Ember & Oak
Where Fire Meets Flavor
Experience artisan cuisine where every dish tells a story of fire, freshness, and family tradition.
Our Story
Founded in 2018 by Chef Marcus Chen, Ember & Oak began as a small pop-up kitchen with a single wood-fired oven and a dream to bring honest, flame-kissed food to our community.
Today, we source ingredients from local farms within 50 miles, honor time-tested techniques, and serve every guest like family. Our open kitchen invites you to witness the craft behind every plate.
“To nourish our community with food that is honest, sustainable, and unforgettable — one flame, one plate, one moment at a time.”
Farm-to-table partnerships within 50 miles
Wood-fired techniques for depth of flavor
Sustainable practices in every service

“Ember & Oak redefined what I expect from a neighborhood restaurant. The dry-aged ribeye was transcendent — perfectly charred outside, impossibly tender within. The open kitchen energy makes every visit feel like an event.”
