We found two seats at the bar which was lucky as the bar seats were all taken except for those two. Bartender Chris helped us get settled in with our beverages menus and place settings.

I was in town on business and headed to Embers for dinner. Although the restaurant was fairly busy, the wine bar was mostly empty so I sat there.

Food and service were very good. Waiters were attentive but not intrusive. Best to make a reservation or you may not get in (even on a week night).

Best restaurant in Gainesville. The service was great! The server was very attentive. The food was outstanding. My husband and I desired great food and a romantic atmosphere. Embers did not disappoint us at all. The inside seating is very nice, and the courtyard dining is very romantic at night. Tonight we had the best steak ever, cooked to perfection... More
