Oak hearth flames at Ember & Salt
Our story

Built around one fire, not a menu of gadgets.

Ember & Salt opened in 2014 with a single oak hearth and a short list of ideas: cook honestly, source from the coast, and let the fire do most of the seasoning. Everything since has grown from that hearth outward.

No fryers, no microwaves, no shortcuts β€” just embers, cast iron, and a kitchen that closes when the coals do.

Meet the chef

Chef Marisol Reyes

Raised in a fishing town, trained in wood-fire kitchens up and down the coast, Marisol runs the hearth the way her grandmother ran a beach bonfire β€” by feel, not by timer.
