Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know before your evening at the hearth.

Each evening at Emberline unfolds as a five-course tasting menu cooked entirely over our open wood-fired hearth. Courses are determined by what is freshest and most alive that day -- you will know the full menu when you arrive. We seat all eight guests simultaneously and pace the meal over roughly two to two-and-a-half hours.

We are happy to navigate most dietary needs with advance notice. Please note your restrictions in the Special Requests field when booking. Because our kitchen revolves around fire and seasonal product, some courses may be adjusted or substituted. We cannot accommodate severe shellfish or tree nut allergies in our shared hearth environment.

Our wine pairing is a curated selection of four to five low-intervention, natural, and biodynamic pours chosen by our sommelier to complement each course. Pairings change weekly alongside the menu. You may request an optional non-alcoholic pairing of house ferments, botanical shrubs, and cold-pressed juices instead.

Reservations may be cancelled or rescheduled without charge up to 48 hours before your seating. Cancellations within 48 hours are subject to a $65 per-person cancellation fee. No-shows are charged the full menu price. We understand that life happens -- if you reach out before your reservation, we will always do our best to find a solution.

Absolutely. Because we seat only eight guests around a single hearth, Emberline is naturally intimate and well-suited for birthdays, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations. You may reserve the full table for a private buyout -- contact us directly to discuss. We are happy to coordinate a special amuse-bouche or dessert presentation for the occasion.

We have no formal dress code -- wear what makes you feel present and unhurried. Most guests dress smart-casual. Because you will be seated close to an open fire, we advise against delicate fabrics or anything precious to you. The light in the room is warm and low, so wear what makes you feel at ease in that kind of atmosphere.

Emberline is located in Portland, Oregon. Street parking is available in the neighborhood, and several covered lots are within a short walk. We also encourage guests to arrive by rideshare -- the experience includes wine and we want everyone to travel safely. Detailed arrival instructions are included in your confirmation email.
