Fine Dining · New York City · Est. 2012
An intimate dining experience crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients, open-fire cooking, and the soul of a modern kitchen.
Ember & Oak was born from a simple obsession: what happens when you strip a dish back to its raw, honest ingredients and let fire do the talking? Founded in 2012 by childhood friends and culinary partners Marcus Laurent and Elena Rossi, our restaurant began as a 28-seat supper club in the West Village and has since grown into one of Manhattan's most acclaimed dining destinations.
Our philosophy is rooted in provenance — every cut of meat, every foraged herb, every hand-pressed olive oil is sourced from farms and producers we know by name. We change our menu weekly to honour the rhythm of the seasons, and our open-fire kitchen ensures every dish arrives with the honesty of flame and smoke.
We recommend booking at least 3 days in advance. For same-day reservations, please call us directly.
We'll confirm your table within 30 minutes via email. See you soon.

Call to OrderOur catering team brings the full Ember & Oak experience to your location — from intimate private dinners of 10 to corporate events of 300. We handle everything from menu planning to service.
"An evening at Ember & Oak is less a dinner and more a narrative — one you find yourself retelling for weeks afterward. The Wagyu course alone changed how I think about beef."
"A genuinely rare find. The tasting menu is impeccably paced, the wine list is serious without being pretentious, and the service feels personal rather than performative."
"We booked the private dining room for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Thoughtful touches everywhere — from the personalised menu cards to the flowers. Truly unforgettable."
"Chef Marcus has an extraordinary ability to create dishes that feel simultaneously familiar and completely new. The lamb rack was transcendent — I'm already planning my return."
"The vegan tasting menu rivals anything I've had in its class. This isn't an afterthought — it's a full, beautiful statement about what plant-based fine dining can be."
Fire is unpredictable, ancient, and unforgiving — which is exactly what makes it so compelling. Chef Marcus walks us through the evolution of our hearth kitchen.
