Ember Grill

The appetizers were good, the waitress was very friendly and great. However the steak and eggplant were so salty they were not enjoyable to eat. The salad was very sad, not much to it. Not like the salad at Houston’s or anything of that caliber. The portion of eggplant was the smallest portion I have ever received at a restaurant and it was so salty that I had to scrape the breading and cheese off just to eat the small single slice of eggplant. The spaghetti was the spiciest I have ever had it was inedible and we had to have it remade, then it was delicious. We ordered a ton of food and drinks and were just overall not impressed with the food quality, maybe it was an off night.

While food overall tasted good. The quality of the ingredients was subpar. They adversed a prime hanger steak. While they did nail a medium rare, the texture was more of a select cut.

I was at a birthday celebration. We had reservations and great seats. I loved the atmosphere and decor. The food was excellent, especially the spicy crab lettuce wraps and the crispy skin salmon. The dessert was a great ending. The only disappointment was that they ran out of branzino. Maybe next time?

Nice place for romantic dinner, cozy atmosphere, food was ok, service was not great, but polite, for a single special request - we heard polite way: No! Otherwise, unreasonably high prices for prefixed dinner and cocktails for this area. Wouldn’t go back unless really need to.

I went there with my girlfriend for my birthday and it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Everyone there was pleasant. The whole staff was extremely friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. Caleb was our main host but we also enjoyed the presence of Jacob and Marcus. Val was the best photographer and captured some amazing pictures for us. I’d also like to give a special shout-out to Chef Rose 🌹. By far one of the best places to dine in Delray!

First time at this newish local spot and have to say the service was almost perfect (except for the long wait for dessert for some reason). Management is on top of everything, food excellent, and a pass by the kitchen and at quick glance looked immaculate. We will definitely be back.

Prince the manager at Ember Grill was very attentive and one of the best managers I've met of a restaurant went over and beyond... with excellent service. Great restaurant and staff too. If I could give 10 stars I would. Great place, Wonderful Ambience, Spectacular Views. We all had Beautiful and Excellent Night Thank You so.... Much Prince Manager

What a great dinning experience we had at ember grill that is located at the ray located in pineapple grove. My family and me where super satisfied with the food and service. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

So very sad, Ember is closing after tomorrow. Was there this evening for fabulous food and cocktails.

Really nice, clean weekday breakfast. Started with table family style REALLY fresh fruit bowls (perfectly ripe) and also beautiful. Plenty to serve a dozen people. Standard 2 scrambled eggs and pork sausage was a really big portion but cleanly plated and divided! Perfectly cooked, seasoned and delicious home fries. Great atmosphere as well.

We had a great time at Ember Grill for my birthday. Our waiter was very nice. They had some items marked gluten-free on their menu that actually were nit gluten free (like the lobster pasta), and they actually had some GF pasta and made it for me. It was very good, the serving was large, the sauce had a nice rich flavor and there was a lot of lobster in it. The caviar deviled eggs were rich in flavor and doubled stuffed. It was a lot for an appetizer and worth the 75$ up charge for the caviar. The mocktails are very delicious here alsk. Everything we ordered was to our expectations and more. They have a very nice outdoor space for dining, we sat inside though and it was very nice inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking and street parking is available, and the restaurant is right off the right of the hotel entrance. This is also a very nice area.

