Cooked over fire, served with care.

A neighborhood kitchen built around a 900° oak-burning hearth. Local produce, slow-smoked meats, natural wine and the best Sunday brunch in town.

Our Story

A simple idea: great ingredients, real fire, no shortcuts.

Ember & Oak started as a weekend pop-up with a borrowed smoker and a long waiting list. Today our open kitchen cooks everything — from charred flatbreads to 12-hour brisket — over seasoned oak.

We work with eleven farms within 80 miles, change the menu with the seasons, and pour wines from small producers who farm the way we cook: honestly.
