★★★★☆ 4.0 Alexandro Muñoz · Dec 2025

This place was very tasty. The only problem we had, i would say it was parking. The parking lot is too small for the amout of people that eat at this place, or maybe it was just our luck 😅 We started our order with espresso martinis and a disaeonno drink. Then we ordered the pepperoni pizza 🍕 which was very tasty! We the proceeded to ordered the crispy duck plate and the ribeye and let me tell you that neither of those disappointed. They were very balanced in flavors and the presentation was also great. We finished the night with their famous toasted marshmallow ice cream cocoa cake, which it was delicious! Not too sweet and great portion size to share. I highly recommend you to try this place out, from the drinks to the main courses, the service and their desserts...we enjoyed it all a

Our weekend escape to Pismo Beach led us to Ember, a discovery that exceeded our already high expectations. As seasoned travelers who consistently hunt down exceptional dining and cocktail experiences, particularly around San Francisco, we approached this evening with discerning palates. Ember’s cocktail selection immediately captured our attention. Each drink demonstrated thoughtful craftsmanship, with complex flavor profiles that achieved that elusive perfect balance. The artistry was so compelling that we found ourselves indulging beyond our usual limits, and rightfully so. The culinary experience proved equally impressive. We savored our way through six carefully chosen appetizers before settling on the 50-layer lasagna. While the appetizer selection showcases remarkable creativity an

Ember is a must try restaurant in Pismo Beach California. The food is fantastic and the service was awesome. The roasted duck dish, prime rib steak, beef cheeks, the dessert. Absolutely Fantastic!

My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Ember in Arroyo Grande. From the moment we were seated, our server Megan made us feel completely at home. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely warm. It was never awkward when she checked in on us, even mid-bite—she had that perfect timing that made everything feel effortless. We started with the deep-fried quail and the wedge salad with bacon. Both were excellent—my quail was crispy and flavorful, and the wedge salad was fresh, generous, and perfectly balanced with the smoky bacon. For our mains, I had the 14 oz ribeye, cooked to perfection: tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. My wife chose the filet mignon, which was equally impressive. We also tried one of their specialty cocktails, the French 75, and it definitely packed a

We found Ember after asking for happy hour recs on the Grover Beach Facebook page, and it did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and had Karissa as our bartender. She was awesome and gave us great food and cocktail recommendations. We tried the happy hour meatballs (a little spicy but super flavorful) and couldn’t pass up the $10 half pizzas. Great little happy hour deal. Skipped dessert this time because we were stuffed, but we’ll definitely be back for a date night to try their dessert food and drink menu.
