My mimosa, yum!
This was my first visit to Ember & Rye with chef Richard Blais at the helm. Such a touching tribute to name the place after his daughters Ember & Riley.

We came here for lunch to celebrate my 54th birthday. I’ve discovered age really is just a number, it’s all about how you feel inside. I’m humbled, left ever hopeful by the effervescent mindset of my parents.
I’ve been here before when it was Argyle, so I knew the view and seating area would be excellent. We sat outside under the welcoming shade of an umbrella with a view of the lovely golf course.
The menu options all sounded wonderful making it hard to choose. The swordfish prime rib with squash was my decision and my taste buds were very happy indeed! The last time I had a decently prepared swordfish was in Hawaii many years ago. It is difficult to get just right as it has a tendency to be dry. This swordfish was moist, with a nice char, infused with garlic, black lime and black pepper, just magnificent. Paired with the squash and feta mint, including the delicate citrus yogurt sauce on top I was in heaven. Wish I could eat here everyday!

Thanks everyone at Ember & Rye for making my birthday very special.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

The swordfish and dessert was awesome! Wish they still had popovers.
Perhaps they will consider adding it to the menu once again if enough people ask for it.
How delicious and happy belated birthday to you!
Thanks Joy!
