The Craft of the Josper Hearth

At Ember Kitchen, the kitchen's pulse is driven by high-intensity wood fire. Drawing deep flavors from the glowing embers, our cooking focuses on intense heat, caramelization, and precise smoke.

Our structural interior space features a bold architectural synthesis. Surrounded by deep dark finishes, textured raw stone details, and a blooming internal sanctuary tree, diners are pulled into a warm, low-lit environment optimized for long, unhurried meals.

Guest Experiences

From Our Dining Tables

"Everything was so fresh and delicious. We loved the salmon crudo, roasted chicken, and wagyu. Our server Collin knew the menu well, gave amazing recommendations, and didn’t rush us through our meal."

Verified Diner Review ★★★★★

"The service was probably the best service we have received in a long time. My husband had the bone-in ribeye cooked to absolute perfection. I had the Josper half chicken and it was super tasty."

Anniversary Celebration ★★★★★

"Loved dining in the balcony area! The morita shrimp appetizer was delicious, and they have fresh masa tortillas to dip instead of bread which was ideal since I am gluten free. Fantastic experience."
