Ember Restaurant and Bar

You will NOT be disappointed! We choose this restaurant to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The atmosphere, views, food and staff were all 10/10!! We ordered the mango shrimp appetizer....DELICIOUS! We also ordered the sea bass and Steak Frites and the carrot cake.....all 10/10! Highly recommend!! Make a reservation and ask for window seat! finding the building was the only issue. GPS took us directly to it but there weren't any signs....sign outside says SPA. We almost left. So glad we didn't.

Spectacular Breakfast Experience! The Garden Hash Bowl was exquisite. The assortment of fresh vegetables were cooked perfectly - all of them. So we're the scrambled eggs placed on top. Oh, and the complimentary sauce topped the whole dishit off! I reluctantly shared with my Love so he understood all of my "Mmmm's" throughout the meal. The best thing, for me, it was Gluten Free!!! Totally recommend this dish and many other of the Gluten Free menu items (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Many compliments to the Chef, Kitchen Staff, Wait Staff, and our favorite lunch/evening hostess [she knows who she is - quite the hugger :) ] The lake and the mountain views ain't bad either.

Amazing experience. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and our server Max was great. The view you have while dinning is breathtaking. A little on the pricey side but honestly it's so worth it.

My wife and I made a reservation for dinner for our last evening in Estes Park after spending some time in Rocky Mountain National Park hiking. The restaurant abutts Lake Estes and adjoining accommodations. Enter through the sliding doors under the small entry roof. Once inside, pass the concierge desk and head right then straight down the hall. The restaurant will be to your right with the egress doors to the patio in front of you. We were greeted quickly and led to our table against the exterior windows, which overlooked the lake. As others have noted, the view is a nice backdrop for the dining experience. The interior of the restaurant is decorated well, and the interior surfaces appeared to be of high quality. Even the leather (or leather like ?) chairs we were sitting in were very comfortable. Our server, Sam, was attentive, helpful, and polite. We started with the Mango Shrimp. These were excellent, and the portion was a good size. My wife chose the filet with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I selected the scallops with mushrooms. Food was served timely. The filet was cooked per request, mashed potatoes had good flavor, and asparagus were crisp. My scallops were like butter with the adjoining mushrooms and polenta fritters delicious. During the course of the meal, Sam and the rest of the team made intermittent stops to fill drinks, as well as check on things. We reviewed the desert menu and settled on the cheesecake to split. It had good flavor while the cake itself was on the crumbly side (which was fine). The bed of cherries it sat on was a nice touch and added to the enjoyment. After the meal, we chose to walk the sidewalk around Lake Estes and enjoy some more of the view. Overall, the stop was quite pleasant for ~100 dollars. While we wouldn't dine here every day, it was a worthwhile endeavor for the evening. If you're in the area and would enjoy a good meal, with quality service and a pleasant view, please give this location a shot.
