45-Day Dry-Aged Ribeye
$68Creekstone Farms prime beef aged in-house with Himalayan salt. Grilled over white oak coals, roasted marrow jus, smoked butter.
An upscale contemporary culinary sanctuary celebrating open wood-fire hearth gastronomy, 48-hour fermented heritage grains, and regenerative seasonal harvests.
Founded by Chef Patron Julian Mercer, Ember & Grain was born from a singular culinary conviction: the greatest flavors in gastronomy emerge when human intuition honors the elemental forces of natural wood fire and heritage cereal grains.
We avoid industrial kitchen short-cuts. Every cut of dry-aged beef, whole Atlantic black cod, and wild-foraged root vegetable is kissed by the white oak embers of our custom hearth. Our sourdough starter has been nurtured for eight years, fed exclusively with organic stone-ground spelt and einkorn from regenerative Hudson Valley mills.
“Fire is not merely a cooking method; it is an active ingredient with its own memory, aroma, and soul.”
Guiding our kitchen, bakery, and reserve cellar with rigorous classical technique and ancestral soul.
