Our Story
Rooted in the coast, built around fire
Ember & Olive began with a simple idea: bring the unhurried, ingredient-first spirit of Mediterranean coastal cooking to a live-fire kitchen. Every dish on our menu passes over coals before it reaches your table.

Amelia R.June 2026 · Google “Best Mediterranean food I've had outside of actually being on the coast. The olive oil cake alone is worth the visit.”
Daniel K.May 2026 · OpenTable “Service was warm without being fussy, and they happily adapted several dishes to be vegan. Will absolutely be back.”
