Ember & Rye
Portland,
Oregon
Cooked over oak.
A wood-fired restaurant & wine bar. Fire in the hearth, living wine in the glass, and a room that asks you to stay a while.

Chapter I — The Fire
Wood-fired dinner.
No gas. No dial. Just oak, time, and whoever is tending the coals.
Everything we serve passes through the hearth — bread at the start of service, vegetables laid straight into the coals, birds and fish over a low bed of embers. The fire sets the pace of the night, and we let it. What reaches your table carries a little of that smoke with it.

Chapter III — The Cellar
Natural wine.
A short, restless cellar — every bottle alive, none of them around for long.
Wines farmed gently and bottled with a light hand, poured by people who actually drink them. If you don't see your usual, that is rather the point. Ask what is open — there is always something we could not resist.
Drink it by the fire →Chapter IV — The Room
One long room, lit low.
Limewashed walls, Oregon white oak worn smooth by elbows, and a hearth that never fully goes out. Tables close enough to feel the hum of the night, far enough to keep your secrets.
The room — yours by the hour, or the evening
The far end draws its curtain.
Private dining
And becomes its own evening — one long table, the fire in view, the cellar within reach. Birthdays, small weddings, meetings that deserve better lighting. Mention private dining in your booking note and we will take it from there.
