The best restaurant experience we had during our trip to Austin was at Ember! Our server Brian and Chef Kang were amazing. Both were so nice and personable. We got the pleasure of sitting at the chef’s counter which was such a fun experience. All the food was phenomenal, the salpicon de pulpo and filet skewer were my favorites! I would recommend this place to anyone – we can’t wait to come back again!

My hubby and I ate at Ember during our babymoon, and it was such a great experience! The restaurant has the coolest atmosphere—modern, upbeat, and inviting. Our waitress, Bernice, was absolutely amazing: warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to explain the menu and make thoughtful recommendations.
For small bites, she suggested the salmon crudo and the tuna tartare, and both were outstanding. For our mains, my hubby got the ribeye and I ordered the whole fish, which was red snapper. Everything was absolutely delicious—the snapper was hands down the best fish I’ve ever had!
Overall, we can’t say enough great things about Ember and its staff. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely love Ember! It is a pleasure to dine here! As soon as you walk in the door you can feel that the ambiance is set for the night and you’re greeted with a warm welcome. We were celebrating both my birthday and Valentine’s Day (one day early). Presley, the restaurant supervisor, greeted us with a warm welcome and made sure everything was perfect. Our server was very kind and made great suggestions. The food was delicious! Drinks were great! It is wonderful when you find a restaurant that serves food with flavor and soul…for us, it is Ember! P.S. We love the music they play! EMBER, you should have a night where you clear the tables and open it up for dancing!

We had an exceptional time at Ember Kitchen for a Valentine’s weekend date. It was so hard to pick from this menu because everything looked so good, but our extraordinary waitress Maddy helped us hone in on our choices. In addition to being knowledgeable of the menu’s offerings, she was knowledgable of how to help me navigate my food allergies and made sure I was kept safe.

We ended up with the market fish crudo (which was hamachi that day, and I can never pass up hamachi), the short rib special, and the market fish which was an amazing halibut. Each dish was divine and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Our favorite dish was the halibut, it was perfectly sauced and so good.

The atmosphere was cozy and special enough for a romantic date. My only small complaint would be that the seating in the lower section was a bit uncomfortable. We were sat in a corner booth and it was difficult to sit comfortably without being up in our neighboring table’s business.

Ember Kitchen was different. The experience came recommended from our server Amanda at the Guest House. She explained Ember was a sister restaurant and extremely delicious, it exceeded expectations. The flavors and spices were served, crafted into delicious plates, it was something special. You could instantly tell that it was something special and that they went next level. The mussels were incredible, spicy, but delicious. The halibut entree was so fresh, flavorful, and different from any previous fish entree I’ve ordered. The variety of “not your typical” apps or entrees was endless. I highly recommend this spot if you’re into mixology cocktails and a menu par from the usual. Good music, excellent service. Beautiful ambiance.

Ember absolutely blew me away. The short rib with polenta was hands-down the best meal I’ve ever had — melt-off-the-bone tender, rich, and perfectly balanced. Every bite was incredible.

The food is on the pricier side, but it is 100% worth it for the quality and experience. My friend ordered a fish dish that was equally delicious and beautifully prepared.

The staff was extremely attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere had such a great lounge vibe with music that made the whole evening feel special. The wine list is small but thoughtfully curated — we had the Malbec and it paired perfectly with dinner.

I also really appreciated how gluten-free friendly the menu is — so refreshing to have so many options without feeling limited.

We’ll absolutely be back. Ember is a gem.

This was our first time at Embers Kitchen but they didn’t disappoint. The food was phenomenal and our waitress was the best. Management checked on us a couple times. I was highly impressed with the flavor of all the food my wife and I had. They even offered us an exceptional dessert. You have to order the potatoes if you love potatoes . They were cooked to perfection.

From the service to the plate, Ember Kitchen is a must-visit. The crab cake appetizer was light yet flavorful, but the short ribs stole the show. They were savory, tender, and served over the dreamiest polenta. I loved the interactive element of choosing our own knives—it’s those little details that make the service here top-tier. Highly recommend!

We celebrated our 10-year anniversary together at Ember Kitchen, and it was truly one of the most unforgettable dining experiences we’ve ever had.
From the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel special. Our servers, Claire and Brian, were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout the night. The rest of the staff was just as wonderful, welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do.

The food was absolutely phenomenal! easily one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. It wasn’t just dinner; it was an experience.
What made the evening even more meaningful was the personal touch. The staff surprised us with a handwritten card filled with sweet notes from the team congratulating us on 10 years together. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us and made the night feel truly special.

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something important, or simply want an exceptional meal with exceptional service, Ember Kitchen delivers in every way. We’ll never forget our anniversary dinner there. ❤️

My wife surprised me with reservations here for my 40th birthday while we were in Austin for Valentine’s concerts. Our original reservation was for 7:30 on Monday, but since we wrapped up our day early, we called to see if we could come in sooner. They were incredibly accommodating and never once made us feel like an inconvenience — which honestly spoke volumes about who they are before we even walked through the door.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and excitement that we chose them for our celebration. Absolute class from start to finish.

Maddie, the hostess, was exceptional — engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. She graciously seated us outside, tucked away from the crowd under a clear night sky, which made the evening feel intimate and unforgettable. She made sure our drinks were started quickly, setting the tone for a perfect night.

The cocktails were outstanding, and every appetizer & entree we ordered was phenomenal. Megan, our server, was attentive without hovering — anticipating what we needed before we even asked.

Then the chef personally came out with a massive lobster tail and additional bites for us to try. That kind of touch doesn’t happen everywhere. It meant a lot. The churros was icing on the cake!

They even gave us great recommendations for where to continue celebrating afterward.

Ember Kitchen made my 40th birthday one I’ll never forget. If you’re in Austin and want an experience — not just a meal — this is the place
