Ember Wood Fired Grill

Came here on a double date and we had the best time. Our waitress was truly one of the best that I have ever had. She really made the experience. We sat outside with our dog and it was the best of both worlds to be outside but still feel like you are in the vibe with the beautiful brick building. We really enjoyed the espresso martini and the bread with dipping oil. I got the gnocchi, which was amazing. My partner had the marinated tips with Brussels and mashed potatoes. Plenty of parking either across the way in a paid lot and next door parking garage. The inside was super cute and we look forward to sitting in there this weekend.

They were out of the most exciting things on the menu (to me), the Pork Belly and Wings but the staff was fantastic, attentive and friendly but not obtrusivley so. We sat downstairs, which had a lovely atmosphere. There are high ceilings, history on the walls and an open dining area. There was enough space between the tables for privacy and easy mobility throughout. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. All in all I would repeat the experience and would recommend it. The steak tips were succulent and delicious.

Menu had some awesome options and generally flavorful. Specials great. Might want to season a tad more but very good. However party of 8 was a challenge for kitchen. My filet while properly cooked and well seasoned was lukewarm and lobster/crab risotto outright cold. Others varried based on when they fired entrée. Didn't send back lest it be overcooked. But as a result it was less desired than I'd have liked. We all enjoyed food for the family post xmas dinner and they did have a good selection of gf and vegan which in our croud was needed. Given the name, I would suggest that you have smoked drinks :-> would be a step up on drinks without huge effort - Ember smoked old fashioned would be a hit.

Excellent service, probably the most attentive waitress without being intrusive. She definitely has a knack to "read the table" and adjust the level of interaction. The menu offers a wide range of choices. The desserts were amazing, our group had the chocolate cake as well as a lemon one. Only negative was the frites were dry, wish I had gotten the mashed potatoes. Parking garage directly next door was convenient. Make sure to download the Flowbird app so you can pay in the car on your phone and not stand at a meter.

Visited a few weeks back on a Wednesday night it was early around 4:40. 1 st time there. We did not have lunch so we were ready for a good meal. The restaurant is in a brick building. It kinda looked like a furniture store or a lighting store from the outside. Place was empty given the time. The good: The food was very good. Tasty and hot. We started with the Pork dumplings. Very good and very plump. As opposed to some places where the dumpling contains a small bit of filling and a lot of dough. I had the Chicken Vodka Parmesan. Again very tasty but not a lot of vodka sauce. The pasta had a nice spicy Fra Diavlo type sauce. The dish also came with a hunk of Burrata on the plate but looked kinda lost or an afterthought. Again it was good, but think a wedge of garlic bread or some type o
