Embers in Boca Park
(Revision, June 2012)
After two more happy hours and a nice dinner there with different groups of friends, I'd like to add to my previous review:
1. Glad to see that its happy hours are now 4-7 (instead of 5-7); 10-closing; and the patio is opened up for seating earlier now, too!
- This patio by the beautiful fountain is the most attractive setting for happy hour and dinner! We love it!
- 5 STARS for HH.
2. Its dinner menu offers quite large selections. The one time we had dinner, we had grilled seabass; grilled salmon; seared scallops (special that evening); all delicious! The price is comparable to that of Roy's.The serving staff was all friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed ourselves there.
- 4 STARS for dinner.

PREVIOUS REVIEW
Ember Bar and Grill, Boca Park
It is another great sports Bar for Happy Hour with great valued drinks and barfood in a comfortable ambience!
- It has a very inviting patio seating area right next to the beautiful water fountain; a spacious, comfortable bar counter; good selections of tasty goodies on the happy hour menu, not to mention its friendly, attractive, attentive serving staff and barkeep! The bar counter space is so wide/deep, it's comfortable to eat dinner there!
I went there three times with different friends for Happy Hours, and we all enjoyed ourselves there every time. We love their delicious garlic hummas with pita ($5), sliders (tritip or BBQ; $6 each; 2 per order), Chicken Skewers ($6, 2/order). They have expanded their small plate menu for HH as well. Their relatively mellow, dark beer from Oregon ($3) is my favorite among other selections. Wine is $4 per glass, not bad! Yes, Ember has now become another local favorit of mine for Happy Hours!
- Watch out, Gordon Biersch and Kona Grill!
