Food Cooked Over Fire.
Nothing Hidden.

Ember & Oak was built on one idea: that the best ingredients don't need tricks. They need heat, timing, and respect. We cook with live wood fire, source from eight local farms, and change the menu every six weeks.

No trends, no foam, no elaborate technique for its own sake. Just honest food that happens to be extraordinary.

Chef Elena Vasquez

Elena spent six years cooking in open-fire kitchens in Argentina and southern Spain before returning to Michigan to open Ember & Oak.

"An ingredient at its peak needs almost nothing. Our job is to not ruin it."

Every dish has been refined through hundreds of iterations. Elena teaches quarterly cooking classes and donates 5% of proceeds to local food security programs.
