Where Fire
Meets Finesse
A steakhouse built on craft, fire, and a reverence for the ingredient.
Our Philosophy
Every dish that leaves our kitchen begins with a single question: does this do justice to what the land provided? We source exclusively from family-owned ranches, farms, and fisheries — partners we visit, not vendors we email.
Our wood-fired hearth burns white oak and cherry, chosen for the smoke profile they lend to each cut. Every dish is a conversation between heat, time, and restraint.
We don't over-garnish. We don't over-explain. We trust the ingredient — and we trust you.
Marcus DeLeon
Chef Marcus has spent two decades in Michelin-starred kitchens across Paris, Copenhagen, and New York before bringing his fire-forward philosophy to Chicago. At Ember & Stone, he leads a kitchen that believes cooking is an act of devotion — not decoration.
"I cook the way I want to eat — honestly, without apology."
