I knew what I was expecting, and was not disappointed. I like different things and trying new flavors. The food has been excellent both times that I've been There is a big variety of meat and you can request how you want it cooked. The hot food and salad bar are also amazing. Service, even better. The staff are all very friendly and do a wonderful job. The atmosphere is very nice as well. very clean,and organized. If you're lucky enough, you'll even get to meet and talk to Whitney, the owner, who is a delightful and amazing person.

Valentine’s week came early for us, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate than Ember Lotus, a Brazilian steakhouse right here in Pooler. Despite the long line when we arrived, our reserved table was ready on time, which was a great start to the evening. The steaks were absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked and served continuously, one after another, until you flip your table light from green to red. The timing was spot-on, and the variety kept the experience exciting from start to finish. The staff were incredible: attentive, friendly, and full of positive energy. We especially loved how they gathered to celebrate guests’ birthdays, making the atmosphere fun and welcoming for everyone. Pooler continues to grow as a destination for diverse cuisines, and Ember Lotus truly sta

Overall, I was excited to try this place Hot + Cold Bar - the staff seemed 100% focused on the bars. The bars “lack.” A good example is they have a Caesar Salad, but do not have Caesar dressing. They have a ranch and a pink dressing (assume Russian). There are 16 items in the cold bar (including crackers), and 13 items on the hot bar. I feel they could go back and redo the bars. It should be either Brazilian or Asian, or a fusion, vs what it is now, which is mid. The meat. I would say A+ for the Churrasco. The menu lists 16 meats, and they had 13 available. They didn’t come immediately, and then came about every 3-4 mins and just stopped. The flank, pineapple, and chicken sausage are A+. This place is a good idea, but it needs to be reconnected. I would suggest cutting it down to 1 b