I came here for my husbands birthday over the weekend. We booked far in advance and spoke to many different team members regarding the 11 person reservation. When we arrived, our table was ready and in a great spot in the dining room. We were so excited to show our friends our new favorite restaurant. We started with a round with drinks and asked the server if we could split the checks by couples. Total of 5 checks. He said no, only 3 checks. He assured us that it would not be a huge deal when he brought out the check. I was assuming he would group them in some type of order. We put in our drink order and it took over 30 minutes for them to come out. We never complained. I do recommend ordering the new espresso martini! For food, everyone got many appetizers and entrees. The new updated menu was great. I really enjoyed the chicken. Warning, the spaghetti is very spicy which they do not mention. A lot of the party was surprised by this and did not enjoy that part. Once the meal concluded, the server brought out the check. Over 60 items in no order all on one check. Each couple ordered different items so it wouldn't have been fair to split evenly. After 30 minutes of trying to figure out the bill, we finally gave the server our credit card. My husband went and discussed how unhappy he was with the manager. The manager was not apologetic and said "well it's on our website that we can only accept 3 credit cards for large parties." Why would we read the website when we talked to many people on the phone? To add insult to the injury, the manager decided to send over another manager, possibly a GM? The GM came to the table, did not greet us, the first thing he said was "who is in charge of this table?" I responded "I guess my husband since it's his birthday." He continued to repeat the 3 credit card policy. We told him we already paid and didn't need another person to tell us the "rules." The Gm didn't even acknowledge the birthday or the amount of money we spent. It's amazing how you can spend $1,100 and they can't even seem to help us out. How big of a deal would 2 extra credit cards have been? Especially with the long drink waits! By the way, no dessert or candles for his birthday either. I would not recommend coming for a birthday or large group. Great food and drinks but they need to be more customer centric.

Date of Visit: January 2, 2023 Ordered: (App) 1/2 Dozen Oysters - 5/5 - Fresh with good condiments. (App) Yellowfin Tuna Crudo - 4/5 - The black garlic and truffle made for an amazing sauce for the tuna. (App) Sticky Soy Glazed Spare Ribs - 5/5 - Best dish of the night. The meat fell off the bone and had excellent flavor. (Main) Lobster Spaghetti - 5/5 - The tomato sauce had spices that elevated it beyond a normal pomodoro. Lots of lobster. (Main) Berkshire Pork Chop - 4/5 - Very moist and flavorful. (Main) Branzino - 4/5 -The puree was excellent, and the fish was very well seasoned. (Side) Truffle Fries - 5/5 - Strongest truffle flavor I have tasted in fries. Very crisp. (Side) Chargrilled Baby Broccoli - 5/5 - Well charred and crisp (Dessert) Flaming Strawberry Shortcake Baked Alaska - 4/5 - Excellent closer. The two different ice creams inside went very well together. (Dessert) Chocolate cake with Coffee Ice Cream - 5/5 - Very rich and went very well with the ice cream. All in all, the food was excellent. The ambiance was very warm and homey, and the waiter was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend. **They seem to change their menu fairly regularly, so do not expect to find all of the same things you seen reviews when you get there.

This place is amazing.. I had the porterhouse and it was cooked to perfection, it came with the most unique potato pave that we loved. Great atmosphere and priced accordingly. Allie.. hope I spelled that right, she was spectacular and had such a great personality, she made our dinner a wonderful experience. Thank you

Wow! In 2 months this place had totally tanked. Andrew, however, still remains an amazing server. He was my first server here for brunch many months ago and unfortunately tonight my last. First off the Prix Fixe Menu has changed substantially. Less food for much more money. We were here in June and it was awesome and I posted a tip to get here for this special menu. After touting it to my friends I brought 2 other couples in and I was embarrassed. The menu change and price increase was over the top. My husband's steak was cold and then remade "quickly " but by the time he got the 2nd one we were all done. This steak was over cooked (medium rare was how it should have been). He did not care to wait or make the others wait so he refused another try. It was removed from the bill as it should have been. I have heard they got a new chef and all in all I would say they had better figure it out before the finicky seasonal people come. They will not appreciate the substantial price increase with nothing to show for it. I leave very sad tonight.

Great bar scene, amazing food, and service is top shelf. At the rec from the waiter we tried the chicken and steak and there was no better combo. Pleas do not sleep on the Brussels sprouts.

Christina was amazing tonight. She took good care of our group. We tried everything on the menu.

