holy shit this place is fantastic. Highly recommend the Buffalo rib empanadas, so much flavor. Probably the best thing that's ever hit my taste buds. And people say they don't get full here. I think it's the perfect amount of food. I didn't get desert because I'm full.. so.

Ok. I thought really hard and long about this rating and I decided on a 4 BUT only because it’s a truly unique experience and the food it fabulous but I left hungry. 😬

Let’s dig deep: The snapper was cooked perfectly. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The salad I had was lovely but the “sides”felt more as an art piece. My cocktail Sexy lady was out of this world. Decided not to have dessert.

I had very interesting experience at this restaurant Ember. I will start with pros.

Food on the plate looked like art work! Exquisite , elegant, and very appealing to an eye. Atmosphere was cozy, plus our table had a beautiful outside view. Servers were polite and did their job great.

Now CONS:

what made me put 3 stars and not more is how food tasted. We tried six different dishes, and all of them were hit or miss. We didn’t like any of our appatizers , they were arugula salad, buffalo empanadas , pheasant , and hamachi. Some appetizers didn’t have flavor at all, some sauces tasted weird, and some elements were just ok. For our entrees we had wagyu steak and red snapper. We asked for medium rare steak and got medium. The flavor though was pretty good but besides steak itself sides and sauces were not good at all. My snapper , tasted good . Sides for me again were a fail. On my dish there were lots of different sauces and different elements but from everything only snapper and piece of cauliflower what tasted good. I have very mixed feelings about this place. Had an exciting experience for sure, of trying new dishes which looked amazing , but on the other hand they tasted not so good. Also we had to wait for food for sooooo long. Which was upsetting. Personally, I wouldn’t go there again, but for the new exciting experience maybe you can try this place.

The food is beyond fantastic. Very small portions but an incredible alchemy of tastes and culinary presentation.

Chuck, our waiter, was fantastic. An absolute expert in all the ingredients and styles of preparation. He also kept us in stitches.

Chase was also helping to make the entire evening fantastic

AMAZING!! Chase provided the best service while we were dining. He was attentive without being over bearing. They let me adjust my reservation last minute when I wanted to come earlier. The food was incredible. It’s obvious a lot of thought goes into the dishes they serve. The food is complex, delicious, yet approachable. The menu is creative and adventurous without being bizarre. It’s an upscale dining experience with the pressure of dressing to a code and not pretentious at all. The restaurant feels cozy and relaxed, and at least when I was there the other patrons were a delight to eat by as everyone was friendly and clearly there to enjoy the evening. Last but not least the pricing is insanely good for what you’re getting! Our 3 course meal was $70 per person and every course was generously portioned, the ingredients were high quality, and if you can’t finish your meal they will box the rest to go (including dessert). This was one of the event dining experiences I’ve ever had.

Went to Ember in Breckenridge for our anniversary. Great atmosphere for our anniversary- had the window seat. Our server was great. Good recommendations on wine, food and desserts. We did the three course dinner for a fixed price. The appetizers were delicious and very visually appealing. We both had the Wygu steaks that were amazing! Perfectly cooked for us. Best deal on steak in Breck for sure. We paid much more for steak at the Breckenridge Distillery. The steak was excellent at Breck distillery but not as good as these and Breck distillery cost us much more. We were full before dessert arrived so we shared the ice cream and took home the dessert tacos. Both were excellent! Highly recommend Ember restaurant

I came with a great friend who has been here a number of times and suggested this would be a complete dining experience. It was magnificent. The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, tasteful art, and unique menu. What made my visit extra special was Chuck, our waiter. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and felt like family. He knew everything about the menu, was attentive without being too much and had a great sense of humor. He clearly enjoys his work and is a perfect compliment to the varied menu. For the total experience, make sure Chuck is there to serve you.
