| - *** Review is for Restaurant Week August 2014 Menu ***
I decided to come here after putting it off for no reason at all for so long. Maybe because it's close to where I live, I always think I can go anytime and never do. As it turned out, we had too much food but that's always a good thing if the food is good.
I ordered the hamachi sashimi for the first course and my wife ordered the flatbread. My sashimi was good, flavored with a garlic ponzu sauce and Serrano chili rounds. My wife's flatbread consisted of a mushroom, spinach, and parmesan topping. It was quite large and could have been split for two very easily.
For the main course, I went with the grilled miso salmon and jasmine rice, bok choy, edamame, and red pepper. The salmon was grilled perfectly and was sitting on a mound of rice with the vegetables. My wife got the wild mushroom risotto with parmesan. It was very good, too, and there was so much, we got a to go box for dinner later this week.
For dessert, she had the vanilla crème brûlée and I got the warm bread pudding. My bread pudding was very good. It was a strawberry-rhubarb bread pudding and came with some vanilla ice cream. I wasn't allowed to taste the crème brûlée as someone was hogging it all to herself. She said it was good!
Service was very good with our server bringing someone with her to learn how things work at Embers.
Very nice Restaurant Week choice.
