About the restaurant

Ember Wood Fired Grill features a locally inspired menu with a casual upscale setting. Our Chef, Christopher Gouzie, best describes our menu as "Globally Inspired". It features familiar dishes with a twist. "We use new and interesting ingredients, and different cooking procedures to introduce our guests to a unique way to present food."

We have taken this same concept for our Specialty Cocktail list. Deviating from the classic recipe with housemade syrups, specialty bitters, and high end liquors and liqueurs.

Enjoy our sleek downstairs dining room, outdoor covered terrace, or upstairs bourbon room, where we house over 100 whiskeys on selection, and offer over 20 wines by the glass and bottle.

We regularly host private events, and therefor reservations are recommended.

Great food!!! Lots of GF options including a GF chocolate cake. I had the scallops with risotto. The scallops were cooked perfectly. Most meals have a spicy zip to them. I asked for my chili vinaigrette on the side and I am glad I did. Our server was excellent, attentive and engaging.

Sourcing from local producers is of utmost importance to Brian and freshness is a requirement. If you have any allergies or dietary requirements, please do not hesitate to ask as we are always willing to accommodate.
At this time, we offer both our dinner menu and a more casual lounge menu and of course our fabulous breakfast every morning. The Alpine Lounge is open from 4pm-9pm daily. Food is offered in the lounge Sunday-Thursday 4pm-9pm and Saturdays & Sundays from 4pm-9pm. Please be aware that these menus can change at the last minute due to availability of certain foods during this time and we look at this as a good thing - there could always be something new on the menu!

Easter Sunday Brunch was amazing. From the moment we arrived we were greeted but a delightful hostess who sat us quickly at a wonderful table with a view of the mountains. Our server was Haley was very knowledgeable and you could tell she had a strong grasp of today’s entire menu. Her guidance was welcomed and appreciated! We never felt rushed or pressured to accelerate what was planned to be a very relaxing brunch with close friends! Food quality, portion size and presentation did not disappoint. We will be returning soon for another wonderful dinning experience! Thank you👍

The food at TReNTA is always the best. The desserts are fantastic. Not a very noisy place. And our server Leah was really fantastic. She made it a very enjoyable evening.

It was the first warm evening to be outside at sunset. We called ahead to ask for a table outside. James was our waiter, excellent service. The food was exceptional and we watched how the staff cross covered service. The manager greeted us and we thanked her for a wonderful evening.
