Embers Fireside Grill

My partner booked this restaurant as a surprise for our anniversary. A beautiful intimate restaurant with a fireplace as the centre focus of the room. Ordered the calamari for an entre, it was possibly the best calamari I have ever had. Super light on the batter and the sriracha Mayo was a perfect start to the dinner. For mains we ordered the scotch fillet steak and the whole rainbow trout. Absolutely gorgeous. BIG shoutout to the bar team for accomodating my order for a Charlie Chaplin cocktail. Even though they didn’t have any apricot brandy I was more than happy for them to experiment with the drink and I was BLOWN AWAY !! We shared the sticky date pudding was the highlight of the night, along with the most friendly staff I have encountered in a long time. I didn’t catch her name but the young girl working on Monday 28 June was so lovely and made conversation with genuine interest. Definitely returning and going to try out the pub side. ❤️

Definately worth a booking when in Jindabyne. Surprisingly bold flavours from a fairly safe, mainstream menu (which for us can be a deterrent as we like to try unique/experimental dishes). I had the whole trout (which was easy to dissect while eating) and my wife went with the mushroom pappardelle, both were great and we'll portioned to allow for an entre. The accompaniments with each dish also packed great flavours which often isn't the case in other places. Service was friendly and efficient, prices reasonable and pre dinner cocktails delish.
