    Food was great up on the terrace and a nice place to watch the band from. We would come back here again . Why not five stars ? My water went empty for a bit while my husbands second old fashioned was attended to promptly . I get it. Restaurants don't make money off of water. Shrug . Not gonna lose my mind over it.

    First time this restaurant in the new Eastport area of the villages. All I can say is well. Our meal was absolutely delicious. Service was wonderful. Find dining at its best. Everyone in our table had a different cut of meat. They were all melted in your mouth delicious. I love when you go out to eat and everything isn't rushed upon you perfectly timed from appetizer to dessert. Can't wait to come back again.

    I so wanted this review to have more stars however it is not to be. I was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate Christmas Eve and didnt want to drive to Orlando and with all the hype for this newly upscale local restaurant I made reservations. Very easy to navigate on their website. Beautiful decor and was seated quickly in a half booth with view of the outside area of the restaurant and this is where things go awry. It took aproximately 10 minutes for any server to greet us and let us know they would be with us shortly or order drinks. The assistant waiter Hannah came by ad filled our water glasses then our server Chase finally came to the table. Either he did not want to be working on Christmans Eve or he has the personallty of a wet noodle. A tray of meat is presented to each table for review of the cuts of meat available and complimentary fresh hot bread basket with butter is served. We ordered the Surf & Turf and the Filet & Shrimp Fondue. - Surf & Turf - while the wagyu ribeye was cooked to medium rare it had a char taste to it which ruined the flavor of the wagyu, the lobster was not buttery but overcooked and rubbery, the baked potato was barely warm could not even melt the butter or cheese on top and the asparagus also had a char taste - total disappointment in this entree and yes I did bring this up to managment but their only solution was to remake the entire dish, who needs 2 of an already ruined dinner. - Fiet & Shrimp Fondue was cooked was cooked perfectly and only complaint was the baked potato again barely warm - - Pseudo Hugo - this drink is non alcoholic and not sweet at all, very prominent lime & mint flavor, this drink was not for me even after I added simple syrup and ordered a Shirly Temple which was very weak in grenadine flavor and no Cherries in the drink at all. Not sure if it was the restaurant being newly opened or Christmas Eve but it was not a great experience and maybe willing to try again in a few months when the restaurant has been open longer in the mean time I will go back to FMK's other higher end restaurant Chop House.

    Celebrated our grandparents 90th and 95th birthdays at the newest FMK location in Eastport! Prime and Ember is now open serving delicious steaks, seafood & cocktails! We had exceptional service and the restaurant is absolutely stunning with very clean bathrooms. I would recommend substituting a different side for the rice as it was very bland and hard.

    NY strip with sides

    Ambiance is 5, beautiful restaurant Service is 3.5, they brought out our dinner entree while we were still eating our salads, waiter apologized and said he dropped the food order too quickly Food is 3, so so disappointing. For this price point and to be a signature restaurant I truly expect a higher quality of food. My husband ordered 8 ounce filet mignon with shrimp and scallops and the portion was poor , the shrimp were 2 shrimp and so so small and the scallops were about the size of a dime and quarter respectfully.... Not quality at all. I ordered NY strip and that was excellent. The sides are not served family style and come on your plate as a regular side dish, the carrots, asparagus and mushrooms were so so basic.... I could have made a better meal at home. The Baked Potato was stellar ! BIG and perfectly cooked. I love fine dining and this IS NOT that type of food experience even when the bill for 2 people is $250 plus tip, $300 Prime&Ember Definitely missed the mark. I have dined twice in dining room and will NOT do this again BUT I will try The Terrace for rooftop drinks and lite bites as I have not done The Terrace yet. I really wish Prime& Ember can do better , we need a high end dining experience in TV

    We had an excellent dinner at the newest FMK restaurant in The Villages--Prime & Ember in Eastport. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service was pleasant and efficient. Our Chardonnay was beautifully chilled and the bread warm and tasty. My crab-topped grouper was melt-in-your mouth good as were my carrots and loaded baked potato. My hubby loved his shrimp pappardelle. I only wish we'd had time for dessert! Next time. I hope this restaurant can keep up their excellent standards.

    We were excited to try out this new restaurant. I suggest reservation since this is a hotspot right now Arrived about 15 minutes early and the hostess informed me that tonight was the lucky night that the rooftop called "The Terrace" opened..... and she pointed me in the direction of the elevator and said I could wait there for the rest of my party and check it out. She would send a text when the table was ready. Beautiful establishment, nice elevator, gorgeous rooftop lounge. There was a hostess at the elevator that told me to go outside and sit anywhere open so I went out the doors and sat down. Two different waitresses came by and provided me with a menu for the rooftop so of course I had to explain we had a table downstairs we were waiting for. Then found out where we were sitting was reserved. Moved to another spot another waitress came by and told us that was reserved which left us standing up so why in the world were we directed to go to the rooftop? I'm not sure. We felt like ping-pong balls which should not happen in a fine dining restaurant like this. Went back downstairs to the original hostess, who said our table was ready, but we never got a text. We were seated in a booth and we're lucky to have a wonderful waiter who really seemed to know what was going on. He brought us a tray of the selection of meats to look at and explained each one ....everything was grass fed steaks. we ordered the French onion soup to start with, which was amazing, The best I've ever had. I ordered the Tide and Timber which was a 6 ounce filet and three Parmesan crusted shrimp with garlic, mashed potatoes and asparagus. We were provided with fresh hot garlic rolls and butter. Delicious! Service was on the ball. Our food came in about 20 minutes, which was pretty fast considering it was a full house on a Wednesday evening. The menu is amazing and I think once they work out the kinks it'll be even better. I will be back to try other things.

    Is the hate this restaurant is getting deserved or not please explain?

    It is NOT deserved. The menu choices are very good as well as the food. Service is above average and the atmosphere is that of a high end restaurant. It is not inexpensive… Read more
