$16Chef Marcus Blackwood spent a decade in Charleston's finest kitchens before he and his wife Sarah brought their vision north to Jacksonville's Riverside. Ember & Oak is the culmination of that journey — a place where open-flame cooking, locally-sourced ingredients, and handcrafted cocktails come together under one roof.
We believe the best meals are forged in fire, shared with good company, and paired with something worth sipping slowly.
