Would be nice to have 3 tacos vs 2 as each one is $8! With no sides.

Overall a good takeout experience. Will probably order again.

I thought the Guinness here was completely on par with the quality of the Druid and several people were drinking it into form in what was a great audience of people socializing, music, and sports.

While we didn't try any of the food, the drinks were pretty good. I enjoyed my drink, called Penicillin, because the combination of honey, ginger, and lemon was delicious. Service was quick, but the person serving us seemed pretty annoyed that we were standing around our table. Overall, probably a great spot to go for a drink earlier in the night if you live nearby. However, not worth going out of your way to go to (parking was difficult), and definitely not well suited for larger groups.

Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

The Sponge Bob's Wet Dream was my favorite cocktail of the night, but they have plenty to choose from.

The mill type setting is creatively decorated and the owners take pride in everything that they do. Being a fundraiser, they were super busy, but had every angle covered to make it a success. This is a great place to come hang out with or without friends.

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.

If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.

Our server was lovely and super helpful when I couldn't decide between the Tiger Eye and the Three Kings roll. They explained which roll I could likely find at other places and which one was more unique to their location, which really helped. In addition to the Ribeye Kimchi Fries, I got the Three Kings roll. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The food also came out quickly. I believe it was less than 15 minutes from ordering to food on the table. I was beyond impressed. If I'm not mistaken, our entire visit, with everything we ordered, was about 45 minutes. Efficient and delicious. The bathrooms were spotless, the dark ambiance was on point, and although parking was a bit rough, the overall experience made it completely worth it. 10 out of 10. HIGHLY recommend! I will be back.
