Reviews
The only thing I did notice was feeling slightly uncomfortable due to some looks from another staff member in a nearby section. It may not have been intentional, but it made us feel a bit judged. I truly do believe no one should be judged based on appearance or age, especially in a fine dining setting.
Aside from that, we had a great anniversary dinner and would still recommend the food!
Minutes later, our food came and we did order two different pizzas and the waiter even heard and repeated what we ordered so I am unsure why we got two of the same pizzas. Oh well, mistakes happen! No biggie. When the owner came back shortly after, we told him very reluctantly about the mix up and he was so kind and told us to keep it for to snack on and wait for the other pizza order to come, as well as comped our drinks. Absolutely unnecessary but incredibly generous! Also, the pizzas were delicious. I would absolutely come back to the restaurant. It was a great place to go for a celebration where spending a little extra is worth it.
Service was excellent. Our only frustration was with a group two tables over that felt it necessary to speak loudly enough for other tables to hear clearly.
I’d go back.
My son brought me to Ember as part of my Christmas gift and I must say it is in the top running for best gift ever. We did have reservations and they are easy to make on their website. We arrived during one of their live music events so we got entertained while eating this amazing meal.
The set up is pretty unique, when you walk in you see their amazing wood oven and it definitely caught my eye. It’s beautiful and functional art that helps them create their pizzas. Behind that you get a great view of the kitchen and the rest is the main dining room. To the right is a separate room that is made up of a bar, a pool table, and some lounging couches. To the left of the dining room is the outdoor patio area. This is where we sat.
Appetizers was such a tough call. Every single item sounded so delicious. We decided on the meatballs and the bread with black garlic and EVOO. The meatballs were the best I have ever had. They were soft and full of flavor and covered in a homemade marinara. The balance of the sweetness in the sauce was perfect, which is hard to do in a restaurant setting. I find sauces from restaurants too sweet. If Hansel and Gretel were real they would prefer a house made of these meatballs every day! The bread was spectacular. I bake my own bread at home and I was so impressed with the bread. It had the texture and floof of a standard bread loaf but the flavor of a ciabatta. Glazed with butter and topped with flakey sea salt it was absolutely perfect, dipping it in their olive oil with black garlic was out of this world for my taste buds. They may never move on and accept my standard bread recipe now that they had that.
When our mains came out I was already feeling full. However, we each ordered the 14 oz steak and I’m not about to bring that home. I’m not sure the picture does it justice. The steak is paired with fingerling potatoes and sautéed mushrooms and all is covered with a sauce, I’m not sure what kind of glitter (metaphorical glitter…magic) they put in that sauce but it was this magical thing, as if a au jus and a Demi-Glacé had a baby. To make things even better I am still confused on the cut of beef it actually was. It had the beautiful flavor and tenderness of a ribeye but without the fat and the muscle texture was even. On the drive home me and my son determined that whatever cow was used it led a happy existence and had to have been extremely relaxed when processed. Somehow I don’t think the farm will change their slogan to reflect that but it was in fact, the best steak I’ve ever had and I can cook a perfect steak.
Now the hard part of the meal came, dessert. Every single one sounded amazing but I had already eaten a weeks worth of meat and carbs and my diabetes and fullness did not allow me to even consider another bite. So of course I ordered dessert to go and this morning, when I woke up I had my insulin ready because there was no way I wasn’t going to not eat the fried poundcake with berries and whipped cream to start my day the same way I ended yesterday, with fabulous food.
So all that to say, get out and try Ember Farm to Fire. You won’t be disappointed.
