Opened in the spring of 2004, Embers is a contemporary American Steakhouse with a twist. Classic Steakhouse offerings along with complete selections of seafood & sushi are available in a warm inviting atmosphere.

Embers, as the name implies, evokes the warmth and comfort of a glowing fire; from the stacked-stone torch and gas lanterns outside to the glowing candles within. Black & White photographs of Cincinnati landmarks and celebrities create a sense of history and place, while large oil canvasses and vibrant floral arrangements punctuate the rooms with color.

                                Embers is one of our favorite restaurants to enjoy with friends and family, especially those from out of town. You can't go wrong with the filet Oscar or Kobe sushi roll.

                                My wife and I went to Embers for her birthday. The service was excellent and the food was served promptly. The food was excellent. We were both impressed and will visit again.

                                Steaks (filet) and lobster were dry, lacked crust or flavor. Salad was basic and underwhelming, the best parts were the bread and sushi. I wouldn’t recommend doing more than a bite at the bar. The old fashion was really weak and lacked flavor as well. Everything was really blamed
