Honest, quality food and charming service is what we’ve found during our 8 visits at this new addition to the noe valley scene. Consistently good with their chicken options, starters and yes, some misses with the steak that were promptly corrected with grace. Thanks for having us team!

Absolutely adore this place. There have been 0 misses in the 5-6 times we’ve been here. Everything is so balanced and delicious, and while the menu is quite standard and classic, there is some occasional flair and creativity in the menu. My only complaint is that they discontinued their brunch menu! Please come support this place, the food, service, and ambiance are all amazing.

We had a wonderful experience at bistro ember. This is a real gem. We received a warm welcome from the host. He gave us excellent suggestions regarding menu favorites. Everything was delicious. Although this was our first visit, we felt and were treated as if we were regulars. We were celebrating two special occasions, and we were even treated to a delicious dessert on the house. The wonderful food and the warm welcoming by the staff made this a very special evening.
