Ember & Oak is a wood-fired kitchen in Houston Heights, built around seasonal ingredients, an open flame, and a room made for lingering.
A few of the plates that keep people coming back.
36oz, dry-aged, charred over live oak.
Fingerling potato, calabrian chili, lemon.
House-made pasta, sage, aged parmesan.
"We cook everything over live fire — it's slower, but you can taste the difference."
Ember & Oak opened in 2021 with one idea: build the whole menu around the wood-fired grill. Every dish, from the vegetables to the ribeye, passes through live fire before it reaches the table.
A look inside the dining room and kitchen.
Walk-ins welcome at the bar. For dining room seating, we recommend reserving ahead — especially Friday and Saturday.
