Our Story

Rooted in tradition. Inspired by the Mediterranean.

At Ember & Olive, every dish is created with seasonal ingredients, open-fire cooking, and a passion for bringing people together around unforgettable food.

We source from local farmers and coastal fishmongers, cook over live olive-wood fire, and believe that the best meals are slow, shared, and made with intention. Our menu shifts with the seasons — never a repeat, always a discovery.
