Our Story
Started With Fire,
Built on Community
Chef Daniel Asaro spent a decade in kitchens across the East Coast before coming home to Havenport with one idea: build a restaurant around a wood-fired hearth and the farmers who grow the food.
Ember & Vine opened in 2019 with a 12-seat counter and a burning oak oven. Today we seat 80 — but the philosophy hasn't changed.

Every Dish Tells
a Story
"We don't just cook with fire — we cook with place. Every plate starts with a conversation with the people who grew it."
