We recently attended Ember for a birthday celebration with a table of six, and I can honestly say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Every single person in our group commented that the food was some of the best they’ve ever had—each dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and truly memorable. The staff were absolutely amazing—so hospitable and friendly, they went above and beyond to make the evening special for us. Their warm and attentive service turned a great meal into a wonderful experience. If you’re considering dining here, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a nice evening out, Ember is a place you’ll want to visit again and again.
