Good food is mostly patience. Let the fire do its work, season it well, and sit down with people you like.

Our Story
since 2014Emberwood started with a secondhand oven and a short menu. Mara and Tomas spent two years selling plates at farmers markets before they found the old brick building on Marlow Street. The idea has not changed since day one. Simple food, cooked slowly, served without fuss.
We still bake our bread every morning, break down whole fish, and change the menu when the seasons do. Some things are worth doing the long way. Dinner at Emberwood tends to prove it, one table at a time.

Our menu
Starters off the grill, mains from the fire, and desserts worth saving room for. The menu reads even better with a table booked on the other side of it.

Kind words
From our guests
We came in for a birthday dinner and left with a new favorite spot. The ribeye alone is worth the drive across town, and the staff treated us like regulars from the minute we sat down.

Birthday dinner
Cozy room, kind people, and the fried chicken is genuinely dangerous. I have been thinking about it for three days straight. We are already planning our next visit.

Booked for our anniversary and they remembered it was our third time this year. That kind of thing keeps us coming back. The whole experience felt personal and unrushed.
