Embers Wood Grill -Food CA (Near Gainesville)

James Beckham The wife and I really enjoyed our night out at Embers. The food was cooked to our requests. The taste and flavor of the food was wonderful and plate presentation was excellent. We noted my wifes birthday on the reservation and they gave her a nice Birthday treat. I got the Duck breast and she got a steak. We will make this her birthday dinner treat every year now. Atmosphere was okay. Alot of servers and other employees walking around constantly, no type of music playing just dead air and the drop ceiling should be replaced to fit the Embers design and Atmosphere. But dont let that deter you from visiting this place.

Lid Today was our first visit to Stirrups and the World Equestrian Center. We made our reservations for brunch. last night and everything went perfectly this morning. We were greeted up front by some of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. Our Server was very information and she had enthusiasm and pizazz that you just do not see anymore these days in the hospitality industry. We ordered the Deviled Eggs and Bread Basket to start which were so delicious. We then had the Imperial Benedict, Biscuits and Gravy, Omelette and Equestrian Breakfast. Everyone loved their entrees, the service and the ambiance. At the end of our meal, a Manager came by to check on us and we were surprised by a lovely Florida Citrus dessert. It was delicious. We will definitely be back for a visit soon. Thank you so much to the team for making our experience one of the best in a long, long time. :)

Will Lovan Absolutely fantastic experience at STK Steakhouse Miami Beach. The Australian Wagyu was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly—and the filet was just as impressive: tender, juicy, and exactly what you want from a top-tier steakhouse. What really stood out compared to other steakhouses was the generous portion sizes on the sides. You definitely get more value here without sacrificing quality. The appetizers were killer across the board and set the tone for an excellent meal from the start. A special shoutout to our server Daniel, who truly went above and beyond. When we weren’t satisfied with the soda machine product, he took it upon himself to find and secure alternative soft drinks so we could fully enjoy our experience. That level of attentiveness and care made a big difference and reflects exceptional service. Great food, great portions, and standout hospitality. STK Miami Beach absolutely delivers, and we’ll be back.

Todd Musgrove Salt & the Cellar delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. I booked the reservation through OpenTable for a dinner with a former colleague, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The highlights started immediately with the Akira Back Tuna Pizza, perfectly executed, with micro shiso and white truffle oil adding just the right balance of freshness and richness. The Spanish Octopus was tender and flavorful, and the 14oz NY Strip was cooked exactly as ordered, with a clean, high-quality cut that spoke for itself. The AB Wagyu Tacos were another standout. The tomato ponzu and gochujang added depth without overpowering the wagyu, and the balance of textures was spot on. Cocktails were equally impressive, the Smoked Old Fashioned made with High & Wicked bourbon and Trinity bitters was smooth, well-constructed, and a great complement to the meal. The real surprise of the night, though, was the Hot Mess Specialty Roll. Hands down, it was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had. The rice was the perfect consistency, something many places miss and the combination of sashimi poke, chuka wakame, and spicy ponzu aioli was exceptional. Every bite was balanced, clean, and genuinely memorable. Between the quality of the food, thoughtful execution, and overall atmosphere, Salt & the Cellar lives up to its reputation. I’d absolutely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a refined but approachable dining experience.

v Renato’s is always such a beautiful experience. The ambiance alone feels like a quiet escape—elegant, intimate, and very Palm Beach. The service was great from start to finish. David, our server, was quick, efficient, and genuinely proficient. He knew the menu well and anticipated what we needed without ever hovering. The only note is that the chicken was a bit on the drier side, but everything else—from the atmosphere to the staff—more than made up for it. Overall, a lovely dining experience and definitely worth returning.
