Our Story

Everything tastes better over an open flame.

Ember & Oak started with a simple idea: take the food Northern Kentucky grew up on — and cook it the oldest way there is. Our oak-fired hearth is the heart of the kitchen, and nearly everything on the menu touches the fire before it touches your table.

We source from farms within 50 miles, bake our bread every morning, and pour bourbon like we're proud of it. Because we are.
