Exceptional in every way. I’ve reviewed Ember several times previously and as my visits approach 30 since it opened, I can honestly say it’s the most amazing experience. Cooking over open fire provides a special ambiance. The chefs and front of house team are friendly, knowledgeable and really great. Above all, the food is fabulous. We do small plates dining and share our choices in order to get the best experience. Starters, fish, meats and vegetables are all wonderful - you may need Google to learn about some of the unusual ingredients - or just ask the staff. The menu changes regularly as they take advantage of the best seasonal produce. Leave room for a dessert though. The sticky toffee pudding is very special and always on the menu so it’s a toss up to decide whether to order it or one of the other fabulous puddings.

Fabulous annual crawfish boil, and good service. Some adjustments would have been good - some sauce to dip, a little more sausage. A little bit of entertainment/music would have improved the ambience. But we had a great time - recommended to friends and would do it again.
