Ember Kitchen - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Rachel Gray: I can’t lie…. This was the best Latin restaurant I’ve been to. Their whole theme is “fire” - hence Ember: they tie fire into everything from cocktails to side dishes, main plates & desserts! We really enjoyed the cocktails: in lieu of sleep (espresso martini), paper wisdom & midnight of technicolor. The sides we chose were to die for- morita shrimp & the crispy beef fat potato’s and our main dishes were the filet mignon & the josper 1/2 chicken and we finished with the churros and the suspiro(the most fire inspired dessert!) I highly recommend sitting at the chefs counter - you can have the chance to meet chef Adam. Along with having our wonderful waiter- Collin! He was so thoughtful with his service and making sure we had the top Choices off the menu. We owe our amazing experience to Collin, he catered the best course to our tasting! Cheers! Come here

5 /5 Alexis Tolbert: I had the most perfect birthday dinner here a few months ago and my guests and I are STILL reminiscing about it so I had to come to write a review. There’s nothing negative to say about this place. The service was amazing, from the hosts to the servers. The ambience was dark and sexy. Their menu was perfect for sharing and everything we ordered blew the party away. We ordered several appetizers, with the Morita Shrimp and Crab Cake being standouts even months later, the Tomahawk, which I believe was a special at the time, the whole fish, and a couple of veggie sides. We also ordered a couple rounds of drink. At the end they brought me a surprise dessert which were the churros and those were also amazing. All in all, we had a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back!

5 /5 Christines Liu: Went here for Sunday brunch with two friends, loved it! The vibe was super chill, perfect for a date or a small group. We got the Caviar Bites (on tortilla) and Burrata Bread to start, both delicious. For mains, we had the Steak & Eggs (that hot sauce was so good), Chorizo Hash, and Josper Chicken Salad (the chili lime kick was perfect). Everything was flavorful with a Latin twist. My friends, who had also came here for dinner, said their brunch is definitely better than dinner! Would definitely go back for brunch!

4 /5 BullionTooth: Every single dish here was unique in its own way and had very sophisticated flavor profiles that fancy food tends to bring. This was one of the priciest restaurants I’ve visited, and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered a Pisco Spritz as my drink to start, which wasn’t too sweet and had the right amount of citrus. For appetizers, the tartare was really good- the guac complemented the tuna very well. Also, the mussels were phenomenal. Standout main courses included the chicken- just wonderful. You gotta get the broccolini too. The fish was also very tasty. Service was great, and the dimmer lighting in the restaurant is nice and calming. My one disclaimer would be to not come here super hungry, because the food is quite light and the portions aren’t huge, but you probably already knew that coming into such a high end restaurant.

5 /5 Veronica Moreno: I could rave about this place over and over. I came here with a gf for my bday and I was so happy with everything! I love my steaks super rare and they did it perfect. Everything from the coyote squash and sauces with our dishes are to be bragged about. The Salad was quite large and shareable. The fried plantains became our dessert bc we over ordered. Lol I cant wait to go back ❤️
