Our story

Cooked over fire,
served with care

Sorrel & Ember began with a simple idea: cook what the season gives us, over flame, and serve it in a room that feels like a long dinner with friends.

Our menu follows the farms we work with across the state. Nothing is rushed, from the bread we bake each morning to the last glass of the night.

Kind words
The best meal we've had all year. Warm service, a beautiful room, and that sirloin is worth crossing town for.
