I had the most perfect birthday dinner here a few months ago and my guests and I are STILL reminiscing about it so I had to come to write a review. There’s nothing negative to say about this place. The service was amazing, from the hosts to the servers. The ambience was dark and sexy. Their menu was perfect for sharing and everything we ordered blew the party away. We ordered several appetizers, with the Morita Shrimp and Crab Cake being standouts even months later, the Tomahawk, which I believe...

I had the most perfect birthday dinner here a few months ago and my guests and I are STILL reminiscing about it so I had to come to write a review. There’s nothing negative to say about this place. The service was amazing, from the hosts to the servers. The ambience was dark and sexy. Their menu was perfect for sharing and everything we ordered blew the party away. We ordered several appetizers, with the Morita Shrimp and Crab Cake being standouts even months later, the Tomahawk, which I believe was a special at the time, the whole fish, and a couple of veggie sides. We also ordered a couple rounds of drink. At the end they brought me a surprise dessert which were the churros and those were also amazing. All in all, we had a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back!

I can’t lie…. This was the best Latin restaurant I’ve been to. Their whole theme is “fire” - hence Ember: they tie fire into everything from cocktails to side dishes, main plates & desserts! We really enjoyed the cocktails: in lieu of sleep (espresso martini), paper wisdom & midnight of technicolor. The sides we chose were to die for- morita shrimp & the crispy beef fat potato’s and our main dishes were the filet mignon & the josper 1/2 chicken and we finished with the churros and the suspiro(the most fire inspired dessert!) I highly recommend sitting at the chefs counter - you can have the chance to meet chef Adam. Along with having our wonderful waiter- Collin! He was so thoughtful with his service and making sure we had the top Choices off the menu. We owe our amazing experience to Collin, he catered the best course to our tasting! Cheers! Come here

We went here for our first wedding anniversary dinner and had the most special time seated at the chefs counter! We saw all the action first hands and our server (and future teacher!!) Colin went above and beyond to take care of us, we got a complimentary tasting plate (which was AMAZING) and some champagne, and the staff gave us a very thoughtful card with notes inside!! Coming to the food, for side plates we got the crab cakes, the shrimp, and the potatoes. The crab cakes literally melted in our mouth and the shrimp was flawless. We couldn’t finish the potatoes because we were bursting at the seams! For entrees, we got the off the menu short rib and it was falling off the bone; and so tender and so flavourful. My husband got the josper fish, and it was halibut for that day, and that was also delicious. We skipped dessert because we were just too full! We would highly recommend this place for amazing food and wonderful service!

I could rave about this place over and over. I came here with a gf for my bday and I was so happy with everything! I love my steaks super rare and they did it perfect. Everything from the coyote squash and sauces with our dishes are to be bragged about. The Salad was quite large and shareable. The fried plantains became our dessert bc we over ordered. Lol I can't wait to go back ❤️

Every single dish here was unique in its own way and had very sophisticated flavor profiles that fancy food tends to bring. This was one of the priciest restaurants I’ve visited, and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered a Pisco Spritz as my drink to start, which wasn’t too sweet and had the right amount of citrus. For appetizers, the tartare was really good- the guac complemented the tuna very well. Also, the mussels were phenomenal. Standout main courses included the chicken- just wonderful. You gotta get the broccolini too. The fish was also very tasty. Service was great, and the dimmer lighting in the restaurant is nice and calming. My one disclaimer would be to not come here super hungry, because the food is quite light and the portions aren’t huge, but you probably already knew that coming into such a high end restaurant.
