Ember & Oak
Modern American Grill & Cocktail Bar
Fire-kissed flavors, handcrafted cocktails, and the kind of warmth you can’t manufacture.
Three Pillars.
One Experience.
Open Hearth Cooking
Every dish is cooked over white oak and fruitwood on our open hearth. No gas burners, no shortcuts — just live fire, patience, and the best ingredients the South has to offer.
