    second visit to Ember and both times the main courses were fantastic however i was underwhelmed with the deserts and feel they could be improved particularly with the addition of cream/ice cream as an accompaniment However the ambience was fab and our waitress Emily was exceptional with her knowledge of the dishes and her attentiveness
