Ember & Eagle

“I know this is a Michelin rated restaurant but this restaurant is exceptionally alluring!! We had a wonderful dinner with new friends at Ember & Eagle! It was a great way to impress them to the joys of moving to Monmouth County. Absolutely beautiful renovations in every room! We were here 20 years ago and you would not believe it was the same place! The staff was delightful! Salina the general manager greeted us when we arrived and came back to check on us at the end of the evening. Jess was a great waitress, patient and paced as we chatted thru dinner. Corey was so endearing as our host. The attention from the staff was very classy. The food was artwork and incredibly delicious! Quite the treat!! The grounds are gorgeous even covered in snow. The sunset was stunning. The place was packed even for a 5pm seating. An elegant wedding was taking place downstairs. I can't believe the transformation of the ballroom! Corey asked us to peak in and see the magical change in that room! Truly stunning!! Can't wait to be back. The valet parking was a plus!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Experience at Ember & Eagle – Eatontown We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ember & Eagle in Eatontown. The atmosphere was romantic, relaxed, and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived, the staff was professional, welcoming, and attentive. Everything felt clean, polished, and well-organized. The steak was cooked perfectly, our sides were excellent, and dessert was truly amazing. We especially appreciated that we never felt rushed. It made the evening feel calm and enjoyable. We were seated in a unique lounge-style area with couch seating instead of standard chairs, which added a really special touch to the night. It appeared to be a limited seating option, so I’d recommend requesting or reserving that area if you’re looking for a more intimate setting. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience. The only small suggestion would be some improvement behind the bar. They did not offer Merlot by the glass (only by the bottle), and flexibility with drink requests would enhance an otherwise outstanding visit. Great job to the entire team. We’ll definitely be back.”

“This place really left an imprint on us. Super friendly waitress/staff, extremely attentive service, and incredible food. Better than most Michelin star establishments that we’ve been to. Bravo everyone, keep up the great work! Oh, and they have sticky toffee pudding, the best dessert ever :) We’d definitely come back, and it’s worth going out of your way for, 100%”

“Ember and Eagle is truly one of New Jersey’s best-kept secrets. I’ve been dining here since they opened, and Chef Ryan and his team continue to deliver an exceptional experience time and time again. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit—warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, with a stunning fireplace and perfectly curated décor that creates an unforgettable ambiance. We started the evening with drinks at the bar, where the bartenders were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Dinner was outstanding. Their house-made pasta is phenomenal—we tried several dishes, and each one was exceptional. The salads were both delicious and artfully presented. And the desserts… WOW. We ordered a variety, and every single one was not only incredible in flavor but presented like a work of art. Service was flawless from start to finish. Plates were cleared promptly after each course, fresh silverware was provided every time, the serving dishes were beautiful, and the entire staff was warm, attentive, and smiling throughout the night. They truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. I rarely write reviews unless a place is truly exceptional—and Ember and Eagle exceeds expectations on every level. We can’t wait to return.”

“A MUST TRY!!! I’d like to start off by saying the manager Holly, waiter Marco and Hostess Brielle are all amazing! We had a reservation at butchers block and after waiting over an hour we were never seated. I called ember and eagle on a busy Friday night and despite having no open reservations Holly treated us like royalty, she told the valet we were coming, she told the hostess and personally came over to introduce herself and check in with us. This really stood out to me and I thank holly for that! Marco was our waiter and was extremely kind and attentive. He was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and made great recommendations when ordering. Also want to give compliments to the chef and let management know they need to do whatever they can to keep him because every plate we had was fantastic! We started off with the pecorino zeppole. Recommended my Marco, and although an interesting combination it was one of my favorites. The sliced prosciutto with the zeppole and cheese was great! The tuna carpaccio was also recommended and is a top choice for when we come back! That Japanese rice cake was the perfect touch! For dinner we had a filet and a tomahawk ribeye both cooked wonderfully and the presentation of these as well as all the other dishes was beautiful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Parmesan fries with the truffle sauce on the side. Again, recommended by Marco and it paired wonderfully. For dessert we had the chocolate pear which was dark chocolate and super rich in flavor. The way we were treated by all the staff says so much. Everyone was super kind and accommodating. Marco talked with us the whole night, Holly came and said goodnight to us and thanked us for coming, even the valet guys remembered my name. This is how you want to feel and be treated when you go out to eat at an upscale restaurant, and the team at ember and eagle really focused on that. We will definitely be putting this on our list of top restaurants and plan on being regulars here! A MUST TRY!!!”
