Ember

We visited Ember for the first time recently, and everything exceeded our expectations — the food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding. As a travel advisor, I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively and enjoy exceptional cuisine in many wonderful restaurants around the world, both on land and at sea (including cruises). This place genuinely impressed me with its presentation, ambiance, and level of service. We didn’t realize reservations were recommended and came in as walk-ins on a Wednesday evening, even though the restaurant was fully booked. Despite that, the team went out of their way to accommodate us and managed to find us a table. A truly memorable experience and a restaurant I would absolutely recommend. We’ll definitely be back.

New go-to spot in Williamsburg. We were looking for a place to have dinner and came across this newer restaurant on Google—only about six weeks old, but the reviews were glowing. Reservations were fully booked, so we showed up right when they opened hoping to grab bar seating. Instead, they kindly found us a table. From start to finish, the service and food were impeccable. We tried several dishes—everything was fresh, high quality, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully paired. Every flavor worked exactly as it should. The wagyu tartare was hands-down our favorite, and the sushi was outstanding. We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in Williamsburg.

Ember will be an absolutely unforgettable experience for us! The service, the food ,the atmosphere it was all amazing. Our server Gina did an amazing job making recommendations as well as caring for us. We didnt need for anything. Lamb chops ,scallops ,and Surf & Turf were ordered as mains for our table.while everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals we all agreed the filet mignon was the star of the show. It was so incredibly tender that I could've used a plastic knife & fork to eat it. Everything was also well seasoned. While we really enjoyed our evening and most certainly will be coming back ,my suggestions to this restaurant as its their soft opening are: A more extensive dessert menu as there were only 3. Please eventually consider having espresso beverages as they're great to pair

Had a great experience and wonderful dinner. I have to give kudos to the staff first. Right out of the gate they all were super welcoming, warm, and professional! Especially our waitress Jenelle. The food: Surf & Turf Roll, Tuna Tataki, Crab Cakes, and Duck Chasseur were all fantastic! Theres not enough room here to describe how each gave such a wonderful food journey. The atmosphere was simple and modern but had that nice romantic vibe if you come for a date night. (Back dining area has a fireplace and the front has the nice views of D.O.G. St.) Definitely worth the trip. One warning though, since it’s the holidays, finding close parking was a nightmare and I highly recommend making a reservation.

Wow! This was a fabulous dinner! We tried multiple dishes and they were all fantastic! We had Calamari, the tuna crispy rice, dragon roll, lamb chops, scallops, and duck!! If you have not been yet make this a priority! Sid Hall is killing it!!! Chef’s kiss! 🤌
