EMBER&OLIVE

Lantern Row · Est. in a fictional city

A seasonal dining
room above the
old market.

Twenty-two seats, one menu written each morning, and produce that arrives from four farms within a day’s drive. We cook what the week gives us and stop when the kitchen is done.

The room

Built for the
long evening.

The room is small on purpose. Twenty-two covers means the kitchen can speak to every table, and you will never be seated behind someone else’s conversation.

We open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner Wednesday onward. The menu changes whenever the kitchen wants it to, which is usually every few days.

Everything is cooked over vine wood and seasoned with salt we bring back from the coast. Nothing is held back for a photograph — if it is not good enough for the pass, it is not good enough for you.

Kitchen

Wood-fired, single pass
