Nice Restaurant, Consistently Great Food

by ts123

I have eaten here quite a few times. I am not a steak eater but usually go here with steak fans and they always love the steaks and compare them to Peter Luger's. I usually order the fish or chicken special and am never disappointed. They will go out of the way to accomodate special requests whenever possible. One of my absolute favorite things is their potatoe pie. I could eat it every day!

• Pros: Potatoe Pie, service, valet parking

A Romantic Valentine

by tristanangie1025

My fiance & I went to Embers on Valentines day & even though we had to wait about an hour... it was well worth the wait but while your waiting you can sit at the bar and have a drink & socialize... Embers is a very friendly place, great waiters & hostess.. The prices are descent & the FOOD IS EXCELLENT... You don't have to travel far for a good steak or pay twice as much for a good steak when you can go to EMBERS....

• Pros: The food is Excellent
• Cons: Having to wait but it's worth the wait....

by 03182009

I took my other half to Embers for his birthday in 2/08 and he fell in love with Embers Steak. He has lived in the area for over 16 years & never set foot into Embers. We went to Embers for Valentines Day before he proposed to me & I'll recommend this restaurant to everyone... their food is delicious & the price is reasonable... So ladies if you want to get your man in a good mood.. take him to Embers!!!

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Waiting for a table... crowded..but I'm not complaining

GOOD Restaurant

by joanross

I work in the neighborhood so I go to this restaurant a lot because it is so damn good!

The service is always very professional and friendly.

They make the best steak dishes. And they consider the sustainability of the steak they use.

They always have great salads, don't care much for the soups because they're always creamed based, but that's just me, others really enjoy them. I would recomend with out hesitation.

Best deal in town !!!

by nylinda007

My friends and I have been eating at Embers for 20 years. I have had many parties, and occasions to celebrate at this great establishment. They have valet parking, and are very accommodating. The t-bone steak is wonderful, and so is the fried shrimp. Pasta, also. Try their cappucino; you have never had it like this anywhere else. They have a friendly atmosphere, and you may feel like you are in "Cheers" . The bartender makes a great drink. No skimping on the alcohol. Try his apple or chocolate martini...yum.

Terrible!

by john861522

I had occasion to dine at the Embers Steakhouse last night with my Mother, an elderly, highly moral church-going woman. While the high priced food was OK, there was a table of 3 men seated behind me. They were very loud and beyond crass, swearing curse-words and discussing for example the uncontrollable bowel habits of their family dogs and the messes said dogs made, as well as cursing up a storm, while the wait-staff fawned all over them. There were children and other elderly nearby, and instead of anyone stepping up to these obnoxious diners, to ask them to keep it down, reduce the cursing, or expressing a plea for some well expected civility, the louder they got, the more ingratiating the staff seemed to be.

If this is in fact, the order of that place, they will never see me in there again! My Mother was upset and embarrassed, and it was a disgraceful display, with a seemingly unviligent and uncaring staff there. AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU ARE FOUL MOUTHED AND ARE COMFORTABLE IN SUCH A PLACE!

• Pros: OK Food
• Cons: No sense of caring for diners and NOT INEXPENSIVE

The price is great for their great steak as the neighborhood place...parking is tough

by andytak

I've been in and out of this place for few years and I have never been disappointed with whatever I ordered.

Their porterhouse for 2....I can handle that on my own on a relaly hungry day. Always cooked to perfection and well seasoned.

The price is perfect for what you get. Taste like Peter Luger or other MORE expensive places.

But be really to wait in line for a table on the weekend and parking in that area is very tough. You will be very lucky if you can find something within 2 blocks

I brought a friend there once and then he became a regular. He's there like every other week,

Definitely recommend this place

• Pros: STEAK STEAK STEAK and more STEAK
• Cons: parking and long wait for table

Never Again!

by henrietta21

Embers used to be a favorite of ours until we recentely had a special occasion dinner there. They squeezed our large party next to the kitchen, screwed up our appetizer order, was slow with our drinks, gave us too many coffees and not enough esspressos. On top of all that they charged us for too many drinks, supposedly slipped us Grey Goose Vodka in mixed drinks such as screwdrivers, and rang up our bill on other items that we couldn't disprove. Plus, we only had one server who was miserable. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!

• Pros: Steak
• Cons: Service and price

Avoid Ember's Restaurant at all cost! Super expensive, below average food, and BU GS!

by slippybippy

"DON"T!"

Food is horribly average and super duper overpriced! Expect to spend triple what an average upscale restaurant charges.

There was a co ckroa ch in my daughter's pasta! She was sick and ran to the bathroom to th row up!

They took her meal off the bill and gave us all free dessert and beverages as a make up for the ro ach.

The caesar salad was $9.95 and had a few pieces of lettuce with croutons. They gave 7 string beans with your $30 steak. 12 french fries. Yippee!

Bill was $312 for 10 people, and it was not even close to worth it.

Bon appetit!

• Pros: Nazz was a good waiter. He was attentive and pleasant!
• Cons: Average food, and co ckroa ch in bowl of pasta.
