Jonson Street after dark has a new anchor. Ember sits at the centre of Byron's main strip, which means foot traffic, noise, and energy on weekend nights. Without review data to draw from, the honest position is this: it's a bar in the heart of town, which tells you something about the crowd and the pace. The Jonson Street location puts it close to everything, useful if you're moving between venues or need somewhere to land after dinner. Go with realistic expectations for a busy strip bar rather than a quiet local. Worth a look on a quieter weeknight to get a proper read on what it's doing.
Devine food and service. The steak was the softest cut we’ve ever had and cooked to perfection. The sides were delectable, could not fault anything. It was so good we ate until we couldn’t move. The service was incredible with the friendliest staff and they even offered Toledo our food warm when we had to step away. Will be returning to Byron Bay just for this establishment. Thank you!
Had dinner here. The location is good being in the centre of town although the road noise was, at times, quite loud as the restaurant was open to one side. The interior decor is nice with various smaller defined areas. We had 6 oysters ($46) and 4 prawns ($36) to start, then eye fillets for mains ($54 each) with potato gratin ($17) and honey glazed carrots ($17) as sides. Being a dedicated steak restaurant I expected the steaks to be cooked as ordered. They weren't. I ordered a medium rare which was rare, my companion ordered a well done, which was medium rare. We had one glass of rose for $16.90 which retails by the bottle for $17.99. We also had a glass of Shiraz for $17.90, which retails by the bottle for $30.00. Two bottles of sparkling water at $12.90 each brought the total for the meal to just under $300. The food was nice, but nothing special, and I think this place is trying to be better than it really is.

Byron Bay
Oysters and cold drinks on a balcony above Lawson Street. This is Byron's raw bar in the most literal sense: elevated, unfussy, and well-positioned for watching the evening unfold below. Mid-range pricing makes it an easy yes for a pre-dinner drink that turns into two.

Byron Bay
A Jonson Street pub that's been holding its ground while Byron reinvented itself around it. Cold beers, mixed crowd, no attitude. The kind of place where locals and visitors end up at the same bar stool without anyone making it weird.

Had the best meal! Food was phenomenal, we shared the 1.1kg steak with greens and gratin, all of it was absolutely delicious. We also had the arancini and prawns to start and finished with the chocolate fondant. Service was excellent and the experience as a whole was great. It is on the pricey side but worth every penny
absolutely fantastic dinner for wedding anniversary the Ember Signature Scotch Fillet steak & Lamb Rump were both faultless as was the 3 side dishes of garlic mushrooms, pear rocket & goats cheese salad & skin on rosemary chips outstanding service combined with A+ food cooked to perfection wonderful atmosphere and significant selection of wines and cocktails. The place is a well oiled machine with knowledgeable & skilled staff will definitely be back and certainly recommend a visit
Amazing meal and service here on our weekend wedding anniversary getaway in Byron. Started with cocktails and oysters and then we shared two different steaks. My favourite was the Wagyu Rump 320g 6+ MBS / 560 days grain fed Shimo. We added some sides of Truffle shallot potato gratin & seasonal greens. Wine was great too!
Mullumbimby
Rooms above a working pub on Burringbar Street, in the middle of Mullumbimby's main strip. The most affordable way to actually sleep in Mullum rather than drive in from somewhere else. No frills, but the farmers market is walkable.
