    Ok to start with half price wine is a big draw. We had the smoked garlic and caramelized onion bisque. Followed by the heirloom tomato and urata cheese, outstanding  our normal spicy tempura roll, out of bounds.  Ask for Joe

    This was my second time eating here, and it was just ok.  It was kind of early, so there was a ridiculous amount of wait staff hovering.  I could barely set my water glass down without it being refilled, and we were asked how everything was way too many times.  By the end of the meal we couldn't even tell who our actual waiter was.

    I got Sushi to start, and it was good.  Everything is separately priced on the menu, and I just couldn't decide what I wanted, so I went with the ribs because they come with Mac and cheese.  I asked if the Mac and cheese could be upgraded to the lobster mac and cheese, and the waiter said that was no problem.

    Food comes out, and everything looks good.  I see chunks of lobster on top of the Mac and cheese and dig in.  Even though it tasted fine, it was obviously microwaved.  The pasta around the edge was dried out and the sauce separated and was oily around the outside.  The ribs, which say they're a half rack, are very small.  They were extremely dry, but when dunked in the sauce had a good taste.  

    Everyone was nice, and the atmosphere is nice, but for the price there are much better options and we won't be back.

    Second time here and always the friendliest service. Came for my husband's birthday and we shared a iceberg wedge salad which they split for us to avoid a mess. The filet mignon was exceptional and cooked well. We shared the mushroom
    Risotto and duck fat fries. They fry the fresh cut potatoes just before they bring them out so it's hot and very crispy (I hate room temp or soggy fries!). We were too stuffed to have dessert so they packed it to go.

    The staff always seems happy to be working there and it really makes the atmosphere pleasant. If you can, try to snag a deal in the Cincinnati reserve. If not, the dinner can be a little pricey but for the caliber of food and service, you are guaranteed a fancy night out!

    Highly recommend: Oreo stuffed donuts (it's amazing!), duck fat fries.

    This was an interesting one. The area was quiet which was great for us. The waiter was quite satisfactory. The helpers were a little pushy. The sushi was not available with brown rice. The filet mignon was tough and too salty. Would I go here again I'm really not sure. If they had brown rice I would. And I would be sure to tell him not to salt the filet mignon so much. Who knows maybe there's not any tender beef available to him.

    Fantastic happy hour special! ****You must sit in the bar area**** First we enjoyed delightful mini apps like crab cakes and cheeseburger sliders. Next we ordered some half price sushi, I picked the sea bass which was the bomb! My friends ordered the surf n turf which they devoured-it was delicious! If you're an onion ring fan, order some from Embers- the seasoning was tasty and they were crunchy while not all sliding out in one bite. The happy hour also had great drink deals- I ordered some white wine but they also had beers and cocktails featured. Embers happy hour is the way to dine! Fantastic food (taste and quality) for a cost that won't break the bank! Gotta try it!
