Embers

Awful. Off wine. Rude service. Raw chicken. When I complained I got bad attitude from the staff. Don’t bother. This place used to be great and I now wouldn’t even let my dogs eat here.

Greeted by friendly staff and told our friends are already seated. warm bread & butter and a bottle of water is placed on the table. Everyone’s steaks were perfect, I had the beef ribs which just melted in my mouth and the BBQ chutney sauce was perfect.
The staff are fantastic and are able to answer any questions and give honest recommendations based on your taste be it for the choice of steak or wine.
It’s not often you can walk out of a restaurant and 10 out of 10 people are totally satisfied.
Highly recommend Embers for a steak dinner.

After having this restaurant recommended to us by a friend, we decided to check it out. My first impression is that it was a nice place that unless you know where to go, you could walk straight past it, so we are trying to tell everyone we know about it because we think it is just awesome.
As soon as you are seated (we made a reservation, but we aren’t sure if you can just walk in and grab a table), you are given a bottle of water and some nice bread & butter. We didn’t try any of the entrée’s, but my fiancé had a steak and I had the slow cooked ½ rack of marinated BBQ Pork Ribs, and I must say it was the best ribs I have ever eaten. Both the ribs and the steak came with a lovely smooth meaty tasting bbq sauce, and chips (I believe you can select mash if you don’t want chips).
We followed this by trying the hot chocolate (which is really good, the only time I have ever bought hot chocolate that I didn’t burn my mouth on), and my fiancé had the flourless chocolate cake, I had the sticky date pudding. Both came with a scoop of vanilla icecream. All in all, it was a very nice place, with awesome food, and the staff attend to you as soon as you glance their way or just look at them, and are more than willing to please their customers. As the other review mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it is well worth it.
For 2 softdrinks, 2 mains, 2 desserts, and 2 hot chocolates, it cost us around $ 124. If you would like a wine recommendation to go with the food you would like to order, the staff can recommend one for you.
It was the best experience we have had in a long time, and we will be returning for sure.

Self-​proclaimed as ‘specialists in beef dining,’ Embers is the upscale Park Road’s version of a steakhouse. While you won’t get a meal for under $ 30 here, you will get amazing steaks and ribs, including their certified black angus steaks. Their steaks are perfect, tender and full of flavour they come about as close to melting in your mouth as a steak can get. Not being a red meat fan, this is rare enthusiasm from me over a steakhouse. The staff are fantastic, really friendly, quick to assist in any way and recommend something from the menu. They also have an amazing wine list sourced from Australia’s leading wineries. So if you want to impress the man in your life, take him to Embers.
