Ember − Open Fire Cooking

Starting off the staff was amazing, very attentive, genuinely friendly and competent regarding the selection recommendations of drinks. The service was spotless and we felt very welcome. The location is special and the atmosphere was nice, especially with the sun going down. The food was good overall, especially the variety of starters and the lamb for the main course. Most of the dishes are cooked using the open fire. However the courses did not tell a consistent story and were not well coordinated. As a result, value for money was lacking a bit. However, we could have overlooked that if we had been able to enjoy a pleasant evening, which unfortunately was not the case. Sitting right next to us, there was a group of Americans who were very loud and obnoxious, showing no awareness that other guests were also sitting at the long communal table, which is part of the concept. It felt like this group wasn't even having a conversation with each other but was instead performing, with each person trying to be louder than the previous speaker. This was very unfortunate and ruined the evening for us and, likely, for several other guests as well, which made eye contact several times but this group couldn’t read the room whatsoever, being the stereotype of ignorance. This situation isn’t the fault of the team, however the concept of having one long table creates this risk.

Enjoyable dinner experience at ember The location is great: the view, the atmosphere, the light. The service is very professional and friendly. They take care of everything. The menu is seasonal (tomatoes, herbs, fish, ice, strawberry), in 4 courses and optional adds on. I missed the connection between the first dish and desserts with the rest. I would have liked to have tasted the fire cooking on all ingredients (the ice for example, for the desert) to have a constant experience from beginning to end. Great surprise was the entire fish cooked on fire, to cut yourself. It was refreshing to go away from the fancy restaurant manners and share the dish.

Had my birthday party here with 35 guests and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was delicious, the service kind and attentive and flexible and the ambience and music was just spot on. We loved it. Thank you

Seasonal 4 course menu (fish, summer fruits, tomatoes) with optional add-ons - can highly recommend the sweetbreads! We really enjoyed the family-style of sharing an entire fish between us, and the tomatoes were really the star of the show - fresh and a little bit confit in the smoke. The ice cream dessert, although fun lacked the connection to the name but overall we had a great time and the atmosphere was really special.

Ember is a very special restaurant with very friendly staff and great wine, it was an amazing experience for anyone that can enjoy a family style dinner setting. We went for my birthday and it was really an unforgettable and special night. Thank you 🫶🏽✨

Ember is a top tier dining location with the best hosts you could possibly imagine. Food is so on point, just as the location itself as it sits on top of a Neukölln building offering a stunning view over Berlin. Enjoy a cold drink on their terrace while their chefs prepare your delicious food right next to you.

A tad overpriced for what it is. Service a bit arrogant to begin with but got better throughout the evening. Its clearly aimed at hype searching tourists, didn’t feel very welcome as a local so will not give it another try. Rooftop location is awesome and the food is yummy.

Ember breaks down the structures of fine dining and takes it to a new, extraordinarily innovative level. The focus is on the guest - Ember creates through the absolutely unique locations, the honest, insanely delicious food, the matching wines and the positive charisma of the team, an experience that you will never forget. Would highly recommend.
