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.

    Brought my 12 year old grandson to early dinner for a treat. We were seated in the main dining room, very quiet, not very busy. Service was terrific, very attentive and respectful to my grandson. Food was okay; he loved his sushi choices. He really liked the experience and that was my goal.

    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.

    We went to celebrate our 6th anniversary and had just the most polished experience, we have had in quite some time. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, everything was legitimately immaculate. This is a special occasions destination for us and family and it truly never disappoints. Thank you so much to our server and support staff for helping this anniversary being so special. We can’t wait to come back!

    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.
