Came in from a long drive on a Thursday in the spring. Was getting late and we'd already struck out trying to order pickup at a couple places. But Ember picked up and was ready to help. Got a white pizza, scampi, and some boneless buff. All great and the house blue cheese was terrific with the wings. Real elevated stuff.On the phone they were great about the pickup, made us feel like we could get pulled over but the food would still be there waiting for us. Warm greeting from the manager and a pint from the bar really took the edge off. Watched a few pitches of the Sox game and I was off with a smile. Thanks ?

The atmosphere is the best on all of cape cod and so is the pizza but the staff can be unkind and the wait is long. If you go get a reservation. Also this place is not classic dinning it's more of a party spot.

In the past we have had some memorable meals at Ember but last night was a disappointment!! Boo. The salads were lackluster, too much dressing, the chicken was dry and overcooked, so little love!! Why? The wings were tasty but greasy and not crispy. Boo 2. Then the pizza: the fig and cheese pizza was thinner and drier than the wafer in church. Sad. Used to be so good!!! The Margarita Pizza was a soggy, thin crust with lost slices of tomatoes sitting on top. The cheese was also seemingly divorced from the crust. Like all the ingredients had a fight when they left the kitchen and they weren't talking to each other. The service was friendly but distant. My Chardonnay, in which I should have been able to drown my sorrows over tourist trap food, was not even cold. It was meh. At least the glass was nice. So was the fire outside. But you can't eat either of those.

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own nationwide business clients, for travel and activity inspiration! I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare)I struggled a little on the review for this one. Mostly because the ambience is 5 stars! They have a gorgeous patio, large fire pit with ample seating and the main dining room has lots of light and a cathedral ceiling. Beautiful. Lots of parking, too. If your goal is mostly to hang out, this is your place.However, this is a restaurant and I feel that food quality and prices come first. Here’s where I was less than thrilled. To start, I had a kale salad. It was absolutely awesome and I should have stopped there. My meal was a BBQ chicken pizza and it was only ok; LOADED with cheese to the point of not having much taste, little chicken, no BBQ flavor and soggy caramelized onions. My hubby had a burger that just looked a greasy mess. Our kid had a pepperoni pizza that looked far better than our meals. It was thin crust and crispy. Only one of us ordered a lemonade, the rest was water, and no dessert, and we still paid $110 with tip.We came off season so the place was considerably quiet. Service was very excellent.In terms of demographics, I did find this place to be inviting to everyone. Kids will do fine here, as well as younger and older adults. Easy to move around if you have extra mobility needs. There’s also a gender neutral and accessible rest room.If you’re a retired LGBTQ couple, you’ll do well here. Just get to know the menu better than I did. One major perk: they offer gluten free pizza crust, and it did not disappoint!Overall, a modern place that would have been awesome in warmer months so we could enjoy the huge outdoor space.

Overpriced in my opinion. You be the judge. Draft beer for 13$, paper thin mini cheese pizza 18$. A 2.80$ merchant processing fee? Pizza was okay. I’ve been before multiple time and it was better (in summer).

Previously one of our favorite spots in the area, the food and service has totally plummeted. Today I ordered a pizza with portobello mushrooms and caramelized (2 toppings total) and the host confirmed and repeated back my order twice on the phone. When I went to pick it up it was totally incorrect; wrong sauce and missing the mushrooms. I asked if they could remake it she said it would take 5 minutes. 13 minutes later the new pizza came out and it was the same thing, missing the mushroom, tons of caramelized mushrooms and as a bonus surprise TONS of crushed garlic (never part of the order). The manager told me just to have the pizza I had one bite and it tasted like I was chewing on garlic so I couldn’t eat it. We’ve always enjoyed coming here and love their patio, but the service is progressively worst every time we’ve come in over the past year.

Exploitation of residents and guests to Cape Cod. $23 for a “large” pizza that was so small it would feed two people only. Shameful and it wasn’t very good either. hostess on the phone said to me this will feed 17 to 18 slices!” HaDon’t waste your time at Ember!

$23 for a large (tiny!) pizza Not very good also and a true exploitation of cape cod residents and guests Shameful ! Don’t bother!
Very disappointed after returning after two years.Waitress was apathetic and just barely present.Pizza was not nearly as good while the chicken tenders had zero coal flavor and I feel were frozen prior to cooking. There was no heat from the Buffalo sauce.Quality has definitely been compromised.Another waitress blocked me from returning to my table while on her phone.I said "excuse me" but she had no comment.Manager doesn't seem to want to express appreciation to customers until you leave.Handles on bathroom faucet are very loose.Ceiling grates are leaking air so you see dirt.Look up.Lots of small details and basics could be easily fixed if somebody cared.

I have got pizza from Ember before and it’s been good. My favorite is fig and prosciutto. A little different I admit but usually very good.Recently however, not so much.Last one had dried figs instead of fresh and there was little to no prosciutto. It used to be in abundance but now hardly any. For $20 for a small you shouldn’t have to hunt for it.I’ll have to think if I will return

The only plus was my pizza was delicious, which unfortunately did not make up for the incredibly horrible service. Poor girl might want to either get retrained or look for another line of work. I was informed that they had run out of silverware and would it be okay if I was given plastic ware to eat my salad. Did I have any choice?? Meanwhile while eating I witnessed 4 tables sat after us given silverware..... I truly understand they were slammed with a wedding party but no excuses, especially with no apologies given. Then had to go search to find out where my husbands beer was and to ask for more water. As well the server I inquired with was terribly rude. Seriously have these people never eaten out before? Luckily we are just visiting the Cape so no chance of going back again.

Me and my friends ate dinner at Ember I was so excited to go for the first time but after ordering the Lasagna I ended up throwing up all night it was loaded with grease and was hard and rather dry. My friends ordered chicken wings and tasted like sawdust. I would not recommend going here you will be sorry. The waitress was was not attentive. We were sitting outside on the patio and I could see into the kitchen noticing a kitchen staff employee itching his head with his hands and then handling food fricken gross!! DO NOT EAT HERE YOU WILL WAIST YOUR MONEY!
