    We went for dinner with two other friends, we had a very good time. The dirnks were good and the food was good. I found a little surprising that the options for main dishes with pork and chicken were limited, but I had the pulled beef sandwich which was good and my wife had the ravioli with extra breaded chicken and she loved it. Our server, Jordan, was excellent, and the ambiance was great. We had cauliflor bites and fried clamari, and it was good. Overall, very good choice for dinner, prices are reasonable and go well with the food provided, good solid food nothing really fancy. We enjoyed our visit.

    The food and flavours at Ember were eclectic and exceptional. We had been looking for a place to go to for special occasions to replace our old favourite Bella’s Bistro on Wellington in Westboro. I think we found it! Sara our waitress was courteous and friendly, her suggestions were spot on. She filled our water glasses without us having to say a word and she was attentive to our needs. We observed what appeared to be a higher ratio of servers to guests. We spoke to Head Chef Kyle who welcomed us and described some of the items on the menu. We’ll be back!!!
