    The perfect evening! The decor and live vinyl music from the DJ made for a great atmosphere. The wine was lovely, and the food was incredible. I love the social dining concept, we shared many small plates and desserts - you have to try the burnt leek and labneh, garlic and laffa bread. To top it all off, our waitress Emily was super welcoming and always on hand for whatever we needed! Thanks for a lovely evening Ember

    Great night last night at Ember’s opening. The food and wine were delicious, presented beautifully, with a warm welcome, it brings a London vibe to Hertford. Great place for a special night out.

    Possibly the best food I’ve had in Hertford (and I live here) Simple but well put together food, reasonably priced in a a beautiful restaurant with fantastic music. The labneh is a must try, artichoke pie delicious, carrots and sprouts were well matched with hazelnuts and pancetta. I’m so happy to had a great new local addition.

    Exquisite food, and great vibe with the sharing platters (small and large) and the live vinyl Dj mixing music alongside the open bar and kitchen. The sharing beef rib and roasted pumpkin sides are a must! The downstairs cocktail bar also made for a great aperitif (or would be perfect for a celebration / corporate event!)

    We ate in the bar downstairs on the opening night. Great atmosphere, good music, food tapas style and delicious. We had liver parfait with tangerine, mackerel, cod, amazing carrots and chips to die for. Great addition to town.

    Great service and food, first night done very well, Dow stairs bar felt draft but once curtain pulled across much better. Food is small plates with larger main to share, not tapas but very different but very good food and wines very nice and by the glass also

    We had an absolutely fantastic evening at Ember in Hertford! From start to finish, everything was flawless. Ryan provided exceptional service, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was simply outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the mackerel was packed with flavor, and the steak—wow—easily the best we’ve had in Hertford! Every bite was perfection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. My partner and I were so impressed that we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Ember to anyone looking for top-quality food and excellent service.
