Get to know Ember, the Valley’s latest addition to an already incredible fine dining roster. Aptly named for its wood-fired grills, Ember provides a smoldering and intimate dining ambiance, exceptional customer service and – of course – the highest quality steaks and seafood. The whole casino is brand new and everything in Ember is to the nines.If you’ve been bellied-up to a table game or pulled a slot lever in the all-new We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort just outside Scottsdale in Fort McDowell, Arizona, you’ve likely caught a glimpse of the fiery letters and imposing iron door of the Phoenix area’s newest elevated dining experience – Ember.

Everything was to die for! Highly recommend for your next experience. Dessert came out and we got to see the interactive pouring of “fire” on our dessert, Jean did it so delicately and kept us engaged and entertained all night long, Brent the General Manager was so thoughtful and definitely made us gals feel like we were taken care of. The 34 oz Ribeye was soooooo good and we had the Roasted Hen of the Woods Mushroom dish as well. Brooke had a smoked old fashioned that came so beautifully and tasted even better! We moved on to the smoked pork belly that was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, Chef Matthew came out and introduced himself and the dishes we had coming out.

I ordered an espresso martini and gave the mixologist the go ahead to do an egg white frothed topper, which he added zested orange to and it elevated the martini in ways I didn’t even know I would like. You get treated like royalty coming out to this spot, which is great for date night, girls night or business dinners! The 34 oz Ribeye is what Brooke and I decided to split, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We started with some champs upon arrival, moved straight into the wagyu and tuna starter. Ember at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort in Fort McDowell, Arizona has the best food and service.
