Our Story
Cooking with Patience, Flame & Soul
Ember & Stone was born from a simple belief — the best food in the world comes from fire, time, and respect for the ingredient. Our chefs trained across the Mediterranean coast: Lisbon, Naples, Beirut, Athens.
Every dish begins with a question: what is perfect right now? We source daily from Hudson Valley farms, partner with Atlantic fishermen, and import the wines personally each season. Nothing frozen. Nothing compromised.
"Fire is our oldest tool. We treat it as such — with reverence, patience, and absolute focus."

Stories from Our Table
"Absolutely the finest dining experience I've had in New York in years. The wood-fired sea bass was transcendent — I keep thinking about it weeks later. The sommelier pairing was perfect."

"Brought my wife here for our anniversary. Layla's burnt Basque cheesecake came with a candle and a handwritten note. The staff remembered every detail. Truly exceptional service."

"As a vegetarian, I was worried I'd be stuck with limited options. Instead I had one of the best meals of my life. The wild mushroom flatbread and charred broccolini were incredible."

"The 42-day dry-aged ribeye is among the best steaks I've ever eaten. The ambiance is dark, warm, and impossibly cool without being pretentious. I'll be back next week."
