Recently attended upstairs at Ember for an event, the vibe was elegant and sophisticated as well as warm and cozy - a perfect combination that isn’t often the case. I didn’t get the chance to try the food (so, I’ll update the review then) however they did have vegan options and various mocktails. I had the lavender one and it was affordable and delicious. The staff was also super friendly and kind while we were there. A night to remember, we’ll be back monthly!

They've cracked the code on what a good pizza crust is. Slightly chewy and flavorful, even on the first bite. High class toppings, and a large airy enjoyable crust around the outside.We got take out of a burger and salad as well. They were both great, the burger was prefecture cooked and enjoyable, and the salad was interesting and scrupulous.

This was some of the best takeout we've ever had locally! The menu is creative, the food was prepared incredibly well, and the fulfillment of our takeout order was timely. When picking up our order we did note that neither patrons nor staff were masked; do with that what you will!

Great vibes in here. We sat near a fireplace and had great food and service. We actually came in early (before our reservation) and had a drink at the bar too. Bartender was great and had a maple/bacon/whiskey special going on that was very good. We will be back for sure.

My short rib Bolognese was great, but my partner felt the sides with her chicken were a bit under seasoned. For appetizers we got wings and Tuscan dumplings. The dumplings again felt a bit bland and were swimming in a watery broken sauce. That might have been due to being a takeout dish with a slaw on the side of it. For dessert we had a caramel turtle cheesecake which was quite tasty.

Date night was made even better by the sassy waitress. She had lots of personality and great recommendations. I tried mussels for the first time and wow! They are actually really, really good!So, I had the ember burger and it was absolutely delicious. Mmmm.He had the duck confit risotto. Yeah, okay. It should be illegal to make food this good.We'll be back.

The food here is phenomenal...shout out the meatball sauce. Steak tips were cooked perfectly (rare), the brussel sprouts melted in my mouth (WOW), and the mashed potatoes that came with it were the perfect compliment to the rest of the meal. The drinks were very good as well. The waitress we had was so friendly and genuine. Will 100% be coming back and I am looking forward to it.

Ember is great! The staff are friendly, the cocktails are amazing and wonderfully crafted, and every morsel of food was absolutely wonderful. This is a very pricey restaurant but it's worth every penny.

This place was amazing!! Kira our waitress was THE BEST EVERRRR!! Steak tips were incredible, Greek salad and mushrooms Napolitano...soooo good!! Dessert...we ordered all of them!! You won't be disappointed!

What a gem. From the moment we walked in to dessert everything, was perfect. Our server Sarah was engaged, accommodating and so pleasant. The drinks were perfectly crafted and delicious. One of the specials for the evening- foie Gras custard was insanely delicious. The Greek salad was the perfect blend of fresh, crispy lettuce and Greek accompaniments topped with just the right amount of dressing! Three diners had the veal picata was perfectly prepared- tender lightly breaded veal served aside truffle spatzel. The duck confit risotto was also delicious and well flavored. The Desserts-espresso creme Brule and Samoa cheesecake and Irish coffees were delicious. A perfect meal with attentive service. So glad we made the trip from Merrimack to experience this great restaurant.