I love a good happy hour. But I really enjoy drinks with a view. Delray's new hottest rooftop checked all the boxes. The EVERGLADE ELIXIR with scardi rum, mini. vanilla simple syrup, lime juice was a perfect happy hour drink! Drinks are half off during happy hour. Love a deal. VEGAN BOLOGNESE rigatoni, impossible beef, follow your heart parmesan, basil crumbs, plum tomatos was really tasty. Impossible to believe it was vegan. THE EMBER WAGYU BURGER* gouda cheese, griddled onions, arugula, secret sauce, challah bun was a good burger to try too. The cauliflower was really flavorful, a little spicy but nothing too intense. The dessert was one of the highlights. The flambé gets me every time. Service and atmosphere were great. Food was a little pricey but pretty good. Also tried: SOUTH OF THE RIO don julia blanco, solemno, hibiscus infused agave, Tine juice, Black salt rim LOVE POTION Ketel one citron vodka, cucumber, strawberry gomme

Came here for dinner tonight because of all the good recommendations people have been telling us about.. we were seated with the nicest waiter named Jordany he was friendly and a great attentive server...we started with drinks, my favorite Tito's dirty martini.. then started off with the happy hour menu, since they were only $7 each.. had oysters, Mac and cheese sticks that were to die for , shrimp cocktail and buffalo cauliflower.. everything on happy hour menu was great.. Then off to our main courses.. We had the lobster and corn ravioli that were omg delish and the wagyu steak with mashed potatoes that was like butter.. The only bad thing is parking around there, we had to use the valet which was $20, very pricey if you ask me.. Our overall experience was very nice and I will definitely be back!

TLDR: Don't valet it's $20. Ask for Allie as your server, Order the Mac n cheese sticks and the strawberry shortcake baked Alaska. Thank me later. Great cocktails and wine! I was happy to see Belle Glos sold by the glass. The service and food was perfect! We ordered the Mac n cheese sticks, Brussels sprouts, steak carpaccio, the burger and baked Alaska dessert. The burger was just ok in my opinion. Not the juicy yummy burger I look for. The Brussels were fabulous. Full of flavor - a little greasy but idc. They're fried duh. Steak carpaccio was good - I didn't love the bread that it was served with taste and quantity but the meat and toppings = flavor were great! Dessert was fab.

Beautiful spot with nice interior details. Dinner experience was really good. Food was great and service was sweet. Had the Hearts of Palm Salad, Wagyu Beef Carpparcio, Octopus, and Branzino. All were delicious. Would definately recommend.

I was a big fan of this menu and was sold by the burger and it did not disappoint. I sat at the bar and the staff did great.

Absolutely terrible service, my order was wrong and items were missing. I asked for pancakes for my kids that never arrived- when I reminded the server an hour later he said they could pack the pancakes to go. I requested to speak to the manager and he never came out. Manager on duty was Ryan. Never had such bad service in delray.

Ember Grill has five star service, five star atmosphere and five star prices but unfortunately it serves two star food. I went to Ember the day it opened and enjoyed it as reflected in my initial review and as such have been back several times. What I like is how inviting the restaurant is and while it's upscale and nicely decorated its not pretentious or stuffy. Not one bit. What I don't like is the extemely limited menu and if a restaurant does not offer many items then everything should be exemplary - especially at the prices charged. However, the last few times I dined here there were some hits and some misses and really too many misses. Yesterday I ordered the Crab appetizer and it seemed steeply priced for a small amount of crab in three lettuce wraps. A good crab dish should rely on its freshness and simplicity but here it was doused with Thousand Island Dressing which completely overwhelmed the crab and this preparation was very amateurish. Eggplant Parm seemed like it was prepared many hours in advance and just heated up. The flavorless sauce was unevenly spread out and the eggplant was the thickest cut I've even seen and making it even worse was that part of the eggplant was hot and part was lukewarm so it seemed like they not only re-heated old eggplant but re-heated it incorrectly and at this price point that is a big problem. Initially I thought the Roasted Organic Chicken might be the best item on the menu because it was served with a nice sauce. The fresh Sweet Corn and Cippollini Onions complimented the chicken and almost made this a winner. Almost, because one part of the chicken was beautifully cooked and the other part was extremely dry and overcooked. A small side of Roasted Baby Carrots was delicious and it was so good that it almost justified the $12 price. Dessert was underwhelming and forgettable. I like Ember Grill and it's great staff and convenient location and comfortable environment keeps me coming back ..... but I wish they would expand the menu and improve the food.

