Our story

Since 2016, Olive & Ember has been cooking over a live fire on Barton Springs Road, letting seasonal, locally sourced ingredients lead the way. The wood-fired flavors speak for themselves, and the warm room makes it easy to settle in and stay a while.

We pair an honest wine list with food that reflects what is actually good right now. Whether you come in for a weeknight dinner or a long weekend brunch, this is a place built for lingering.
