Ember Miami

It was our first visit to the design district in Miami and we had read good things about this restaurant and honestly… They are well deserved! Everything from the vibe to the service to the food was exceptional. Even down to the homemade potato chips were off the hook. First of all Marcelo B, our server was both personable and informative. Just a great personality and really made our visit. The cocktails and Seabass were both delicious. The restaurant as well appointed and the playlist very cool… Would not hesitate to come here again when visiting this area. It’s tucked away but don’t let that discourage you! It is worth a visit!

This place is incredible!! Came here for Valentines 2020 with my husband. They had an incredible specia menu. The ambiance is beautiful and chic. The service was impeccable. The food just sparked my Pallet with every bite. The flavors were bold and executed with perfection. Not one detail was left out. Just amazing!! Thanks Chef Brad!

I've been wanting to go to Ember for a while now and thanks to Miami Spice last September, we were able to take advantage of this limited-time menu. From the minute we walked in, we felt something different about this place from the décor, lighting, staff and the crowd. It was a Tuesday evening and this place was packed but we did have reservations. First, we got a round of cocktails at the bar and I got The Cobbler made with gin, fino sherry, vermouth, kiwi, strawberry & Lime Basil. Wow. So refreshing and it wasn't watered down at all plus it was only $10 because it was part of the spice menu. A few minutes later, our table was ready. From the spice menu, I selected the Shrimp & Grits for an appetizer, Lamb Osso Bucco for the main course and Rice Krispies al Mode for dessert. There wasn't a single dish that I didn't love especially the lamb. I was honestly speechless after one bite. It was so tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the presentation was superb. This was probably the best lamb dish I've ever had. I also had a bite of my friend's Fried Chicken and I loved the spicy kick. Great crunch too. I also tried the Chocolate Chess Pie dessert. OMG. Heaven! Everything about this restaurant was excellent. I'm so tempted to come back before Miami Spice ends but not sure if there's time. On my next visit, I will definitely opt to sit in front of the open kitchen and watch these master chefs at work. I think there were about 4 or 6 seats available to reserve. Will see you soon Ember :)

I've always been a Brad Kilgore fan ever since J&G and Alter. It was great to see him branching out, and I needed to stop in here at some point. Finally made that a reality recently. The decor and space are fantastic, I love the design. The service was good, but not excellent. The food was awesome; the lasagne was spot on. Other apps were great too. Didn't drink, but will have to try some things on the next visit.

I can't say enough about how DELICIOUS our dinner here was!! The night started off a little rough. The space isn't huge and they were packed so we weren't seated for an hour after our reservation. However, after speaking to two of the managers they assured me that they would make it up to us, and they did! They sent us a complimentary bottle of champagne, a complimentary entree (the full rack of ribs which were to die for!), and a complimentary dessert!! In addition to this we ordered the poutine, the mac n cheese, the cornbread, the fried chicken and the short ribs. And truly, everything was FANTASTIC!! The cornbread came with bone marrow butter that was out of this world! It was one of the best meals I've had in ages! Every single dish was AMAZING! And the consideration of the staff in dealing with the initial delay was awesome. Our server was superb and the manager Gustavo was delightful. They really went above and beyond!! We all left happy and FULL and will certainly be back soon!!

Light up your palate with the chefs offering a burning hunk of Ember love. Modernly designed with earthly decor blending wood, stone, and metal. The large wood art are conversation pieces. The table are close to each other inviting conversations and browsing. The wicker chairs are comfortably wide and maybe a little difficult to move when someone needs to leave from the bench seating. There is also table, bar and kitchen view seating. Appetizers start in the teens and the entrees average $50. The Caesar salad is unique. The South would have won the Civil War had they served the North shrimp and grits like these, The spices on the salmon and potatoes were savory. Don’t leave without having dessert.

Hellooo!!! Went there with a friend for miami spice and found out that they opened just two months ago. Restaurant was packed on a tuesday night. Two empty tables outside. Not even one inside. Sat at the bar and had grits with shrimp for first course, fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes for a main, and sweet rice cookie with dulce de leche gelato for dessert. Fruity gin from the cocktail list and calling double IPA for drinks. I take one star out of my review because the bar staff did not ask how we liked the food we had, if we needed anything or if we wanted coffee. Ahhhh there was no mint in the house by the way. How come??? Thanks manager gustavo and chef brad for a nice casual dinner!! Hope see yall soon!!
