My family attended the Sunday brunch for Mothers Day and we had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, there was plenty to choose from and the dessert bar was incredible. The restaurant is beautiful inside and the service was very good. All of the staff was extremely friendly -- people checked on us and said goodbye to us who weren't even our waitress. Although it was a busy day for the occasion, we did not feel rushed at all, even though we stayed 2 hours!

I came on the recomendation of friends. The Sunday Brunch was really good. There were many things to choose from. I really liked the biscuits and gravy, but the sticky buns were melt in your mouth delicious. Our server was very friendly and outgoing. I really liked the feel of Ember and plan on bringing a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. I would suggest to anyone to try Ember , we got good food at a good value. On ascale of 1 to 10 I give Ember a 9! I was just at Ember this past Sunday. I came on the recomendation of friends. The Sunday Brunch was really good. There were many things to choose from.

We were told that was fine, and to let them know when we were ready. When we were ready we were told we had to wait. they didn't have enough menus. About 30-40 minutes later I went back up to the host stand and still no menus, I asked if we could just go to our table, we had studied a menu in the bar, and all of us were on round 2 of drinks with no food. We ordered, and waited 50 minutes for our food. The most one of our steaks was cooked was med-rare. When our food arrived, the steaks were cold and the sauce horrible. The butter didn't even melt on the potatoes! We got 2 new filets, cooked too fast, burnt on the outside raw inside, and the strip was well done, which was to be med rare! The nachos were cold, and mushy, and the chicken parm was horrible, it tasted like jar sauce with BBQ sauce mixed in, the chicken was under the pasta, and no malted cheese to be found. The manager bought us a round of drinks at first, but acted like all she wanted was the bad dream to go away. She came back after we were done, and told us she would take the 3 steaks off. When we got our checks I was charged my drink and my filet, I asked, and she question if I even ordered a filet, but then took them off. The server was very nice and felt sorry, but I don't think any of us will be back.
