Honest food,
cooked over fire.

A modern bistro built around a wood-burning hearth. Seasonal menus written every Tuesday, ingredients sourced within fifty miles, and wines we can vouch for personally.

Our Story

Twelve years, one simple idea.

Ember & Oak began in 2014 when chef-owner Marisol Reyes returned from a year of cooking through Catalonia and Tuscany convinced of one thing: food cooked over real fire, with ingredients you can name the farm of, doesn't need much more.

Twelve years later we're still writing menus by hand on Tuesday mornings, still building the fire at 3 PM sharp, and still calling our growers by their first names. The dining room got a little prettier; the philosophy did not change.

What sets us apart

Cooking the way it used to be done.

Wood-fired Hearth

Built by hand from local oak. The fire never goes out during service.

Local Sourcing

Every ingredient on the plate travels less than fifty miles to get here.

Weekly Menu

The menu changes every Tuesday. We follow the harvest, not the calendar.

Hospitality First

Three quarters of our team has been here three years or more. It shows.

"The lamb shoulder is the best thing I've eaten this year. The dining room feels like an old friend's living room. We're already booking our next visit."

"Booked the chef's table for our anniversary. Marisol came out herself between courses. Genuinely felt like family by the end of the night."

"You can taste the fire in everything. Even the bread. Wines were spot on, sommelier knew exactly what I'd like before I did."
