So glad that I we came here for lunch. We tried spring rolls they were so refreshing and light. Perfect appetizer. Then on to my lunch....I tried shaken beef with garlic yakisoba type noodles. This was bomb. The beef was so tender and well seasoned a a sauce that makes my mouth water as I write this review. My friend had the pork lunch special which came with a bowl of soup salad and rice. I give both these plates a thumbs up big time. Service was outstanding. I did notice they had alot of regulars. I do like to see this. There is inside and outside seating. The only thing that killed me was my plate was 16 dollars. I had to try what everyone was talking about on yelp. It was worth it to me. Sometimes it's ok to treat myself lol. What made this lunch nice was that I enjoyed it with good company. I will definitely be back.

Decided on Embers because it was almost 10pm and we were just too tired to drive more than 10 minutes away from home. We've been here a couple of times already. It was nice out, so we chose outdoor seating. Friendly-looking server promptly seated us and took our drink order. It wasn't a beer day for me, so I went with the Aviation (Gin, Luxardo, Lemon Juice, and Creme De Violette). A girly drink, yes, but so what - if it gets you buzzed, it serves a purpose, right? Veruka got the Stone Smoked Porter, which she said had the after taste of an ashtray.

Appetizer - can't go wrong with the Embers Sliders, served with fries. We were starving, so that hit the spot! For the main course, I ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto. It was well prepared, and yes, the mushrooms tasted fresh! My dining partner chose the Linguine Frutti di Mare. The scallops were nice and tender, and the fish was moist and flakey. Her only complaint was that there was too much linguine. Picky, picky! For dessert, we shared the Warm Bread Pudding which had some kind of blueberry sauce. It was insanely delicious, and ranks up there with my favorite bread pudding experiences. No chocolate chips in this one, but warm, creamy, crunchy and sweet all at the same time!

I liked the ambiance - would be a great place to take someone on a first date. It's a little pricier than most places though - $115 (including tip), for a dinner for two.
POSITIVE

This place needs a bit of work. Customers should not have to wait 10+ minutes for a salad. When I order a menu salad and 86 the meat I shouldn't be charged the same price. Paid $12 for a bowl of veggies and dressing because I did not want the hunk of salmon. The cashier was also a bit on the surly side when I asked about the pricing without meat. I love the concept, and the salads are good, but there are definitely things that need to improve. The man standing next to me in the CROWD of people waiting for their salads remarked that he was starting to miss meetings. I'll try again in a few months when they've hopefully worked out the kinks and maybe their prices will be a bit more realistic for a ""lunch"" restaurant.