Service and food were both excellent. The chef created wonderful dishes of Peking Duck and Octopus appetizers. The Peking Duck fajitas were perfectly tender with a nice sweet Hoisin sauce and was shareable for three people. The octopus was also perfectly cooked and came with potatoes. At dinner we had the 38 oz porterhouse steak which was huge with enough meat for 4 people. Probably one of the best I ever eat. Melt in your mouth tender steak. It's a bit on the expensive side but the dishes are not your typical restaurant fare. The chef has created an eclectic mix of dishes. You won't be diss appointed.

Menu is not all that enticing and what I choose to as not too exciting. Tuna crudo with truffle flavor was nice firm tuna atop a balsamic glaze that overpowered the delicate chopped mushrooms with truffle oil. The endive and blue cheese salad had a good amount of pungent blue cheese that was well balanced with the sweet fig. The abundance of chopped endive smothered every.thing. Whole endive leaves might be a more fun presentation. The sticky bbq Chinese style ribs were a real disappointment. The presentation is lovely (4 meaty stacked ribs) --but something went with in the cooking. They appeared to have been "velveted" which is a legit Chinese technique that tenderizes meat by adding a starch (cornstarch or tapioca) but the meat had an odd taste. Maybe some more flavor in the marinade was needed. The ribs were not charred (as I would expect from a restaurant that cooks with fire.). My husband loved his perfectly cooked rib eye. So glad the noise issues have been mitigated. It is a beautiful space and the service was excellent.

I love trying new places in Delray, so when I saw this place going up, I couldn't wait for opening. Opted to do brunch here, and that was absolutely the right call. The lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes here were phenomenal. Excellent lemon curd on top, and the ricotta tasted so fresh and creamy. Very filling and a must try. Also got the eggs Benedict which was really good. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was rich and smooth. Will definitely be going again.

It was Friday night and we were out with friends to a new hot trendy restaurant in Pineapple Grove off the beaten path of Atlantic Ave.Embers affiliated with The Ray; hotel to South Florida's class of elite was an eclectic experience for dinner and drinks! Our waiter Marcus was accommodating, affable, and personable! Even the manager wanted to make sure our dining experience would warrant a return! I especially raved over the presentation of a gourmets delight of burger & fries! So in conclusion Embers was a Big Hit! Now on to the rooftop for another spectacular splash!!

Went for Sunday Brunch. It was their first Sunday opened. Food was ok. To be really honest maybe because it was their first brunch. We got there at 1. One of the egg dishes was not available, the food did take a while for what we ordered. I got the three egg breakfast. The breakfast potatoes were really good. Bacon could have been cooked a little longer. You can't beat $20 mix and match drinks. I was disappointed my Bloody Mary didn't have olives as they were out and they were also out of the mango option for mimosas. What made our brunch a great one was Adele she was our server. She was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely go back and want to sit in her section. It wasn't that busy but I'm sure it will get busy. The Ray hotel is beautiful. Rosewater rooftop is gorgeous.

Nice location with a ridiculous, obscene valet fee of $27. Even the Breakers doesn't charge that. We had a couple of people recommend the Embers but we were very disappointed. It is a small menu with no daily fresh catch or other interesting option. Do yourself a favor and go one block over to Roses Daughter which is small but fresh homemade pasta and great local energy which Embers does not have. The bar tender was the best part of the visit

Quite simply, the service was awful. Multiple tables around us were served their main dish before we even got our appetizer and we were seated before them The food was mediocre and lukewarm. Needless to say, this was an awful dining experience!

