OUR STORY

Born from fire.
Made for people.

THE BEGINNING

A neighborhood restaurant with a world of influence.

Chef Elena Marlow opened Ember & Table with one clear belief: serious cooking should still feel generous, warm and alive.

Our food draws from the diversity of New York, the abundance of American farms and the timeless ritual of cooking over flame.

We buy at peak season and let exceptional produce lead every plate.

Polished, intuitive service without formality or distance.

Responsible sourcing, low-waste practices and enduring local partnerships.

EXECUTIVE CHEF

“The best dishes feel inevitable—nothing added without purpose, nothing missing.”

After kitchens in Chicago, Copenhagen and San Francisco, Elena returned to New York to create a restaurant rooted in craft, curiosity and warmth.
