Bad service worst ever , you wait for half hour to get a seat and another half an hour to wait for food to serve the issue waitress are not friendly not paying attention to their customers and sad part they forget to send your order to the kitchen ending your waiting for nothing. Worst ever !!!!! Restaurant never be back again better to look for other restaurant rather than this!

Have just walked out of Embers. There were 5 of us. Unable to accommodate us with a table. So 3 sat at 1 table and 2 sat at another. 1 staff member was extremely rude, sighing and huffing and puffing when she left table.We cossed the road to Rumours where staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Food was second to none with a great choice. We will not be returning to Embers.

We had such a nice meal there the first day of our holiday (on a 2 day break) that we had to come back a second time! The food was delicious. Good wholesome food. Friendly and welcoming staff. A lovely wee restaurant in the centre of Armagh. Can only highly recommend this restaurant. Hopefully we will return again.

Lovely restaurant with great friendly welcoming staff, we ordered the fish and chips which were delicious also cater for gluten free which my wife is, also very reasonably priced. Only criticism was the service was slow even though there were only a few customer's in.

The food was excellent, portions were good, the ambiance and decoration was welcoming even as we sat outside! This family owned restaurant was a great place for breakfast in Armagh, it’s a pity we couldn’t stay longer since we were traveling. The staff was really kind and welcomed me and my family, I felt right at home. Excellent service, hopefully I get the chance to travel here again!

Went there for our son’s 40th Birthday celebrations which I had told them about when booking for 10 people. Very disappointed in preparation as it was nil. In fact I asked for table upstairs and was shown to table downstairs at the door which hadn’t room for 10 . I could say a lot more about the attitude of the guy who I think owns the restaurant but to say the least his attitude was appalling . I. sensed there was some problem which wasn’t of my making and it certainly was no way to treat paying customers. The rest of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The food which was served promptly was absolutely gorgeous and plenty of it. I had the steak sandwich and it was easily the nicest I’ve ever tasted. The chips were big and golden. and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. The bill was fine and the only thing I had a problem with the £33 service chargeI’. If it goes directly to staff then grand but customers should be given the option to pay. We always leave a generous tip in restaurants but like to have the option. I’ve been to Embers on many occasions but after Sat night I can’t see me going back. The reason for no stars for atmosphere is because there wasn’t any.

Staff were friendly and helpful, food was decent and reasonable price. Mix of business people, old people and families. The only drawback from my perspective was that there was only one toilet which served as Disabled toilet, Baby changing facility and general toilet so a very long wait. One section of the restaurant was closed off when we arrived late afternoon (think setting up for the evening) so it may be there were additional toilets in that area that weren't available at the time. I would use the restaurant again if I was there: it is located conveniently across from the theatre and cinema.

Really poor experience. Had booked and arrived at 6pm in advance of 7.30 show at the Marketplace. It took a good 15 mins to get as much as a menu in our hands, and was almost 7pm before a starter arrived. The main course came at 7.20 approx which had to be inhaled in a frantic dash which was quite unpleasant. Couldn't even say the meal was worth the wait, roast beef very much on the tough side. Won't be in any hurry back.

It was fine. Not grossly offended but equally, not in a rush to go back. 4 of us ate, and other than my gran, the 3 of us all thought the same thing for what we each got. Have been years ago before and just seems product quality has gone down or change of hands? Lots of biddies about though (I took my wee granny here as it's her favourite cafe), so may be I'd say it better suits the clientelles softer pallets! Chicken sandwich was a bit bland for our tastes, but I think grandma would have been fine with it for example. Service was excellent and restaurant very clean. Wheel chair access/toilet. Vegetarian + Glutun free options I think but double check as im only recalling this from memory. Wouldn't go for you were in a rush though, bit of a laid back speed to the place. Very reasonably priced.

Ordered the fillet for main and asked for medium rare, the steak came out extra well done it was like burnt rubber (there was also a long wait from the starter to the main, maybe because my steak was burning) I gave this place an extra star because the girls serving were nice and very attentive. When you have a grill restaurant you should have the steaks correctly cooked. (I’m not a picky eater and I was very hungry, I have eaten slightly over cooked steaks in several different restaurants in my time. This was a different kind of over cooked!)
