About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Great for fine wines
Opened in the spring of 2004, Embers is a contemporary American Steakhouse with a twist. Classic Steakhouse offerings along with complete selections of seafood & sushi are available in a warm inviting atmosphere.

Embers, as the name implies, evokes the warmth and comfort of a glowing fire; from the stacked-stone torch and gas lanterns outside to the glowing candles within. Black & White photographs of Cincinnati landmarks and celebrities create a sense of history and place, while large oil canvasses and vibrant floral arrangements punctuate the rooms with color.

    Our server Ryan was great! The food was outstanding. I had the braised short ribs, a special, which were really good. My wife had salmon, that I tasted. It was great as well! I understand this is not on the regular menu. Maybe it could be something available on a limited basis? On Sunday as “Sunday Short Ribs”! I would come for that. We come occasionally from northern Kentucky, it’s always worth the trip.

    We always enjoy our meal at Embers. The sushi is so fresh and tasty - even though it seems expensive, the rolls are enormous. My filet was a tiny bit over, and for some reason, our entrees took a long time, but we weren't in a hurry and just enjoyed our evening. Green goddess salad, filet, pork chop, duck fat fries, crunchy spicy roll, and a few cocktails - all delicious.
