Embers is a romantic restaurant located on the 5th floor of the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino. It is one of the few remaining restaurants in Imperial Palace, and it has been repeatedly voted as one of the most romantic restaurants in Las Vegas.
There are only about twenty tables in the entire restaurant, so the whole atmosphere is very intimate. Limited tables also means that the waiters and waitresses are very attentive, and we have never wanted for anything during our visits. The menu is not very extensive, so you don't have to worry about perusing a long list of foods that you've never heard of.
Over the past few years, I've dined at Embers on five different occasions. Four of my visits have been in small family groups, but I did have one romantic dinner with my husband on our 10th anniversary.
For starters, I would recommend the Gratin Scallops or the Lobster Bisque as both are delicious options that are not too filling. My mom loves the Escargot, but I am not a fan of them and haven't personally tried them.
If you are a fan of steaks, the Delmonico Steak is a great option. A medium-sized cut of beef, it is perfectly seasoned and very tender. If you prefer chicken instead, the mushroom-and-herb filled breast of chicken is delicious and very juicy. My husband loved the pork chops, but I'm not a big fan of pork chops (but he has them whenever he can).
Be aware that the side dishes are available separately, and selections range from baked or mashed potatoes to a variety of vegetables. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes are my favorite side, but the Asparagus with Hollandaise is also very good.
The dessert menu is very simple, and an assortment of cakes and Creme Brulee' are offered. At this restaurant I always go for my all-time favorite dessert: Bananas Foster, prepared table side. If you've read my prior blog entries, you know I'm quite partial to Bananas Foster dishes everywhere and in every form, and I try them whenever I can. Theirs is delicious! They also have a Cherries Jubilee that they prepare table side, but I can't pull myself away from my favorite. I have sampled their chocolate cake and Creme Brulee', and they are yummy.
A meal with a glass of wine, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert could run anywhere from $50 to $100 per person, but you can pay for your meal with your HET Rewards Points if you have them. Regardless of the price, the atmosphere and food are very good and worth a try.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the whole meal experience a 8, and I would definitely visit again.
Embers opens at 5:00 p.m. every Thursday through Monday.