We had been in several times before and had good experiences. However this time the menu was completely changed and all the crowd pleasers were absent. That crispy duck!, wagyu beef with bone marrow butter, layered baked potato and lobster salad? we were left with a small and boring menu that looked like it was from a Hilton banquet menu. The server told us they changed chefs and were trying to be more Italian? whatever that meant. we had the tuna crudo - fishy with no texture and he gem greek salad- bland no seasoning. entrees were a ny strip- had no color and was over cooked and the branzino which looked like a higher priced mini version since we had it last. service was good and attentive. food needs a lot of help. go to Akira its far better and has attention to detail.

Had a great evening with friends and family. Food and desserts are alway very high quality and delicious. We had a little issue with our steak being cooked at wrong temperature but Kristina the GM immediately made it right and was very attentive. Our waiter Tim was very good and cared for all of our needs. Eggplant and pasta are really good and the baked Alaska is amazing I would high recommend this restaurant.

From the moment I walked in to the time I left it's been nothing but a tornado. If you're looking for a trip to the hospital, please stop by here they'll give you a free ride.

We celebrated my daughter's 13th bd. Loved the decor, the atmosphere, the food and especially the service. Matthew was our server. He was extremely attentive and polite. We took one of each of the five deserts and we loved them all!!

Slowest Kitchen i have ever watched. restaurant was not that busy. i placed a takeout breakfast order and sat and waited for my daughters. fruit bowl, açaí bowl, pancakes with a side of bacon. while i watched the kitchen filled with cooks slowly move to put out orders while chit chatting and not staying on top of their orders. 30 minutes to get my food and no one was in the kitchen making sure orders were complete and expedited. when packing up my order they still had not made my açaí bowl. the poor wait staff were also getting bombarded with upset customers over the time it took to get food and drinks. Upper Management where are you??

Ember Grill is a very solid 4.5 stars, and I wish it hadn't taken me so long to finally make it to this lovely establishment. What kept me away? To be honest, the fact that it was attached to a hotel. While I have been to some good restaurants located in hotels, they typically seem to be over-priced and over-hyped. Ember Grill is by no means inexpensive, but the prices are on par with the restaurants on the Avenue, and the fact that the Ember Grill is part of The Ray Hotel in no way diminishes the quality of the food and/or service. This place is a winner! Our Meal: Four of us shared a bunch of appetizers, as follows - - Large Seafood Tower. This is $150, but let me tell you, they do not skimp! There was plenty of Lobster for the 4 of us to share, and it was cooked perfectly. Lots of oysters which again, were super fresh and delish. Add to that Tuna Tartare and large shrimp, and there was plenty to go around for the four of us. I will most definitely order this again. - Duck Pancakes. Basically, Peking Duck. Duck was well cooked, and hoisin sauce (if you like it) is always good. Another dish I will order again. - Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. The beef itself was delicious. The downfall of this dish (if you consider it a downfall) would be the crostini that came along with it. Three tiny pieces of toasted bread. For such a beautiful dish, it was a shame to feel cheated on the bread. - Flaming Crab Dip. This is served with Naan bread, which made up for the lack of crostini served with the Carpaccio. It's always fun to have a dish set aflame at the table, and this was no different. A lovely presentation. As for the taste, I may be becoming immune to fish dips having been in South Florida for a year and a half now. They all are starting to taste the same. But this was very good. If there is a complaint I sometimes have with fish dips is that it can be dry. This was nice and creamy. Will likely order this again, mostly to impress company because it is such a lovely presentation. This, plus 6 cocktails and 1 glass of wine, plus a generous tip (our server was Connor and he was outstanding!), and the bill came out to just under $500. Listen, Delray Beach is expensive. I have spent just as much eating at other establishments where the food, service, and venue doesn't come close to the Ember Grill. This is a lovely restaurant that I cannot wait to visit again!

