This is a bar trying to be a fine dining restaurant. Our server was definitely a bar food server. When asked what the soup of the day was, he said he wasn't sure but he thought it was Cauliflower. The soup arrived in quite a large bowl and it was stone cold and lacked flavor. This was then switched for a Caesar salad. The flavor was okay, but it was made with iceberg lettuce rather than romaine. The buttermilk fried chicken, while tender and juicy inside, but was in the fryer too long, as the crispy crust was on the edge of being burned. The mashed potatoes served with it were luke warm and runny. I've had much better instant from a box! My friend had the mushroom risotto, which she said was flavorful and good. The highlight of the meal was the bread pudding. We waited forever for it, but it was worth the wait. Small portion, but very rich and flavorful with a creme en glace sauce which the waiter had never heard of. He also said there were no apples in the bread pudding, which there clearly were. It was truly yummy. When we ordered the desert we weren't asked if we would like coffee, nor was my soda ever refilled after it was gone halfway through the meal. Embers has a long way to go both in service and food quality to becoming the fine dining establishment it's price's suggest it is.
