    Food was beautiful, lovely restaurant, quiet as it was a Monday lunchtime but that didn’t affect the food.

    Been to Ember for Sunday Lunch, diner and now their Greek lunch menu… it’s simply the best restaurant in the area. Nothing comes close… service, ambience and food. My absolute favourite restaurant….

    The food was lovely, Greek menu this month, and we went for the small plates which were £4 per plate so good value (other than the grilled prawns which were £4 per prawn for fairly small prawns). Everything was really tasty. The service was great too, very friendly and efficient.

    Lovely restaurant service was fantastic and the setting looking out on the river was fabulous. We had a selection of small Greek themed plates and ordered about 3 each on the advice of the waiter. All were excellent and such good value as we had the lunchtime menu £4 per dish. We will definately return
