Reviews For Ember Wood Fired Grill

We dined here last evening and had an excellent experience! The restaurant was quite busy, but we were seated promptly. The menu has a wide spectrum of options which had an option for everyone in our party (one person was dairy free and another was gluten free). Our server was attentive, suggested some pairings that complimented our meals nicely. Everyone in our party of four had a great meal and we are already planning our next (return) visit to this local gem!

I had the best chicken vodka ever! Perfectly cooked, ample portion, friendly service, lighting just right, not too loud, definitely will be coming back here soon.

We have always enjoyed this place, even having our wedding rehearsal dinner here. But we hadn't dinner here for over a year until last night. Still as good as ever! A great jambalaya, and a pizza as good as you will find anywhere.

It rivals Portsmouth restaurants in food quality and ambiance. Everyone commented on the mashed potatoes that came with a few of the dinners, and they were that good. The specialty drinks weren’t on par with the food, if I’m being honest. Maybe it was just mine. Still giving this a 5 star experience.

All around loved this place. We showed up about 45 minutes before closing and there wasn't a big crowd (awesome sauce). Our waitress was fantastic and the food was awesome. Not a huge fan of their gnocchi dish, but the gnocchi itself was right on the money. Fig and Arugula flatbread was so yummy!! Will go back next time we are in the area.

We had the absolute best rehearsal dinner here! We worked with Jordan and she made all our dreams come true. We picked food off the menu mostly but anything we wanted to tweak the chef accommodated it! The space is so cozy, the food is delish, the staff is professional and delightful! Highly recommend.

We went here for a “date night” tonight and the service and food were incredible. We ate out on the patio, and even though it rained, we were protected by the canopy. I recently have been eating more vegan and had the spicy vegetable rice noodles and the dish was perfectly seasoned and absolutely divine! The white sangria and roundhouse cocktails were perfect for a summer evening!!!
