I recently dined at Ember & Iron and had a generally enjoyable experience. The ambiance was fantastic, with a cozy yet modern vibe that made for a relaxing meal. The staff provided excellent service, attentive without being overbearing, and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with some appetizers, and I have to say, they were a highlight of the meal. Each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, setting the bar high for the rest of the meal. However, the burger was a bit of a letdown, despite having a great flavor profile. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned, but the bun was soggy, which detracted from the overall texture. It definitely could have benefited from being toasted for a bit more crunch and structure. All in all, a great spot for appetizers and a nice atmosphere, but I’d suggest they work on perfecting the burger for the full experience.

Very nice & the food was a hit🤩. I took my fiancé for her birthday & she loved it. Jake was our server & he was excellent. Definitely a keeper. I’d highly recommend coming & trying out several of the dishes. I had the crab cakes to start, then the salmon 🍣 as my entree. Everything was cooked perfect.

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the chimichurri steak had incredible flavor. The appetizers were a great start, and the flourless chocolate cake for dessert was the perfect ending. Highly recommend this place for amazing food and great service!

The place is great! We came a bit earlier than busy hours, and enjoyed the place, atmosphere and food! Toasted roasted were perfect, steak and my seafood were great! We didn't have dessert as there is nothing unique.

Pork Schnitzel – Ember & Iron Dinner Menu Review As a regular patron of Ember & Iron, I consistently enjoy the thoughtful selections and creative interpretations on the menu. For tonight’s dinner, I chose the Pork Schnitzel entrée, which was paired with confit potatoes, mustard cream, and “Brussel Kraut”—a clever and flavorful twist on traditional sauerkraut. The accompaniments were carefully prepared: the confit potatoes were tender and well-seasoned, while the mustard cream provided a nice, tangy balance to the richness of the dish. The Brussel Kraut, though flavorful, was surprisingly very modest in portion—perhaps only a tablespoon—which left me wishing for a more generous serving to round out the plate. The schnitzel itself, however, was the point of departure. Traditionally, schnitzel is known for a thin, delicate cut with a crisp, even breading. In this preparation, the pork was noticeably thicker and heavily fried, resembling more of a standard cutlet than a classic schnitzel. When I brought this to the team’s attention, they explained that the thicker style reflects local preferences. While I appreciate the insight, a thinner, lighter preparation would have better aligned with traditional expectations—and perhaps benefited from a brief description update on the menu to set proper expectations. In sum, while the dish showcased high-quality ingredients and thoughtful flavor pairings, the execution of the schnitzel and the unexpectedly small portion of kraut left room for improvement. Nevertheless, Ember & Iron remains a standout venue, and I look forward to returning and continuing to explore their inventive menu offerings. I’ll be back soon.
