While the crust was good, the overall balance wasn't quite what I personally look for in a classic margarita. It leaned heavier on the cheese, and I tend to prefer a version where the sauce plays a more prominent role, with lighter amounts of fresh mozzarella and basil added just before serving. That said, this is still a solid spot for grabbing a beer, and the bar food is generally very consistent. I'll definitely be back, especially for the wings.

Our window seat gave us a great view of the lower square in Downtown Dover and we had plenty of tv screens if we wanted to watch! Nice pub atmosphere. Pete's fish tacos looked great and my Caesar salad with Cajun shrimp was nice. My one complaint about the taste of the salad was that it came across as too salty. Our waitress was kind enough to bring me a different dressing which helped tone it down. Kudos for the shrimp not having their tails! All in all a decent meal. But next time I think I'll try those fish tacos!

On a blustering cold winter night, we stumbled into Ember after discovering the eatery as a nearby…read moredining option while visiting the area. A convenient parking lot directly across the street was a gem since we were in a hurry to warm back up inside. Upon entering, it seemed like a quiet night for the restaurant. The hostess at the front desk was not particularly welcoming or friendly to our family of four, and although there were available tables on the main level, she said she was seating us upstairs. We followed her up to a beautiful dining space with an impressive bar, warm lighting, rustic details, and so much charm. Our server, Scott, was fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable and patient, providing great recommendations from the menu. We were able to enjoy a delicious dinner, featuring the Ember Burger (so many layers of flavor with a shallot jam, mustard aioli, and cherrywood bacon), a kids' pizza (which is basically a whole medium pizza), and delicious Chicken Vodka Parmesan, which has some kick from the house-made spicy vodka sauce. In the mood to be adventurous, I explored the specialty cocktail menu, crafted with unique ingredients and thoughtfulness. Based on Scott's recommendation, I opted for the Hummingbird Down, made with green chartreuse from Carthusian monks and house-made honey syrup. The herbaceous, spirited beverage was so complex that I enjoyed it until the last sip. I can see the appeal of this location for an intimate date night, chill girls' dinner, and even private events; the space is beautiful! If we lived locally, we'd certainly be coming back!

The upstairs was cozy and conducive to great conversation. The bar was easy to access and both bartenders were delightful. The bar menu was quite extensive and the drink offerings were creative. They set up a nice buffet. The food was OK. Many of the attendees were from UNH and commented that the quality was similar to what you get at a UNH event. I liked the meatballs, the gravy (sauce) was better than most places, but there was no red pepper flakes or parm available to enhance. The empanadas looked great but were just OK... They would benefit from some hot sauce. All in all, I would recommend Ember for a catered event, business meeting, etc for its ambiance, service, clean and convenient rest room, beautiful bar, and ample parking in the garage.

I ordered a dirty martini, I swear it was half olive brine, my daughter ordered surf and turf which was the fillet and scallops. The waitress bought it out there was no scallops on there and told us that the surf was in the sauce and that was it. Two minutes later at the manager came over and bought the scallops that were supposed to be in it. Lastly, we ordered two other desserts to go and the pieces of cake that they gave us were half the size of what they were delivering to the table. I had the rack of lamb which was cooked perfectly and everything on that dish was really enjoyable. A place like that that charges so much money you just expect higher end service without those type of issues. My sense is the staff and entire staff seemed to still be training for some reason.

We had had a great server who paced our dishes perfectly. There are multiple ways to approach dinner here as they offer a variety of small and large plates. We chose a couple of small plates to start and sample, followed by an entree each. Plenty of food as the portions were generous. We ended up taking home part of each entree for lunch the next day. I tried the Huli Huli chicken buns, hoping for a little bit of Hawaii flavor, and these were delicious. They are priced individually so you can order as many as you like. I thought one was a reasonable appetizer portion. Unfortunately, the Cavatelli was sold out, but they offered another delicious pasta in it's place. I had the Plum Char Sui Pork, again a generous portion of melt in your mouth pork. Lots of that delicious five spice flavor, which hit all the right notes. Perhaps a bit too much of the sauce for me, but this was a delicious plate and I thought reasonably priced as compared to many other restaurants lately. I can see why this chef has gotten a James Beard nod, and a great spot to enjoy when in Dover
