Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ember offers a "great experience" with "amazing food" and "outstanding service." Patrons rave about the "picture-worthy" presentation and the delightful sharing plate concept. While the ambiance is vibrant, it can get noisy. Notable dishes include the crispy tuna and smoky eggplant dip. Ideal for groups, Ember is a "new gem" in Ottawa.

    Went there on a date. We shared oysters, beef cheek pizza, and the halloumi - they were all superb!

    Menu selection is awkward ended up with strange combination and too much food. Taste good but not impressive. Will not go back

    We love the food and decor at this relaxed restaurant in the heart of the Byward Market. Our bonus this visit was "1/2 price on all wines every Wednesday". We took friends who had never had the pleasure, and they too look forward to returning for another delicious meal.

    Gourmet cuisine. Large servings so sharing side dishes with main is a great option. Something for everyone of all ages. Ottawa needed a restaurant like this and now they have it.

    We were a group of 6. The service and ambiance were outstanding. We took 1 plate of each side to share, the asparagus and the Brussels sprouts were just amazing. You could have definitely eaten more. I took the been cheek pizza, which was really good. The rigatoni was also an appreciated dish. We had a really nice oval table for our group! I found the restaurant for our visit to Ottawa, and we were very pleased!

    Such a great experience. Loved sitting on the bar side. We went for 6:30 and while the restaurant side was busier the bar side wasn’t. Our server was Shane and he was fantastic. The food was amazing. I had the cucumber and yogurt appetizer and my husband had the Caesar salad. This was followed by my special which was a truffle and mushroom pasta. So delicious and beautiful presentation. My husband had the whole roasted branzino which was gorgeous. So crispy. He didn’t opt for a side dish. We then had the cheesecake for dessert, beautiful presentation and so yummy. I had a Negroni when we first arrived and my husband had a gin and tonic. Great cocktails even the ice was amazing. The wine we had with dinner was also wonderful although I don’t recall the name. It was such a great experience and we were very happy waddling back to our hotel after dinner. It was expensive but totally worth it.
