My first impression on
walking into Ember Grille
& Wine Bar was darkness. I
moved from the bright lights
of LAuberge into a soft twilight of low leather couches
and plush chairs, punctuated
by flickering red candles. The
brightest point in the room
was a peak of bottles behind
the bar, tiered ranks lit from
below like a Mount Olympus
of liquor. Piano music flowed
through the room, mingling
with the soft chatter of guests.
This was Embers Social
Hour, a newly launched dining event featuring a rotating
menu of seven small-plate
items. From 5:30 to 7 p.m. Sunday to Friday, each item is $7.
Also on the menu are specially
chosen wines and a signature
cocktail, likewise $7 apiece.
The menu items range from
enticing, like the Kobe French
Dip, to puzzling, like Candied
Bacon. Cognizant of my noble
reviewing mission, I determined to try them all.
Let the record show that
I fully intend to live forever,
but if I have to go, trying to
manage seven courses is my
preferred method.
The flood began with an
enticing basket of fresh bread,
accompanied by a small bowl
of creamy butter. I refrained
from filling up on bread, but
it was a difficult undertaking.
Im a sucker for hot buns, and
the soft white bread, cheesetopped roll and sturdy multigrain demanded appreciation.
Then the dishes started rolling
in. Three waiters brought out
plate after plate, eventually
pulling up a second table to
hold it all. By the time it was
over, I was in anticipatory
heaven and my bread was
another country.
