Founded in 2019 by Chef Elena Torres, Ember & Vine brings together the primal art of wood-fired cooking with a deep love for exceptional wines. After a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens across Barcelona and Lyon, Elena returned downtown with a singular vision: to create a place where every dish tells the story of its fire.
Our kitchen centers around a custom-built stone hearth that reaches temperatures traditional ovens never could. Every ingredient is sourced from local farms and artisan producers, arriving fresh each morning.
Step through our doors into a world of warmth. The soft crackle of the hearth, the glow of candlelight on dark timber, the quiet hum of conversation between people who came to savor every moment. This is what dining was meant to feel like.
Our intimate 40-seat dining room was designed to make every table feel like the best in the house. The open kitchen puts the theatre of live-fire cooking on full display. In warmer months, our seasonal terrace offers a second kind of magic under the evening sky.
Words from guests who have shared an evening with us.
"The dry-aged ribeye was transcendent -- perfectly charred with a smoky depth I have never experienced anywhere else. The wine pairing elevated every bite. This is not just dinner; it is an event."

"As a chef myself, I rarely eat out and feel genuinely moved. Elena's command of fire is extraordinary. The charred octopus starter alone is worth the trip. Bravo."
