What They're
Saying

New York Times • 2023

"Ember does something that should be impossible: it makes barbecue feel like fine dining without removing a single thing that makes barbecue great. The wagyu brisket alone justifies the trip downtown."

Food critic, NYT Dining
Eater NY • 2024

"The tasting menu is a masterclass in restraint. Seven courses built around fire and smoke, none of them overwrought. The bone marrow course is the best thing I ate in New York last year."

Senior Editor, Eater NY
Guest Review • Google

"We booked the Coal Room for our team dinner. Chef came out mid-meal and walked us through the tasting menu. The short rib was extraordinary. We have a standing quarterly booking now."