We went here for my birthday and I felt like a queen from the moment I stepped in! My friends were all waiting for me at the table. Reordered some drinks - and went for the speciality cocktail - Love potion- (kettle one citron vodka, cucumber, strawberry gomme, cilantro sugar rim) -delicious but very sweet (for my 2nd drink I had a prosecco). Jacob was our waiter and obliged us with taking pictures of our group! TY! We ordered the shellfish tower (large) which had shrimp maine lobster, tuna tartar, oysters, citrus mignonette, cocktail sauce (I had them bring horseradish as well) - it was to die for! Absolutely delicious! We had a variety of foods at the table -Josper oven roasted chicken (peruvian spices, green beans, aji verde sauce); maine lobster and sweet corn ravioli (corn pudding, asparagus, lemon butter and branzion veracruz (stewed tomato, broccolini, olives, capers, salsa verde). And for dessert, we had assorted sorbets and ice creams (from lily's) and they were delicious! They brought a flamed candle with it and everyone sang happy birthday! It was outstanding! I really loved having my birthday here! I highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out. It is part of the Ray Hotel (new hotel in Delray). Make sure to go into the lobby and check out that scene too (they had a saxophonist play) and then they had a fire drill (oh the firemen came to say hello for my birthday! Just kidding. All was ok!). Beautiful place and I can't wait to go back!! If you valet, it is is $20. So you might want to park in a nearby public lot. Just a thought!

This place has such a cute ambiance!!! It's a nice date spot, very cute for a girls night out or solo date!!! The food and service was excellent and they are very attentive and accommodating!!

I had heard great things about this restaurant, and the experience lived up to the hype. We started with the duck pancakes and the flaming crab dip. Both were outstanding. My wife had one of the salads, I had the 18 ounce ribeye, my friend had the Australian wagyu and his wife also had a salad. All 4 dishes were perfect. Outstanding! For the dessert, we had the flaming strawberry baked Alaska which should be outlawed. It was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back.

Food was ok. Service was terrible, took so so long to even get some water. I think the kitchen was just backed up tonight but our server just stopped coming back to check on us.

Jacob was our server and it was the best service experience I have had in Delray. As a local resident, Ember is a destination that I will come back often. The food was amazing and well priced. Bravo!

First time trying Ember Grill. We were pleasantly surprised. We had the salmon over ceasar salad , hamburger and steak. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was absolutely superb. We will return.

The cons ... this place I gave three stars because the waiter didn't offer us any dessert until after she brought us our check. Kind of backwards you would say. For me they don't have a lot of vegan/gluten-free options for people who are on a restricted diet. They need to have a more diverse menu. I didn't like their cauliflower appetizer because it was too salty for my taste. But the pros was, it's a very nice hotel, the restaurant atmosphere is very nice. Very friendly staff overall. Try the flaming crab

