Best Seafood Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

What a lovely dinner with friends! Thomas, the GM, gave us VIP service with some delicious appetizers to start our evening. We really enjoyed John “Frenchie” our server and his top notch service and personality! Ember is a hidden gem and one of our favorite places to eat on special occasions!

My wife and I ate at a high top in the bar, we like the music and crowd. Her filet and my bone in ribeye were perfect, medium rare. My side of cream spinach was served lukewarm and I returned it. I didn’t have it replaced although they offered. There was a problem in getting our two glasses of wine before our meal, the food came out way too quickly even though we had requested a slow delivery of our meal. One of the managers came by and finally got our wines. My wife had finished her steak and I was half finished. By this time. A different server, Mike took over and things returned to a great experience, we received a free butter cake and credit for the two wines and Mike gave us two green tea shots on him after we had paid our bill. They messed up with communication but recovered beautifully. It turned out to be a great experience.

We love Tommy Bahama but our sweet and super attentive server, Macie made our Christmas Eve family dinner super special! The food is always delicious-the portions got a little smaller, but same amazing quality. So the reason for this review is mainly Macie went above and beyond to be super sweet and informative. In all the years of eating at TB and loving the Pina Colada cake, we never knew it came in 2 sizes. She was awesome to share that with us, as the large is so big for most people. Can't wait to go back and ask for Macie as our server.

We had a great experience celebrating our 45th anniversary. We were presented with a menu that said Happy 45th Anniversary. Our waiter was personable and attentive. Our bread, steak and potatoes and drinks were very good. I was not impressed with the chopped salad, although I did appreciate that I was allowed to order a half order of the salad. Our special evening was topped off with a complimentary desert. Nice evening.

Excellent experience. Better than expected. Our server, Amy, was phenomenal. The entire staff was also great and made for a memorable evening. Food was amazing. Definitely will be back and highly recommend.
