Ember

Food was eh, seasoning was not up to par. Seems like the dishwasher and waffle station person took the day off. The most memorable part of this experience was Caitlin our waitress she explained the shortcomings of the back of the house and tried her best to make our experience worthwhile. While I won't be back I hope this establishment gets it together and I hope all their service staff are trained like Caitlin (sorry if her name is misspelled)

New or visiting the area? Wine Wednesdays are a can't go wrong day if you're looking to hang out and have an awesome time. Security is good at the front door to ensure everyone's safety, and the staff are super cool. The average age varies from 21 to about 40, but if you look the part just go with it, you're as young as you look and feel in my book...

We picked Ember after doing a search on Google for a friendly restaurant in downtown Orlando. The restaurant has a great atmosphere of an older building with exposed brick, two bar areas center to eating areas. Indoor area had high top seating, covered outside area had short top tables and booths. Our server greeted us at the table and we ordered a Manhattan and lemonade. I had to use the restroom, which was clean and tidy. The menu has several choices, I had the sirloin beef tips with hand mashed potatoes and a mushroom sauce. We engaged the server in small talk and he suggested several places of interest we should go for the day on Sunday. We paid the check, chatted with him a bit more and said our good byes. Overall a great experience for us, and will definitely return next time we are in town.
