   We had reservations for outdoor seating because that was the only reservation left, but they were able to get us a table inside which I was super grateful for. It was my birthday and Jean was the very best waiter ever!!! I haven’t been since last year on my birthday and I was not disappointed! It was a great experience

   Service was excellent, especially Paolo, but all the staff were superb! Most of the food was excellent, and anything that wasn’t absolutely amazing was still good. The buffalo braised ribs fall right off the bone and the sides included in that dish are all excellent. The sacred smoke cocktail was great and the hot stone Wagyu was the best in the state of Arizona. The presentation of food was entertaining enough for the 4 and 9 year old boys and the noise level was just enough to keep conversation semi-private. Even the complimentary additions such as the focaccia bread and amuse-bouche were delicate and tasty. Lastly, I loved that the casino is smoke-free indoors. Highly recommend making the drive out there to enjoy a wonderful family date night!

   This was my second visit to the Ember restaurant. It is a gem and so much more than one would expect in a casino steak house. Starting with the bartenders through the waitstaff the service is exceptional. The food is superb and presented with simple elegance. The restaurant decor is done in quiet good taste.

   Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded 6 days agoGordon, We all look forward to your third visit. And thank you so much for recognizing our amazing staff and the superb cuisine.

    The staff and management at this establishment are so attentive. They really go out of their way to make it a fine dining experience. The steaks are all USDA and prepared and seasoned excellently. Our cocktails were amazing, and overall I'd say this is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I wanted to mention that our waiter "Frenchie" was exceptional. He was so pleasant! I hope whoever dines here gets him as their waiter.

    Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on January 8, 2023Thank you for recognizing our dedication to the guest and creating experiences on all levels.

    BLUF: If you're looking for a steak that blows other valley restaurants out of the water and a robust wine program, dine here! We dined here on a Friday night as a "going away" dinner for my Mom and Sister who were here for the holidays. Our party had Ryan as our server who was wonderful. He knew the menu well, and offered in-lieu-of suggestions to someone in our party who has a severe food allergy. Do not sleep on a conversation with Dennis, the (advanced) sommelier! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and able to not only answer- but thoroughly articulate why certain wines may be your best choice for your dinner. He entertained a few questions from my sister and I, even while the restaurant was hosting two large parties with over 20 guests on a busy evening. Now onto the food- excellent. We had a salad appetizer and steaks as mains (ribeye, filet, and bison tenderloin). All were impeccably prepared and honestly, just a damn good steak. Unfortunately, timing between courses became an issue (due to the aforementioned large parties), but the GM came over and graciously made accommodations for us. We finished with desserts that were also amazing. Overall, our night was excellent. Ember is managed incredibly well, has great staff (hostess, bussers, food runners too!), talented chefs, creative bartenders, and (again) excellent food. We'll be back soon!

    Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on January 11, 2023Thank you so very much for taking the time to articulate your recent dinning experience. I look forward to share your comments with the entire team! We all look forward to have you back very soon. Regards, Brent Rumph GM at Ember

    This is a beautiful restaurant, the food the service and atmosphere is designed beautifully. Will definitely return. I was disappointed by how people were dressed especially on New Year’s Eve. I feel a restaurant of this caliber and price range can enforce the dress code more, I realize we’re a country of fast everything, sloppy lazy dressing, but this beautiful restaurant shouldn’t have to pay the price. It’s a fine dining restaurant and as such should be respected as such by its patrons. I’d like to see a more enforced dress code especially at dinner and special events.

    I ordered a $65.00 rib eye steak 16 Oz. I thought I was eating peppered beef Jerry. I ordered med. And the season pn top thesteak was 1/16 thick of pepper and salt. Ruined the whole steak. My lobster tail I ordered in addition could be used to play racket ball it was touch as rubber. Last time I eat here for the cost of $300.00

We could have made sure you left happy and satisfied with your dining Ember experience. Maybe you could give the restaurant an opportunity to win back your good favor in the future.

    How a fine steak house with great wine list should be run. When you pay high end prices you should expect to get high end food and service....and you do here. The live piano player in the bar is a great addition.

    No smiles from any employees. Waiter did his job, but was rather”aloof” and “condescending.” Menu as very limited, three items. Member of our party was an experienced, Culinary Institute of America, Chef. This was our second Christmas dinner at “The Embers”

    Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino ResortResponded on December 27, 2022Bill., We received nothing but 5 star reviews on Christmas Eve. I'm sorry we did not live up to your expectations. Who was your server so I can share your experience with them. We offered a full supplemental menu that night other than the 3 item Prix Fixe. Perhaps you were not made aware of that choice. I appreciate you spending your Christmas Eve with us and look forward to hear back from you. Regards, Brent Rumph GM at Ember
