Menu looked great and was very excited. Wagyu beef was thin and extremely chewy. King crab literally had no flavor. Risotto undercooked and under seasoned. Had the wedge salad and hands down the best item we tried but it’s hard to mess up lettuce, dressing, bacon and tomatoes. The service on the other hand was outstanding and our waiter Jean was very good.

Food was terrific - service outstanding - Amy, our waitress, was the best!

Lately, it seems like there are fewer and fewer restaurants that deliver on both - excellent food and impeccable service - but Ember delivers on both! From the GM to the Advanced Sommelier and to our server, we will remember our dinner there for a long time.
Can not wait to dine there again.

Cheers,

Ray

Very nice venue- comfortable chairs, beautiful piano music, lighting was perfect. Our server, Jennie, was excellent- attentive, knowledgeable, engaging. The food was beautifully presented and very good. Portion sizes were generous. My scallops were perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back!

We dined at Embers during our recent Staycation at Wekopa Resort. Our experience was amazing. The service we received from John, our waiter, was great and everyone involved were very pleasant! The food was to die for. Three of us had steaks that were cooked to perfection and the scallops the other one had were wonderful as well. I could definitely see us coming back again and again (maybe just for dinner and not the staycation). Thank you for a great experience from first time customers.

Amazing! GM Brent goes above and beyond. John’s menu recommendations were spot on. Grilled lobster phenomenal

The beet salad with squash blossoms was simply amazing and the rest of the meal continued at no less than excellence. The wine list too is as good as it is extensive so be sure to ask Sommalier Dennis for a recommendation!

Quality and delicious food, the service was top notch.

Twas amazing, wish everyone the best of luck, thank you

Great food and service. Happy hour is really good!

The food was served luke warm at best. The crab legs were cold and rubbery. Filet mignon was barely warm and full of gristle. Butter would not melt on the baked potatoe. Wedge salad was good. Dessert was great! Which we didn't pay for since it was my bday. Overall it was a very disappointing expensive meal.

John was great! Thank you for the amazing hospitality Brent!

Food was excellent and out of the ordinary. Sushi appetizer garnished with compressed watermelon coated with frozen shaved foie gras is worthy of any Michelin rated chief !
Wine selection rivals any restaurant coupled with outstanding service that is attentive without being intrusive and you don't need a mortgage to pay the bill !

Staff was very efficient and friendly. Food was excellent. Will definitely come again.

Food was just ok for the price

The food was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Will return soon.

THE PERSON that made our dining experience 5-star was Amy! Our server was professional, personable and an outstanding representative to your restaurant.

Wanted it to be a very special dining experience but unfortunately it just didn't quite make the grade.

The quality of the food is consistently and predictably excellent. The staff are universally very professional, with the knowledgable sommelier, Dennis and maitre de maison, Brett being especially attentive. The atmosphere is classic upscale lounge with silky live piano and singer, perfect for a special occasion or anniversary dinner.

The staff at Embers could not have been better! They really know the menu, and were very helpful and friendly. The piano music was incredible as well. We'll be back!!!

Birthday dinner for my spouse. A memorable experience thanks to our host and server! Can’t wait to go back to Ember. We love it!

Loved our waitress and the food was amazing! Everyone that worked there was so friendly and helpful.

Wonderful, enjoyed a delicious meal. Our waitress was a super gal...

The restaurant is beautiful and the food was outstanding. the steaks are prime and cooked over a wood fired grill . . it's the most amazing flavor. Caesar salad with kale was excellent and enough to share for 2 ( I don't even like Kale!). They offered an amuse buche of baby shrimp which was a nice touch. Amy was our server and she was really warm and helpful . . also funny! It is a fine dining experience that one expects to pay higher prices for and we can't wait to go back!

This restaurant is amazing. Food and staff well above average. Staff was outstanding and very friendly and knowledgeable on menu and over 600 wines to select from. This place is now apart of my top 3 places to eat. Also had live pianist and singer sounded beautiful.

Everything was fine except for our waitress. Very curt and unpleasant personality. Did become much friendlier and bubbly when it was time for the check. (Wonder why)??!! Will be returning, just hope we don’t get the same waitress.

Our dinner there last night was fabulous. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. We will definitely be back.

It’s a long drive but the casino is upclass and the food was very good! The machines could have been a little more relaxed:)

We really enjoyed our first visit here. Have never been here and have lived in Tonto for 17 years. Impressive.

It was a great experience. The food was fantastic. The service was awesome. Highly recommend, We'll definitely be back.

Short ribs great. Lobster not. It was drowned in truffle oil and sprinkled with herbs that overpowered the delicate taste of lobster. Soup and salad ordinary and not worth price.
They’re trying hard to keep up with all the trendy ingredients but the dishes are not that great in actuality.

Everything was amazing from beginning to end. I can’t pick what dish I enjoyed the most! Brent, Dennis, and John made it a special evening. Highly recommend!

My friends & I went for “restaurant week”. The table setting, the ambiance, the friendly staff, & the FOOD!!!!Everything was top notch. Our waiter was, John. What a gem of a waiter. We will definitely be going back. Honestly, I didn’t have much hope in Ft McDowell (from previous experience), but they really pulled through! The new casino is non-smoking which is a plus! I highly recommend!

Rating was 3.5. I would definitely go there again

Every aspect of this reservation was incredible. We really enjoyed The waitress, the sommelier and the attention that the general manager Brent was giving the guests at the restaurant. Absolute A+ in all ways!

Pros: Beautiful dining room. Very good food. Upscale for sure.
Cons: Too much time spent talking to us at the table. It would be nice if they wouldn't go through the menu line for line giving us their fav dishes. Same thing for the drink menu. Customers can ask questions about dishes and they can ask for recommendations if they want them. Took a long time to process the check. Probably short on servers.

Do not arrive at Ember expecting a fine dining experience. There seems to be no dress code and tank tops/flip flops worn by guests does not set a very elegant atmosphere. We originally arrived for restaurant week but we decided to order off of the regular menu instead. The ribeye was maybe 1/4" thick (think the thinnest cut you can get from a discount grocery store) and so overseasoned that I had to scrape off the overly salty seasoning layer. The steak was so thin that it was seemingly impossible to cook to order, which was unbelievable considering the $52 price. I ordered medium rare and I did not see the point in sending it back when it arrived medium well because it would have been a waste of time. The scallops were dry and rubbery. After asking for the check twice, it was dropped off and forgotten about. At the end of everything the Manager asked about our experience. We mentioned everything stated above, and how disappointed we were considering we were very excited to try this "destination dining experience." It is advertised as fine dining with "the highest quality of steaks and seafood." His response was to tell me that if I ever wanted to come back to shoot him an email... I wish that was the end of this experience, however, my stomach began turning after dinner and I was sick for the rest of the night and into the next day.

Food is not up to standards. Our waitress was very nice and tried her best to compensate for the rest of the problems. It took us 3.5 hour for the dinner to get completely served. Had to redo a stake. No heating lamps for sitting outside. Totally not recommend it.

Excellent service and food! John our server was very attentive. We enjoyed our experience at Ember!

Such a great place! Excellent service and food.
