Embers is a visually appealing restaurant with very good service and a beautiful atmosphere. The food was certainly tasty, but honestly, it didn't blow me away for the price point. It’s an expensive night out, and while everything was fine, I expected a bit more wow factor to match the cost.

I brought my wife to embers for our anniversary and it went far beyond my expectations. They are not a cheap restaurant but you can go in knowing this by their websites menu I was able to get an idea what I would be spending. I bought a New York Strip 14oz prime Steak and it is the best steak I have ever eaten and I did not get a topping for my steak just steak and I was so impressed. I also got a side of Au Gratin potatoes. I got also a bottle of red wine. They were both amazing. For two first courses, two main courses, two sides for main course, a bottle of red wine and even dessert. We spent $330. You truly could go cheaper with this place because we weren’t able to finish but less than half of our main course side and we took home our dessert because we were so dang full we could barely walk. You could do without the main course side or without the first course which were only $15 each. But they are worth the price even my salad was amazing extremely fresh. The atmosphere of this restaurant is great not even close to over crowded you call to reserve if you have to wait a couple minutes the have very nice couches with a fire place to to relax in. We waited less than 5 minutes and we arrived 25 minutes early to our reservation. Amazing restaurant. If you want to wow the wife or husband this is the place to go.

I’ve been a loyal patron of this restaurant, having dined here at least five times over the past 3 months. My first visit left me thoroughly impressed with both the exceptional service and food quality, which is why I continued to return. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was deeply disappointing and has made me reconsider future visits.
I ordered the King Crab legs and a beef filet—two dishes that should showcase a restaurant of this caliber. Both fell short of expectations. The crab legs were oversalted, served in a surprisingly small portion, and lacked the careful preparation I’d come to expect. The beef filet, while cooked to the correct temperature, was inexplicably dry and tough. I ended up leaving half the steak uneaten.
The problems didn’t end there. I requested my side of potatoes au gratin to be packed to go, but the container wasn’t properly sealed. By the time I arrived home, the cheese and butter had completely leaked out, rendering the dish inedible and requiring me to throw it away.
For a $200 dinner, this experience was unacceptable. What was once a reliable favorite has clearly experienced a decline in quality and attention to detail. Unless significant improvements are made, I won’t be returning.

We came to spend 4th of July weekend in the hotel and decided to give it a try; we had a great dining experience.The vibe is cozy and intimate and the atmosphere is relaxing. From the bread basket to the dessert, everything was exquisite. Our group of 5 have a great time and would definitely visit again when around Lake Charles.

I AM BLOWN AWAY. THIS PLACE HAS EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, BEAUTIFUL atmosphere. Feels like we were back in a Yosemite lodge. Woodsey chic. Pricey, yes, but worth it. A huge advantage over Ruth's chris in Lafayette by a long shot. Our server, a man from Jennings, amazing service.
The old fashioned was perfect and i asked for margino cherries and he added them 😀
THE CRAB CAKE, LAMB LOLLYPOPS, CHOCOLATE molten cake, foigras was top notch! The bread basket and butter, unreal. (I am not a huge foodie or an obese piggy, no offense, just can't fimd anything but over seasoned cajun food in lafayette)
Big, beautiful fireplace . We decided that we would make the drive just for dinner from Breaux Bridge! When living in so California wed drive to Los Angeles for a good meal frim the valley..so 1.5 hr drive for goos food like this, definitely...

This place is phenomenal! I’ve been coming to the Labeurge for years now and I’ve always overlooked this restaurant. We decided to finally come and man is it off the wall.

Service: Server was super nice, was very helpful in ordering our food. When they served our entrees they had the chefs personally come out and describe the food and how it was prepared. Very elegant like. And whoever said in another review that they experienced discrimination as a minority… sorry that happened… but as a minority myself there was ZERO discrimination. Only excellent and quality service. Also zero wait after booking a reservation.

Starter: We got the shrimp cocktail and it had very good sized shrimp with a rich and crisp flavor. Nothing crazy but tasty.

Entrees: I got the $115 14 Oz Ribeye Wagyu and it was delicious. The tenderness and flaky seasoning pair great. Crust was perfect. 10/10. Garlic mashed potatoes were also creamy and top notch.

Wife got the $65 12 oz New York strip and it was fantastic. Tasty and tender for a New York strip. Her truffle mac and cheese was also delicious. The truffle paired with the mac was great. Sides were massive as well!

Everything was amazing. Just so you know, the dishes are super big. I was sharing with my husband and we couldn’t finish them, not even room for dessert. Also you need reservations but you can always enjoy the food at the bar lime we did.
