Embers

took 10 people via limo to embers to satisfy a steak dinner bet among friends...ordered a couple of 64 oz. ""T"" bone steaks....lobster.... great appetizers..our first time there and lou and theresa the owners treated our group from south philly like we knew them for many years.....we are definitely going back....embers is a neighborhood restaurant and was recommended to us by a local who goes to all the new york steak houses and considers embers the best...if you go tell lou the gang from south philly sent you and we will be back with home made wine and soppressta..... Pros: food, drinks, appetizers more

I went with 14 people to Embers mid afternoon on a Sunday....the place was empty and the waiters just hung out at the bar...ordering and waiting for the food took for ever the food was good I wonder why the service improved only when this place filled up If I worked there I would be catering to a large group more

The steak was awesome. The review that complained about the Brooklyn week menu, you got that a small steak b/c you ordered the $19 special at a steakhouse that usually costs $40-50 a person. The filet mignon for two and the steak for two are both great. (Though the filet won't be enough if both have hearty apitites.) Small but good wine list. We had reservations, and although it was packed we got seated in 5 min. Pros: Good Steak, Good Wine, Good Service Cons: Skip more

I went to Embers with two of my girlfriends for Brooklyn's Restaurant Week. The menu was disappointing. Pasta or salad to start with... the salad was good but my friends hardly ate their pasta. Fish or filet mignon for the main course looked more promising. I have to admit that I loved the filet but we got a tiny portion (smaller than usual for filet mignon) and it was smothered in a roasted mushroom gravy type sauce. The sides were one piece of broccolli (that looked as if it had been heated in the microwave) and a baked potato. My friends hated the sauce... I liked it. Finally dessert was a cup of vanilla or chocolate ice cream (and no toppings offered), and we had to ask for some whip cream. This place is probably a decent steakhouse if you order from the regular menu but I was sadly disappointed. Pros: location, good wine more

I'm sorry to say this, but I can't really rate the food because after an hour wait my husband and I never got seated. We finally left only to have trouble getting our car from the valet. After we handed the ticket to the valet he told us we had to wait because he needed the spot. Our car was right across the street and we wanted our keys and he wouldn't give them to us. He said he didn't care that we never got seated and wanted to leave and that he needed the spot and we would have to wait. With that my husband just grabbed the keys out of his hand and told him we didn't care about his job we wanted our car. Needless to say he didn't get a tip. Cons: No Parking, Crowded, Very poor service more

EXCELLENT SERVICE & GREAT FOOD!!! We went on father's day b/c Lugar was booked, but this place is the equivalent! Make sure you get the HOUSE SAUCE!! VERRRRy tasty! more

My boyfriend and I decided to try Ember on a friend's recomendation. Though it was crowded we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. We ordered the t-bone for 2- it was so good that even when we were full, we kept eating... The service was excellent as well, which was suprising because it was so busy. I will definately go there again, but I will make sure not to eat the day before! Pros: awesome steak, great potato pie Cons: crowded, no parking more

But its great value. T-bone for 1 is massive & good it may not be Prime but you are paying select prices more
