The menu, the way the kitchen serves it
A short, seasonal list: small plates to begin, woodsy mains for the middle of the table and a single dessert worth saving room for. Every price below is the current price in US dollars — the same list the kitchen works from, published at /menu and changed there the moment it moves. Ember & Pine Kitchen is a fictional staging restaurant, so read every dish, price and hour on this page as synthetic demonstration content rather than a live menu.
