   The service was great and food was tasty, but the noise level was really loud throughout the restaurant and several nearby tables were oblivious to the fact that they were disrupting everyone else’s dinner.

   We entertained dear friends at Ember & Rye for dinner. You can never go wrong when dining at this fantastic restaurant. Although it is primarily a high end steakhouse, their dining options cover everything from chicken to fish to veal and pasta. Guests can enjoy superbly prepared gourmet dishes or just order one of the best burgers in town. The service is always exceptionally friendly and professional. I highly recommend Ember & Rye for a date night or a special occasion.

   Wonderful experience. All the dishes were great, service impeccable. Met Chef Blaise. Back waiters Daniel and all other staff were superb. Sous chef Gerald came out with the steak and was awesome. Primary server Mathew did a fantastic job. 5 stars will definitely come back.

   The proteins are all delicious, of course, but don’t miss out on the corn crème brûlée or the potato puree with whipped Boursin! Ambience and service are both great. Chef Blais happened to be there! He went around chatting with all the guests, and we had a lovely conversation. They say he visits about once a month, so shoot your shot!

   The waiter was in a hurry and I feel rushed our experience. The food was ok. Not worth the money in my opinion.

   Our dining experience at this restaurant was disappointing. Despite having a reservation for 6:45 PM through Open Table, we were informed upon arrival that our table was oversold and wouldn’t be ready for another 20-30 minutes. The only immediate option was outdoor seating, which was not appealing to me because of the cold weather. We opted to wait at the bar, which was beautifully designed and offered excellent drinks. However, dinner was less impressive. We were repeatedly interrupted by servers trying to deliver dishes that weren’t ours, which detracted from our enjoyment of the meal and conversation. Although our server was very knowledgeable and professional, the overall service experience was lacking. The lobster croquette appetizers and the main courses of steak and salmon were delicious, complemented by a good selection of wines. However, the potatoes were overly salty and the mushrooms too rich. The area where we were eventually seated lacked ambiance, featuring overly bright lighting and a disconnected feel from the main dining room. Ironically, the bar area where we waited had a much more inviting atmosphere. Overall, while the food had its high points, the mix-up with our reservation and the setting issues left us disappointed.

    Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience with my daughter. We were seated at our reserved time and promptly greeted by our server, Erica. She was terrific. We brought a bottle of wine, which was opened by their somm, Johnny. We offered him a taste since he was not familiar with this particular burgundy. We enjoyed several appetizers—all deliciously crafted. We shared a rib-eye, mushrooms, and broccolini. The steak was cooked perfectly, though slightly fatty. It was as ideal a meal as I’ve had in quite some time. Chef Jonathan came and sat with us at the end. We will definitely return, without a doubt.
