Empire Woodfire Grill is located at Livonia NY. It is a spacious restaurant which provides comfortable chairs and large tables. The atmosphere couldn't get any better for your dining experience. A brick modern fireplace lovely art framed pictures as well as wines displayed in the front of the entry way makes for a welcoming architect dining experience. Host greeted us as soon as we entered and also acted as our server. Seating preference was offered regarding the dining room or the second room. We chose the dining room and chose the table close to the lovely brick fireplace. Since Ember Woodfire Grill has a different concept then most of the restaurants in WNY or the fingerlakes the server took his time and explained both the share concept as well as the menu items available for the evening. We ordered 4 entrees in which to share. Food is made to prepare and shared items come to the table when prepared. A delicious bread comes to the table which is included with entrees. The large entree pork chop meal my husband ordered to share was delicious and my husband was in pork chop heaven saying it was his best pork chop he ever ate! It was a baked large chop which had a crust which was delicious it tasted similiar to a shake and bake but much more flavor. The chop was crunchy and moist. Entree included bacon mashed potatoes which were delicious a cross between creamy and thick and oh the bacon! The bacon was evenly distributed throughout the potatoes and the onion had a delicious taste. Entree also included apple slaw which was delightful. The second Entree we chose was a zuchini baked into wide strips with a few cheeses added along with 2 types of rices. Also Indian spices were added to give the Entree a spicy added taste. I highly reccomend this dish for a healthy Entree and for those who enjoy a bit of spices. The third and final Entree was a chick pea Entree which included pita bread for dipping and was accompanied by a bed of stewed tomatoes. This one is Another winner and I will order it again. A big thank you goes out to Ember Wood fire Grill which made our dining experience excellent. Shared entrees are the way to go! Fun! And the delicious food! I'm up for ordering a few of the same entrees along with trying ourlt the Pizza you offer on the menu! Were both looking forward to our next visit! Ember Woodfire Grill also offers outdoor dining when applicable a nice sized parking lot in front of the restaurant and a full sized bar and lounge for your pleasure. Handicap parking is available

Ember Woodfire Grill gave us one of the best dining experiences that we’ve had all year! The host was welcoming and our waitress was outstanding. Since we’d never eaten here, plate sharing was suggested which gave each of us liberty to try each other’s meal. Every plate was delicious! We look forward to dining here again when we’re back in the area.

One word to describe our first visit to Ember Woodfire Grill in Livonia..OUTSTANDING!!!! From the beautifully crafted, delicious, sharable plates to the 10 star service from fellow Veteran Joey ⭐️🇺🇸 Ember Woodfire Grill knocked it out of the park this evening for our date night. I highly recommend visiting if you haven’t been here and taking Joey’s recommendations. We got the seared tuna and wild boar stuffed clams 😋 We will definitely be back again soon! ADDED BONUS 🇺🇸 They offer a military discount ALL THE TIME to active, retired, reserve and Veteran service members.

Embers was truly spectacular. I'm an Architect and I really enjoyed the architecture of the restaurant. On my Google reviews of restaurants you will find photos of the decor... not photos of the food. They actually solved the issue of food arriving too soon or too late. They just say, "It's coming out as soon as it's ready." One of the top (20) enjoyable meals I have ever had. At sunset the high windows in the bar cast orange rectangles on the walls. The patio must be a sanctuary during warmer weather.

Excellent eatery! Highly recommend! We stopped in on the recommendation of a local and we are thankful we did! Service was fantastic, quick and polite. The style is shared plates and the food comes out as it’s served so it’s fresh and everything we ordered was yummy! Definitely recommend the pizza. If you’re in the area you should stop in. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area that is absolutely lovely.

My parents are frequent diners here and had invited me to meet them here. They rave about it being their favorite place to eat. The staff is very friendly and full of recommendations. The dishes are served family style to share and the portions are huge! Although it's a drive for me, it's so worth it. The menu changes daily and everything is AZMAZING. Definitely one of my favorites.

Today my friends and I decided to make the trip out to Ember to see what the hype was about. Needless to say it was absolutely worth it! Everything we tried was amazing flavors service you name it 5 stars all around. If you want to cry while you eat try the Mushroom Ravioli and Bacon Braised Short Rib, if you're more of a giddy eater get happy with the Sweet Potato Egg Rolls I literally saw granny when I tasted this one 🥹 overall the price point and service is worth the trip I'd definitely recommend this place ❤️

The food was great and on point. The 'shareable' concept was executed well on the majority of the dishes that I saw coming out to the floor. The atmosphere is shooting for high end niche but advertised as casual.. plan to dress business casual. Our waitress was fantastic, but the hostess could have been more inviting. Their bar selection looked great as well. Overall a great restaurant, but would have just liked to have seen it better represented other than 'casual'.

Visited last night for first time. My son took his gf there last year and raved about it. Drove an hour out of our way to get there. We called and asked for 630 reservation and was told if we got there earlier we could sit at the bar. We did arrive early and even though place was not crowded we were told to go to the bar. That's where things went south. Took at least 5 minutes to get acknowledged, and he apologized for the wait, took our order then proceeded to make a number of other drinks before getting ours. And when he did take the order he corrected me on the beer I wanted. But he was wrong. I ordered "Exacta Bomb", which it clearly says on the handle, and said it was "Extra Bomb". If you're going to be a bartender you need to know what you are selling. Took 20 minutes to get our 2 beers. We were then told our table was ready and led outside. I was surprised to find only a few tables filled. I assume the plan is to get people to the bar first in order to increase bar sales? At least the food was great. Had Chinese broccoli cream and bacon pizza, Mac and cheese, and jerk chicken. All were really good. Finished with coconut cake which was also great. Service at our table was also great. Too bad the bar experience was so bad. Not sure we'll go out of our way again.

Cool building with a larger parking lot. Server was nice but host was not. The only gluten free entree option was not available that night (which was a Saturday night) so we had to spend a fortune on a gf pizza and wings. Not what we had wanted for a date night out to celebrate a birthday. Wouldn't recommend or return.
