I will never understand why mediocre chain restaurants are packed when they share a proximity to quality restaurants like Embers. I've visited Embers twice. On the first it was for dinner at the behest of a friend who lives locally. My friend's request wasn't just for the food (which is excellent), but because of the drink selection. It's easy in the greater Las Veegas area to find a place that does cocktails; it's hard to find a place that does them right. My gauge for expertise? Can they do a Lion's Tail and a Blood in the Sand. The fact that Embers can sets them apart. Now add a versatile menu, courteous staff, and bacon wrapped dates and Embers becomes one of my favorite restaurants in Summerlin.
