We have been enjoying meals here for a few year. We recently went for a birthday celebration and we're excited about their menu changes. The steak sandwich that was on special was perfection. You can't ever go wrong with their salads and anything they do with short rib. The staff is great and attentive without hovering. Service was fast. Still one of our favorite places to go in the Rochester area!

Very interesting concept of American style fresh tapas. Flavors were very good and unique. Menu had lots of interesting options. Sweet potato eggrolls had an unexpected kick to them. Burger was cooked with a great flavor and carmelized onions tasted so good on the burgers. Service was ok.

Service, atmosphere, quality of the food and wine were fantastic. We visited while traveling through the area and were thrilled to find this place. Highly recommended.

Great service and delicious food! Fun cocktails made tonight!! Thin mint martini made up, and made amazing!!

This is one of our favorite go-to's for a piping hot meal, great service and crafted cocktails! The restaurant is an old train station and has several rooms to enjoy a meal, including a back patio. Check their schedule for live music in the summertime.

I was supposed to come here with a friend but he's sick so it's a good thing I like dining solo just fine. I went right after they opened and there were several tables there already. Maybe Solar Eclipse traffic??? I was greeted right away-from across the room actually. I think it was the manager because he made the rounds to the tables asking how everything was later on. I started off with a lemon sour. Delicious. Never had one but if you're looking for a sweet drink this ain't it. It was on special. I was delivered bread with honey butter, pickles and hummus. I thought that was weird but it was actually so good on the bread. I had a piece of Italian bread, some onion bread and probably focaccia. The bread plate was insane-I could have just had bread there and been happy. I ordered a wood fired pizza. I mean that's in the name so that's what I got. It was pretty good. The sauce is on the spicy side. Just enough heat to wake up your tastebuds but not so uncomfortable that your mouth is on fire. I heard the table next to me also was talking about the spice of one of their dishes and talking about their nose running when things are spicy...same girl, same. And my nose was a little runny. I wish the pepperoni had been cup and char but that may have put that pizza over the top with having such a robust sauce. I did indulge in dessert. Against my better judgement because I full! But luckily my dessert stomach stepped her ass up to the plate and took one for the team. I do not think the dessert selection is that fantastic. I think every dessert has some chocolate in it except for the crème brûlée so if you're not a chocolate person, there's not a whole lot to choose from. I really wanted the coconut cake, but that had chocolate ganache on it, and the oatmeal cake just sounded unappealing so I passed on those. The crème brûlée was really good. My server was really good. I can't complain. It's a good place to eat-worth the drive and I liked the atmosphere. I found it to be a little drafty though and I noticed others keeping their coats on. I didn't have a coat so I was a bit chilly the whole meal. Good drink selection, not many appetizers though not that you'll need them. They encourage plate sharing. The pizzas are quite big especially for one!!

Got an 8pm reservation on a Friday for dinner with my daughter. We were in town to check out the nearby college. We were seated right away. Ambiance is awesome! Lighting is just right, decor is modern, and the seating is situated nicely for conversation. Staff was excellent from the gentleman running the process to the absolute "foodie" of a waitress. She took the time to discuss the food options and also took time to talk to us about the area, so that my daughter could get a sense of what a student would experience. On to the food. Straight awesome! Definitely a foodie paradise. Sharing plate setup is a dream. We had a margherita pizza, premium tomato taste, fresh mozzarella, and a crunchy and chewy crust! Jerk chicken and rice and Mac and cheese were also hits. Raspberry chocolate truffle dessert engaged parts of my stomach that don't usually get engaged. Loved it! All around great experience!

First time to eat at EMBER... well well, its really pretty place. Host is friendly. Waitress is friendly too and its awesome that she is willing to communicate w/ Deaf customers. Thats awesome. Food? Pizzas are really good!! Mac & Cheese is kinda not bad. Fries is pretty ok but we added salt to make it better. Breads is not bad but if you add sweet butter or sweet dill.. or other- that'd better taste. Thats why i give 4 stars. Also, theyre shareable and hugeeee!! Inside of the building is really nice!! It looks like 4-5 stars fancy. Rocketman hanging up on ceiling is cool. Cleanest!! Definitely will come back again for date night.

Limited menu, kinda pricey, really good food. Got seated right away, took a while to get service. Won't sub anything, didn't want the fries, but they included them anyway. Wedge was delicious, and the 18 day aged burger was super flavorful - grilled onions on top complemented the beef well.

Ember is now one of my favorite restaurants! Love the family style shareable dishes, you can try a bunch of different things! And yes, the portions are actually suitable for this! We shared the steak burger, the macaroni and cheese, and the house salad. Best burger I've had in a long time, and best salad I have had in a long time! Mac and cheese was very good, just not my favorite. Service was excellent, they are so friendly and serve the food as soon as it's ready - which is fast. Super cute place, I just wish they had outdoor seating. Will definitely be coming back soon!
