Good food needs very little: honest ingredients, a living fire, a pinch of salt, and people who are willing to wait.
Everything on the menu touches the hearth, from the bread to the dessert. No shortcuts, no gas line.
Our hearth is lit each afternoon with seasoned oak and tended by hand until the last table leaves.
Fourteen seats facing the hearth. A tasting menu served straight from the flame, course by course.
A candle-lit private room for celebrations and long dinners, with a menu built around your table.
Whole joints roasted slowly over the coals and carved to share, with every side on the table.
Ember & Salt began with a simple idea: build one good fire and cook everything on it. The kitchen is open to the room, so you can watch the coals being raked and the bread coming off the stone.
We buy from small growers and fishers near Sample City, write the menu around what arrives, and season with little more than salt, smoke and time.
