Friday night is our traditional family night, take the teens and finally relax after typical frantic school, work blah blah blah. In Summerlin at 6:00 pm it's not too easy to get a table at a restaurant that suits fussy kids plus parents. \n\nI've been using Open Table in combination with Yelp to avoid disappointment and the \"it'll be 45 minutes for your table\" response that you will hear at popular family places like The Yardhouse or BJ's.\n\nWhen I tell \"Management\" I have booked \"Embers\", her response was lees than enthusiastic. The \"old\" Embers was a sort of BBQ joint hidden beneath a quite sophisticated Boca Park location. We hate BBQ.\n\n\"but,but,but\" I eloquently respond \"there's a new menu\".\n\nWe arrive and are greeted by a very friendly hostess, offered two different tables, window or booth in back and are promptly seated.\n\nOur server immediately arrived and got us drinks and sodas.\n\nMenu has changed, extensive without being over complicated.\n\nWe had a couple of appetizers, ahi tuna on little rice cakes, delicious, light and well presented. After they were done, the Tandoori chicken skewers arrived. Just as good.\nOur server noticed that one of the teens wasn't eating and brought him a bread basket. Nice touch.\n\nMains: We shared Beef Tacos, Griiled Salmon, Fish & Chips and the Cheese Burger. All were top notch.\n\nBelly full, 2 beers, two Chardonnay, countless sodas $120 before tip.\n\nWe are coming back, it will be a new regular venue.
