Embers Restaurant

This place is amazing! It's expensive, but so worth it for a special occasion. We came here for our 1 year anniversary and now we might have to make it a tradition! I'm not a sushi person, but I decided to try the sushi (it was a feature item so I'm not sure if it's always served). It. Was. Incredible. You absolutely must try it. I wish I could remember the name/description, but I've posted a photo, so maybe the owner will respond with the name? I also got the steak which was also delicious. So tender and savory. The service was also outstanding. Our server answered every one of our unending questions and was very kind and helpful. I can't think of a single thing I'd change at all. 10/10.

I called on a Saturday about 5:30pm.- the young woman who answered was kind and accommodating.She reserved a bar table for us, so when we arrived 10 minutes later, we were seated immediately. Without a doubt the Kobe roll it a must have every time we visit. It’s outta this world. Our Belvedere Vodka martinis with 3 blue cheese stuffed olives, extra dirty, were brought out quickly and simply perfect. Kristie was our server- she timed the experience perfectly, was knowledgeable of the specials and menu, and kept the table bussed so it wasn’t too crowded with plates. It was a phenomenal meal as usual.

Upscale restaurant. A little on the expensive side. The food, service and ambience was great. Pics may seem a little dark, lights are set low. Very filling and tasty. Fries fried in duck fat were good. Ribs with two different sauces was good. Meat falling off the bone. One of our dinner mates had the butterflied porkchop and sweet potatos. They looked good. Our server was great too.

My husband and I made reservations for a Thursday night at 7:30pm; for a random date night. We enjoyed the atmosphere as it wasn't loud and we could hear the conversation we were having. The service was okay (our waiter was nice) but his name wasnt given to us and it didnt seem as if he wanted to wait on us (could've just been an off type of night for him) 🤷🏽‍♀.

The food was amazing. My husband ordered the VIETNAMESE STYLE WITH LEMONGRASS GLAZE with EMBERS MACARONI & and CHEESE,
Which he LOVED! our waiter brought him out 2 hot towels and a lemon to clean his hands (which was a really nice touch)

We both had the BABY ICEBERG WEDGE
APPLEWOOD SMOKED BACON, HARD COOKED EGG, DICED TOMATOES, BLUE CHEESE CRUMBLES, CHIVES and
THOUSAND ISLAND dressing;

I had the ROTISSERIE CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS ASIAN SLAW AND DIPPING SAUCE and loaded mashed potatoes.

The waiter brought us bread and butter, which was amazing as well.

I had gastric bypass and not able to eat a lot, so I asked to have the rest of my food put in togo boxes, which I can't wait to eat the rest of it.

All in all, we will definitely be back here.

We can't speak on the extensive alcohol/wine menu as we are not drinkers. We had water with our meal.

Embers has been a date night staple since I met my wife 15 years ago. While, like my age, the prices have risen, the atmosphere, service, and amazing food have always been there. I highly recommend Embers if you are in the area. You won’t regret it. If Embers doesn’t have any reservations try Trio down the street. Same owners and just as good.

My wife and I dine at nice restaurants quite frequently. Ember’s should be top of your list. Service was flawless. Timing was perfect. Food was incredible. We have no complaints...

First time there and we would definitely go back. Everything from the drinks to dessert met if not exceeded expectations. Everything was seasoned well and the steak was done perfectly. Our waitress and all support staff were very attentive. Do yourself a favor and enjoy dinner at least once at Ember’s.

My wife and I dined at Embers on Christmas Eve. We didn't have a reservation, but there was room at the bar and we sat there. The service was friendly and overall was very good service. We opted for a number of small plates versus entrees. Everything we had was delicious. This is a nice restaurant with good service, food, and atmosphere.

Took a customer here for a working dinner. Service was fantastic and the meal was good. Steak cooked perfectly. Will come back.

Had a work dinner here. Food was great and service was impeccable!

The restroom was everything I could hope for and more. Spectacular lighting, pleasant aroma, and lovely artwork. My favorite part was the paper towels. You know it's fancy when there is a large stack of premium paper towels accessible without having to use an annoying dispenser. One small issue: the corners of the wine menu cover the text. Other than that, a fine evening.

Very comfortable atmosphere. We sat in the bar and selected food off bar menu. The goddess salad was awesome as was the sliders. The bar ribs were good but too much salty seasonings for me. The service was tops with Jackie being so very attentive and friendly.

I haven't come across too many places that I'd consider a great steakhouse and sushi spot. This place just might pull off that duo! I was torn on which route to go on my first visit, but ended up going the sushi route. For starters, I was pleasantly surprised by the 10-piece, very satisfying rolls. The Hawaiian roll special that night was pretty interesting and quite enjoyable -- it had earthiness from  asparagus and anexcellent sweet/heat combo, topped with mango. The Kobe roll was also quite unique (I guess that gave me a dose of their beef) and very enjoyable.. Innovative sushi menu and the seaweed salad is a perfect primer for it. My date seemed pleased with her filet, but I can't personally vouch for the steaks. Sides are family style, so you definitely get your money's worth. Embers is a solid date night spot with good ambiance and service. I'll be back!

Glad I made the drive to try this one. I tried the sushi special and it delivered on being special. At first, based on the description, I wasn't sure how all those ingredients could fit into a single roll... But they did and it was wonderful. The soup and the sorbet we're also great.

Great upscale dinner without breaking the bank. We got "Au Poivre newyork Strip, Ember Filet Oscar, mac&cheese, and vanilla bourbon mashed sweetpotatos, the steaks were prepared perfectly, and the sweet potatos were so smooth it could be served as a desert. For our actual desert, we got the Oreo stuffed donuts. We have been coming for our anniversary for the past few years and keep planning to.

This place is top tier 👌 service is outstanding i will definitely be back made food in a way that didn't upset my stomach. Thanks for making me some special mash potatoes. They don't fake the steak here see my pictures. The salad was amazing and don't forger the oreo stuffed donuts

Service was excellent. Staff was very attentive and accommodating. Cocktails were good and reasonably priced. Chicken spring rolls and steaks were good and the Oreo donuts dessert were amazing! The sides were excellent. Great date night spot.

This gets a 5 the service was outstanding, the food spectacular, and the drinks expertly crafted. Perfect for date nights or schmoozing new business. A fine example of Cincinnati's world class dining.

Excellent food and service is top notch. Would recommend anyone to dine here. Barrel aged Manhattan was excellent, sushi was excellent, and both of our stakes cooked to order perfectly.

Excellent food every time I've been. Very consistent. Knowledgeable staff. Good wine pairing. Parking is the worst park of the experience.
