    Dinner was great! My husband had the prime rib and I had the salmon and we were both very pleased. Lulu was our server and she was great! She told us about the most popular items and explained about the desserts options too. The manager was also great. He checked on our meals and made sure we had everything we needed a couple of times. We will definitely be back again!

    Rice with the trout was bad, tasted like metal. The trout was overcooked

    Thank you, Brian, for taking your time to share your thoughts on the dining experience. It is always disappointing when we do meet the 5-star standard which is our goal. We do apologize for the over-cooked trout and hope that the next time you join us we meet that 5-star standard. Doug-Restaurant Manager

    Lulu was absolutely amazing, super helpful and attentive. Made my birthday dinner super special. I would say the only slight negative would be that the entire experience felt a little rushed, our food came out quickly and was great but we were in and out in under an hour. The check was dropped while we were eating but we weren’t asked if we wanted anything else

    We had a later reservation for after a full day at Dollywood. The restaurant was calm and inviting, and our server Lulu was exceptional in service. The entire family enjoyed our meal to end a wonderful family day.

    Megan, thank you for taking your time to complete a review for us. We learn and grow based on the information gained through reviews. LuLu always takes care of her guests. The red fish is a new menu item for us and your feedback is helpful. I will let LuLu and Chef Mike know about your positive comments. Doug-Restaurant Manager

    We really enjoyed tonight’s dinner and EnE! The greeters gave my daughter a button for her birthday and wished her a HBD. We looked over the menus and the Server Noel suggested a red wine. He was right, it was a better choice. We chatted with him for a while. He took our order and suggested a dessert. He noted to us the Bread Pudding takes a while to make, so we put the order in early for it. The cadence and timing of the service and food was five stars as well as the quality of the food. My husband ordered the filet and he was happy with his choice. The prices reflect the quality and level of service that is given. I can’t wait to come again and I hope Noel is our server again. He is a treasure!

    Thank you, Jennifer, for this 5-star review. You shared your positive experience with me when I visited your table. Your family was a delight, and we were happy to be a part of your daughter's birthday celebration. Noel is a server who genuinely cares for the guests he serves. I will certainly let him know how pleased you were with his attention and level of provided service. We hope that you return to Ember & Elm, soon. And if Noel is working, please request him and we will certainly assign him to your table again. Doug-Restaurant Manager
