Henrietta to ember woodfire grill10/12/2023 ![]() ![]() If you didn't know better, you might think you just walked into a fabulous restaurant in Chicago or NYC, but it's Livonia, NY in western, upstate NY. It's a lively atmosphere and probably requires reservations on most nights. This is the beauty of a tapas restaurant: to sample many small plates of food without filling up on one thing. The mac & cheese was great, the sliders were awesome, the hummus bruschetta was addicting, the steak salad was wonderful, and on and on. We ordered an eclectic selection of tapas to satisfy everyone in our party and no one was disappointed. Our waiter was knowledgable and friendly & happily explained the tapas concept to those in our party who had not experienced it before. Despite not having reservations, they accommodated our party & seated us fairly quickly. Based on a recommendation from the owner of the B&B where we stayed in Canandaigua, we visited Ember on a very crowded Monday night. Having traveled to many fabulous food destinations, I was completely blown away that this little gem is tucked away in the little town of Livonia, NY.

There was also a very pleasant outdoor patio/bar with entertainment which we were told is seasonal (it gets cold all too soon!). Each table is also served house "breads", which were small portions but very tasty, and an assortment of three whipped butters. We split a bowl of lobster bisque, the house bruschetta of the night, and a fruitt de mare, along with a bottle of wine. Turned out we didn't order half the items we thought we would, had plenty of scruptious food, and had a very reasonable bill at the end of it all. Our waiter made several suggestions as their presentation and food service is a bit different from most establishments."sharing" portions and "hot" food that is delivered when it is ready. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and accomodating. Lot of open space and subtle lighting (but more than enough for older eyes to see the menu!). The building itself is a converted train station that is very pleasant and cozy inside. S.O.S.: Shorts or Suit, come down and enjoy!!!Īfter delivering our son to RIT for the season, we went in search of this restaurant we'd heard so much about.