Ember Grill exceeded my expectations after reading some reviews and asking a friend who had been to the restaurant prior to my visit. Right away, if you choose to valet ($20) you are greeted by extremely pleasant people who direct you to the restaurant. It was a Saturday night, and the street and everything around it was hopping with people. As soon as the hostess notices your arrival, she quickly opens the door for you. She did this for every person entering the establishment. It was a little touch that did not go unnoticed by me. At the bar, our bartender recommended some signature cocktails. They were delicious. ($16). I saw the pour. It was not skimpy. The glasses they serve the cocktails in are heavy and a cut above what you would get at another establishment. Once my friends arrived, we were immediately shown our table which was a booth. The noise level was loud, but we could hear everything said, so the acoustics are properly doing their job. Food: I had a shrimp cocktail. 4 extra-large shrimps. Very often this simple dish can be feh, but I love shrimp cocktail and theirs was perfect. I then had the roast chicken which was so moist, flavorful, and delicious. So often I find the chicken on menus is just an afterthought for the unadventurous, but I was actually Wowed! The dish described simply on the menu as 'roasted chicken" is an airline breast with a thin, crispy skin layer served on top of green beans paired with a sprite Verde sauce. Just the right amount of cilantro and vinegar. It was the perfect sauce for this dish. My husband had the burger. We love burgers and travel for them, so when he said this might be the best burger he's eaten down in S. Florida, that was a huge statement. It comes with fries but he subbed it out for mashed potatoes which were the thick and rich kind of mashed, not the fluffy, overly creamed variety. They were well seasoned. I could have eaten the entire bowl. My friends had fish; one had salmon and the other a swordfish special. They raved about their dishes but I did not try them. We had truffle fries and trumpet mushrooms to share at the table. We devoured them both. We had the chocolate cake for dessert to share. It was a nice slice served with, I think salted caramel ice cream. I can't be sure because I was deep into a story. But I ate it and wish I had paid more attention to my bites because i really liked what I had tasted. The atmosphere is lively. The decor is sophisticated. The servers were on their game and were knowledgeable. Plenty of families, plenty of 30-somethings, plenty of couples. The younger 20-30-year-old set was upstairs at the rooftop bar, which next time, I will definitely figure into my whole experience because it happens to be a beautiful rooftop bar with lounge chairs, a pool, and food. The vibe up there was rocking, but not wall to wall. People were Saturday-evening dressed if that makes sense. You felt as though you were away. Maybe that's just me showing my age, but it's been a long time since I've clubbed and this rooftop took me back to my younger days, in a good way. I did not feel as though I didn't belong because people were younger there. It had such a happy feel. Lastly, the bill. It was not cheap. In the end, with tip, each couple spent $180, just for the dinner check. Unfortunately, dining out these days is a fortune, even pizzerias can hover around the $100 mark for 2. The key is, I always ask myself, "are you pissed that you spent the money when you get in the car to go home"? Not in the slightest! We loved it. Every last bit and would go back in a New York minute.

Firstly I want to highlight the amazing hospitality that Ben gave us! We felt so welcomed when we walked in. The interior of this place is absolutely stunning, very mid-century modern. We got drinks at the Rooftop and headed down here for dinner so we weren't super hungry. My favorite thing to get here is the Heart of Palm salad with chicken. It's so light and refreshing! I have not had a salad like this anywhere else.

Had a great steak dinner at @embergrilldelray at a perfect table for my group of 8. We loved the appetizers and the highlights were the Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese sticks. Salads were well portioned and steak was cooked perfectly served with a delicious steak sauce. #delray #foodie #florida #beach #rayhotel #steakhouse #noms #foodblog #blogging #nyccarbs

Food was good, service was excellent. The meatballs were a great appetizer and the fish was excellent

Our table of seven went this weekend to Ember Grill. Our server was amazing, but the menu was very limited, and very different than any menu we can find online. Two of us ordered steak. When he asked for Medium-well he was told that they don't do that, and to ask for medium and they would put it back on if needed. It came out purple and still cool inside so he sent it back. I asked for mine medium and the same thing happened, only I sent it back THREE TIMES and it was still raw inside. I finally ate around the edges after everyone else at the table was done with their meals. My sister ordered the arugula salad, but there was no arugula only frisée, so when she asked for lettuce to add to the salad, they brought some out and there was a SNAIL on the top leaf, right there. What we did eat was delicious, but the entire experience was a nightmare. I have never sent back food and had to send it back 3 times and to have it still raw inside is ridiculous.

From the customer service, to the ambiance to the food everything was superb! Go here for brunch or lunch you definitely won't be disappointed. I usually take pictures but when they brought our food out it looked so delicious I immediately started eating. We had the mango mimosas those were okay if you like brut. They were bottomless for $20 which was good. We also had the waygu burger with fries, the raspberry French toast, and the egg Benedict. Everything was cooked to perfection and deliciousness in EVERY bite. Like I said go here it's worth it! Plus it's super cute and nicely decorated inside and outside. Great for pictures. The servers and hosts were all so polite and had an amazing and welcoming attitude. Keep up the great work!

