We got to enjoy the new menu the day after it was released. Loved the restaurant and staff. Food was wonderful. Embers is a jewel.

We love eating at The Embers in Blowing Rock. Food is always excellent. Great bar and wine selections. The Host, Hostess, and all waitstaff have been wonderful every time. Great bar on the deck as well with small plates! Awesome view over downtown Blowing Rock. Just a little pricey for me to give 5 stars

Not sure if it was a new chef or not, but whoever was cooking dinner needs to find where the seasonings are kept. Never tasted a roast chicken that didn't have even salt and pepper on it. What a tasteless bore. On the plus side, the bartender was great and it was a pleasure to sit at the bar for cocktails and dinner on a cold winter night...brrr.

We came to the Embers to celebrate our engagement. The experience, from begging to end, was great. I called ahead and spoke with Kimberly, who was very helpful reserving the right table - next to the fireplace and Christmas tree. Our server, Ellie, was excellent! She was beyond friendly and provided memorable service. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Last but not least, our meals were delicious. We will be back!

Terrible food and high prices - not a good combination. Several really good restaurants in . This is NOT one of them.

one of our better dining experiences in the Blowing Rock area. Reasonable wine prices when others are charging $60 for plonk. Enjoyable evening
Rhonda
We ate there for the first time and the service was excellent! Our smoked bourbon cocktail was delicious And the food was excellent. We will be back
Bruce
Noise level was our only issue. Seems very loud in there & er were seated pretty far from the bar area where we felt it was the loudest. Our server Alexa was great, food was fantastic!!
Gina
We were not thrilled that the first several restaurants we attempted to get reservations for were booked. We wound up at Embers sort of as a last resort so our expectations were not high. How happy we were with EVERYTHING! The food was remarkable, so much so that we inquired of the chef's training. Our server was personable and helpful and made certain we had all things exactly the way we desired. We had trout, salmon, and 2 orders of the pork chop. All four of us were thrilled and even decided to stay no only for desert but for after dinner drinks, as well. The ambiance was super chill and we would up chatting with other parties dining there as well. We will happily go back again and have already shared our experience with some locals who had not been there yet. Good job!

Overpriced and under serviced (35 minutes to receive an hamburger and some over salted avocado toast). Embers proclaims to be an upscale environment, but it's just a budget hotel eatery. And very noisy, even with only six tables seated. Our server Angela was a pro, though.
Great place to plant yourself for dinner in the parking starved town of Blowing Rock NC. Next time we I'll stay in the hotel as well
Sharon
As guests staying at the MARVELOUs hotel, we enjoyed Dinner one night which was great! Food was delicious and service as always excellent and ambience wonderful. Embers has a super bar— good vibes. Great breakfast on both mornings— wonderful service and delicious breakfast— love The Embers!

We love this relatively new addition to the Blowing Rock dining choices. We take our weekend guests to it all the time! Whipped ricotta with grilled peaches outstanding. We've had Cassady as our server several times and she is wonderful. The bar has a really good feel as well.

Sat at the bar before our reservation and decided to stay there for dinner rather than moving to a table. Shawn was our bartender, drinks were delicious... food was so good! We enjoyed it!
