“I enjoyed Ember & Rye on this occasion and under its former name “Argyle.” Each time the food was outstanding and the staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and wines, and created an experience that made me want to return. The wedge salad, brocolini, and boneless ribeye, cannot be criticized.“

“Today is Wednesday 8-28-24. My wife (Denise ) ,and I decided to try this place. I had a good feeling when I saw a worker cleaning the 2 front glass doors ( inside and out) right before they opened up. First impressions count, and I like clean glass doors free of handprints and dirt.
Inside was clean, and we'll kept. Place looks nice and great designs and decor. Server, I forgot her name, she was very nice and helpful . Food presentation was very nicely done. Food was Deelicious! Female server asked how hot we like our food, a 1 being mild ,to a 5 being super hot, to know what sauces we needed. I had a hot tea, my usual, and I dislike teabags from a Chinese restaurant, but I'll take it, but no tea bags here.
no tea bags here, the real deal, Chin's had the good stuff, and by that I mean the tea grinding with All the tea and herbal flower looking stuff in a metal infusion container in the hot water. Was in a heavy metal fancy tea pot, nice ?. Great atmosphere. Deelicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.“

“Sunday Brunch With Friends - This is the perfect location, nice, clean, fun place with a beautiful view of the ocean! Free parking in the garage behind the restaurant. The main reason we Loved this place and will be back, they have such goooood food and the Breakfast Shots!! You must try the Breakfast shots! Everything we ate was incredible. The stuffed avocado with crab was especially delicious. That is not what I ordered because I am not a big seafood person but I tried my friends and it was incredible. I would order for myself next time. I ordered and loved the Huevos Rancheros, our friends had the crab Benedict and loved it. We had such a great time and we can't wait to visit again! Cheers Dinis team, well done!“

“Pleasantly surprised. There are so many italian places close by. But cicciottis was above expectations. The pasta, gnocchi and pizza was so good. There was no one in the restaurant so we were confused it was even open. But the bartender was doing double duties as bartender and server and was very nice. We were so happy with the quality of the food. There's a few other Italian spots within a quarter mile and they are not nearly as tasty as this was. Bravo.“

“The food is delicious.

The service is excellent.

The customers are terrible, aside for myself, and a handful of others.

Please be careful of the entitled bressi ranch customers who cannot understand personal space, nor how to practice basic bathroom etiquette.

The people who work there are so kind and helpful, and, do their jobs quite well.

Because the food is delicious, I would recommend only getting takeout, because there is no way for the awesome people who work there to be able to provide proper care for their 80% selfish customers.“

“Two very traditional but different entrees.

Our meatloaf a d potatoes was excellent. Great flavor, we were disappointed they could not make the meal gluten-free, there is no reason to add a wheat product to bind the meat. The veggies were fresh and cooked to perfection

Our shrimp meal was overcooked and disappointing. Yes, the flavor was great, but the actual shrimp were TOUGH, check out that curl. Thankfully the heavy-poured drinks made up for the shrimp.“
