Our Story

Born from a love of fire and flavor

Ember & Oak started in 2017 with a simple belief: food tastes better when it's cooked with real fire, using ingredients from people we trust.

We source from local farms within 50 miles of our kitchen. Our menu changes with the seasons because nature knows best.

Every dish is cooked over an open wood flame — oak, cherry, and applewood — giving each plate a depth of flavor you won't find anywhere else in Portland.

"
Cooking over fire isn't a technique — it's a conversation between the chef, the wood, and the ingredient. You have to listen to it.

"The dry-aged ribeye changed my life. I'm not exaggerating. The smoky flavor, the tenderness — nothing else compares. We come back every month now."

"Best restaurant in Portland, hands down. The seasonal menu means there's always something new to try. The charred octopus is a must."
