Wood-fired fine dining in Portland

Fire, smoke, and patience.

EMBER & OAK serves a seasonal tasting menu built around live fire, slow reduction, preserved harvests, and quiet tableside details.

The room

A cellar-warm dining room for deliberate evenings.

The kitchen works with alder coal, ember-roasted stock, smoked butter, and produce from farms within 90 miles. Each plate is paced for conversation: concentrated sauces, charred edges, clean acidity, and a final spoonful that lingers.

Signature courses

Three ways through the fire.

Chef Daniel Moss in the EMBER & OAK kitchen

Chef Daniel Moss

“Fire is not a flavor by itself. It is a way to ask an ingredient to slow down and tell the truth.”

Daniel Moss leads a ten-person kitchen with a focus on ember roasting, aged vinegars, whole-animal butchery, and restrained plating. His current menu changes every six weeks.
