Our Story

A table set for everyone

Ember & Olive began with a simple idea: the best meals happen around a fire, with food meant to be passed hand to hand.

Our kitchen draws on the coasts of Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, Spain and Southern Italy, using produce from Santa Clara Valley farms and olive oil pressed just up the road. Every dish touches the wood-fired hearth or the charcoal grill — because smoke is an ingredient too.

12+local farm partners

The lamb skewers were the best thing I ate all year. Warm service, gorgeous room, and the olive oil cake is dangerous.