Second time here and the food was just as delicious as the first. They have hired new staff and I understand good help is hard to find. The male bartender with the red beard and tattoos was just plain rude. We asked a couple questions about the menu which he shrugged off and when my wife asked a few simple questions he said "ok karen" my wife's name is not Karen. I asked for a double G&T to which he replied "double the tip." Completely rude and unprofessional.

It was a lovely rainy Friday nite to visit Ember Grill at the Ray Hotel in Delray Beach. The setting was quite quintessential for the rainy eve surrounded by lots of windows, perfect lighting and amazing landscaping. The tapas were tasty and staff very friendly.

I really enjoy trying new restaurants in this one did not fail to impress me the food was delicious and The ambience was also very well done !!!very loud acoustics unfortunately it is loud and lots of young people I would say the average age is under 50 I had the brussels sprouts and they tasted just like potato chips outstanding best I've ever had tomato bisque soup was very good also had a lobster salad for my main course which was adequate and delicious the other people that were with me had hamburgers which was delicious it came with french fries and the chicken they said it was the best chicken they make it on a special oven called a Jasper oven very interesting !large portions cost is Moderat too expensive parking valet $15. but the topping of the cake of course is the baked Alaska which was had a outstanding presentation the waiter Caleb or charles ( not sure of name ) was an very good waiter he took time to explain any questions we ask looking forward to coming back again to try some of the other food choices this is a hot new place in town so make sure you have reservations

My girlfriend and I have been waiting to try this place since it opened. The food was outstanding. It was somewhat hard to find the entrance due to construction but once we did we were amazed by the interior design. The guy who sat us said the food tastes just as good as the place looked, and he was right. (Minus the tater tots, I wouldn't recommend them at all, stick with fries) I would recommend going a little earlier due to the noise level. I don't mind noise at all but the open concept design made it really hard to have a conversation or even hear the waiter. We had a booth which was very nice and a little more secluded than the other tables. The waiters were extremely attentive and kind. I noticed one waiter refolding the napkins of another table when they left to use the restroom which was a plus. Overall the food was great and it is a great date night location.

I've been waiting for the Ray to open! I came here today with two of my girlfriends and I loved everything about it. The decor is beautiful, the food is amazing (shout out Mac and cheese sticks & NY strip) and the attentive service made my night wonderful. Olivia was our server. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave attention to detail. I can't wait to come back to try their brunch.

If I could rate this 6 stars, I would. WOW is all I have to say! From the second we walked in, we were treated with top notch service. Connor went above and beyond for the table and was such a delight to dine with. The food was as great as he was! We will be back, asking for Connor of course!

Started off with the Wagyu beef carpaccio which was amazing so tender and delicious, we both got the 14oz Wagyu ny strip steak and let's just say it was worth every penny the steak was juicy and so much flavor and cooked perfectly, also got the asparagus which was yummy and the truffle fries with the garlic aioli best I have ever had

Possibly the worst birthday dining experience I've ever been apart of. Prices were higher than chops/meat market and the quality was closer to chilis. The deviled eggs were the worst I've ever had, tenderloin was dry and overcooked, apps and sides came out cold, and Cesar salad came out with brown edges on the lettuce. No one in our party seemed happy with the food. Service was terrible even when the restaurant was pretty much empty, had two waiters blatantly ignore us when we tried to call them over (they heard, others in restaurant saw and commented as well). After spending over $1300 you'd think they could split a check but the manager came over and only let us split it 3 ways, stupid "policy". It would have taken 2 min to ring up checks per each couple, 5 total but instead they insisted on 3, kind of a slap in the face. Remember, the restaurant was almost empty, I realize now that this is for a reason, this place sucks. Since we were a large party, gratuity was included so NONE of the staff put forth any kind of effort. The apathy ruined a special night. Reading the reviews, it seems like this is just the status quo for large parties. Don't eat here and definitely don't celebrate any kind of special occasion in this restaurant. There's 100 restaurants that are way better just down the street.
