Private Dining
Ember & Bone houses three private dining rooms — from intimate ten-seat chef's tables to a full buyout of our 60-person vault room. Each room is available for corporate dinners, rehearsal events, and milestone celebrations.
Our original 1920s bank vault — exposed limestone walls, arched ceilings, a dedicated bar. Exclusive buyout only.
Floor-to-ceiling mahogany shelves, fireplace, ambient candlelight. Perfect for corporate dinners and product launches.
Direct sight-lines into the kitchen. A behind-the-scenes experience with a dedicated kitchen liaison and custom tasting menu.
Our Story
Ember & Bone opened in 2009 with a single conviction: that the most extraordinary thing you can serve someone is a piece of beef that has been patiently, obsessively cared for. Not finished in two weeks. Not sourced from a broker. Dry-aged in-house, from cattle we know by name and ranch.
Our dry-aging program runs 28-to-60-day cycles in a custom-built Himalayan salt-lined chamber on the premises. During that time, moisture evaporates, enzymes break down muscle fibre, and flavour compounds concentrate into something you can only achieve with time and discipline. No shortcuts exist.
We source exclusively from four heritage Angus and Wagyu ranches — two in Nebraska, one in Colorado, one in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. We visit each ranch at least once a year. We know the feed, the land, and the people. That knowledge comes through in every bite.
