About Ember & Oak

A restaurant that started with a fire.

Ember & Oak began with a simple conviction: food cooked over live fire just tastes better. We built the kitchen around an open hearth, then built the rest of the restaurant around the kind of nights that fire seems to create — slow, warm, and a little bit magic.

Our chef sources from farms, fishers, and foragers across the Lowcountry, so the menu is never quite the same two weeks running. What arrives at its peak is what you'll find on the card — coaxed along by oak smoke, good salt, and a cook's patience.

What we believe

A great meal is equal parts the plate and the welcome. Our job is to cook honestly, pour thoughtfully, and make sure you never feel rushed — whether it's a Tuesday for two or a private celebration for thirty.
