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.

Food was okay. Not nearly worth the price. Front of house was disorganized. The food was mistimed and they ended up throwing out our leftovers we asked to be boxed.

4 diners on a Saturday night in the main dining room.
Diners all had different appetizers/salads.
The same for main and desserts.
Each order was delicious.
Can’t go wrong with fresh food like this.

Embers is one of our favorite restaurants to enjoy with friends and family, especially those from out of town. You can't go wrong with the filet Oscar or Kobe sushi roll.

Pretty good place for date night. The staff was really nice and helpful. The food was ok, I wouldn’t run back to eat at this place again, it’s a little pricey for the quality.
