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.

                                Food always good to great After eating there for years I think a remodel to bar area would be nice. Last night we had unusual disappointing service. Server was MIA 1/3 of the time. Also we added our Daughter’s 14th Birthday information in the reservation-not one person even wished her a happy birthday let alone did anything special for her.

                                Embers is a quiet restaurant with impeccable service. The food was delicious but somewhat overpriced. A $50 or $60 entree is ok for a special occasion but not really for an ordinary Saturday night.
