Three Embers Restaurant — Restaurant in Lincolnshire

Went here for dinner on a weekend and was a little disappointed. I get what they are trying to do but Three Embers misses on a number of fronts. The ambiance was nice and the open kitchen concept is cool but other than dessert that was the best thing about the restaurant.

First, the food plating is confusing and the portions are small as other reviews have mentioned. I ordered the filet which came with a tiny portion of cold and bland mashed potatoes. The asparagus was put in the steak sauce that came with the meal. Why I don’t know, so if you don’t want steak sauce on your asparagus then too bad. The steak itself was not bad but very small for the price. At these price points there is little to no value. My wife had the ribeye which came with a strange hodgepodge of sides: a pile of cabbage on top of the steak, half an ear of roasted corn and some kind of Mac n cheese that supposedly had mushroom in it. The cabbage on top of the steak I suppose was to hide the fact that the meat was tough. The Mac and cheese had an odd taste and texture to it. Very skip-able flavor. The roasted corn is called “Mexican street corn”. Their “Mexican street corn” was clearly named that by someone that has never had actual Mexican street corn. Overall the wife was quite disappointed.

Our server was really nice and personable but the entire time we were there no one came by and filled our water. Eventually I had to ask the server for more. At these price points I fully expect there to be a water server or busser that fills water without you having to ask. The manager (?) stopped by our table to ask how things were. She didn’t even stop just kind of walked by slowly so I didn’t bother her as she clearly wanted to be somewhere else.

We got a hummingbird cake for dessert which was actually very good. I would definitely eat that again but I don’t think I can suffer through the main course to justify it.

Overall I doubt we...

It was my first time eating at Three Embers and it was a great experience overall. There was some confusion initially with our reservation but we were still seated rather quickly. The decor was themed to the show and was beautiful! The staff was attentive and very friendly. Everyone came by and made their rounds to check on the table including the managers and chef. The drinks and appetizers were amazing: falafel, bread and butter, wine, and Dragon fruit cocktail Entree: the Sea bass could have had less of the garlic butter sauce and more of the sweet pea puree but I guess that's preference... also, the salad component on the side was unnecessary and the dish would've been great without it. The trio was mediocre: the steak was great, the sous vide Chicken should have been grilled, the shrimp was covered in unnecessary Parmesan crumble which ended up all over the whole plate (both the steak and shrimp both had a lot of it), there were brussel sprouts on the plate not listed in the menu which I would have substituted because I cannot eat them, also the corn should have been a half or full cob for the price ($71) rather than a third of a cob.

Desserts: had the Elvis Chocolate Mouse, suggestions would be more bacon flavor on the peanut topping- couldn't taste bacon at all, seemed like the peanuts were rancid, needed more whipped cream and bananas, but the chocolate mousse was delicious and so rich.

Overall the parking was easy, seating was fast, decor amazing, food was delicious, service was fast and smooth, and staff...

We usually don't eat at restaurants located in hotels, but we made an exeption due to other reviews. The newly renovated restaurant located in the Lincolnshire Marriott was something we really wanted to give a try. At only 6 weeks old, the restaurant had some very nice offerings as far as the food and decor goes. We found that the food was not only presented nicely, but the portions were also very generous. The waitstaff provided us with excellent attentive service. The wine list was also nicely varied with many choices. As this restaurant is in a hotel, I know that many people are reluctant to give it a try. I can assure you that as the "foodie snob" that I am, you will not be disappointed. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review, was due to a smaller than usual menu. They have a beautiful fire pit that they cook most entrees over, so I am surprised by the lack of daily specials. In any case, I am sure that we will return. This is certainly a...
