About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
  • Neighbourhood gem
Ember & Oak was created around a simple idea: Some of the best moments happen around a table.

Set among the rolling landscape of The Grove at Whites Creek, just minutes from downtown Nashville, Ember & Oak is a neighborhood restaurant with a destination feel - a place where thoughtful food, warm hospitality and an unhurried atmosphere come together.

Our approach is rooted in the flavors and hospitality of the South, but we are not afraid to wander a little. Our menu pairs familiar ingredients with fresh ideas, seasonal inspiration and the kind of dishes you'll find yourself thinking about long after dinner is over.

    Our food was tasty! We ordered the filet & chicken fried chicken. Both very good. The roasted sweet potatoes were amazing. Probably my favorite. The cornbread itself was good, but we didn't care for the butter that came on it. Overall, everything was good and we'll be back.

    Brunch foods were really good, wish there were more menu items, heavy on egg dishes. Everyone enjoyed their food. Enjoyed the music session.

    We live local and we were excited to check out this new restaurant; we had a party of 4. Our server, Didi, was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and distinctive. We ordered a wide selection: catfish tacos, zucchini fries, filet, pizza, gnocchi, and most of the sides. Everything was cooked to perfection. They even brought out a free sample of a melon gazpacho to start us off. Love when places add nice touches like that. A member of the party has dietary restrictions and the server + chef provided any details we needed (in addition to menu markings) to make sure everything was safe. A bonus: This establishment has it clearly marked when there is live music, so we know to come or not come during those times depending on our mood. I love a good band, but I also enjoy being able to converse with our party. This time, it was music free, and we enjoyed a quiet evening with friends, catching up without having to yell across the table. Perfect!

    Enjoyed brunch on their opening weekend. Still thinking about the hash brown casserole. Appreciated the owners saying hello and checking to see what my experience was like. Look forward to visiting again and enjoy more good food and live music.

    Brunch was amazing! We loved the live music, and the staff was so kind to us and our toddler. We can’t wait to come back for dinner.

    We went for opening weekend and had a wonderful meal. The Chicken Fried Chicken was delicious and the serving size was generous. We also had Steak and Frites which came out medium rare with a delicious seasoned edge. Dessert was hard to choose but we went with the peanut butter brownie and ice cream! In addition to delicious food, there was excellent music from a local artist, and the hospitality was spot on. We will be back and highly recommend Ember & Oak!
