Our story
Simple ingredients. Memorable moments.
Ember & Olive was created around a simple idea: exceptional food should feel generous, welcoming, and full of character. Our menus change with the seasons and celebrate trusted local producers.
Rooted in the season
Menus evolve throughout the year to reflect the best produce available.
Made for sharing
Relaxed plates, generous portions, and an atmosphere designed for good company.
