Ember Modern American Tavern

Worst dining experience we've ever had. We were seated for almost 2 hours, ordered food with 3 different waiters, and never received our meal.

Was a party of 9. They lost our food ticket. It took us 2.5 hours from when seated to get our food.

Not for lack of trying. Our second time here, hoping it’d better. This is a hotel restaurant. We stopped ordering once the charcuterie board came out. It was pre cut, cubed cheese… the kind we get at the grocery store for snacking, carrots, celery and crackers. This was vendor-packaged stuff and not what I’d call fresh or interesting. On the strength of the appetizer, we opted to skip dinner.

Mediocre food and poor service. We had a family dinner here and it definitely was a disappointment. The chicken fried steak at $22 definitely wasn't hand battered; it was straight from the freezer like a fast food restaurant. Lukewarm mashed potatoes and my wife's $32 salmon was dry as a bone. Our server randomly picked up empty plates and my wife's was never picked up. Server was sweet but definitely not trained well. Prices don't justify the quality of the food or service.

Arrived for 1:30 reservation. Buffet had hardly any dressing, potatoes or gravy and they were not refilled for 30-45 min. All of the food was cold and very few items tasted good. None was delicious. The turkey was moist and good but cold. Service was lacking in that all that was required was to serve drinks and they took 15 minutes. Considering it was Waterford hotel and the cost was $55 each, this dining experience left much to be desired. I would not recommend it to anyone.
