EMBER

THINGS TO KNOW:

Located inside We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, Ember is a destination dining experience that serves the highest quality steaks and seafood prepared over wood-fired grills. To start, try the Soy Mirin Glazed Pork Belly, Ujih Hot Stone with your choice of beef or tuna, or an order of six oysters, delivered fresh daily. For an entree, choose from seafood or meats, including Wagyu beef and pork chops from Idaho’s Snake River Farms. The Ember Flaming Liquid Chocolate Truffle, with citrus-infused cognac, toasted brioche pudding and vanilla bean marshmallow, is a perfect way to finish your dining experience.

DON’T MISS:

Ember’s menu is complemented by a specialty cocktail menu, whiskey library and extensive wine list. A standout drink is the Sacred Smoke, Ember’s take on the timeless Manhattan that combines bourbon, sweet vermouth and bitters, served tableside in an oak chip Ember smoked glass.
