  • Ember Brunch

    Multiple dates available
    Ember Kitchen’s Josper oven will be firing up a little earlier on the weekends. The historic power plant turned latin-inspired restaurant will open its doors from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. The Ember Brunch brings a whole new food and beverage experience to our guests. Utilizing our signature method of incorporating a Josper component into every dish and elevating homestyle foods from various cultures, we have created a menu that showcases nostalgic names and bold latin flavors. This new service will feature tableside coffee and tea service, as well as a cocktail program that plays on morning classics such as bloody maria's, micheladas, and carajillos—perfect for Sunday brunch.

    Our server was the best, personable, easy to talk to, great suggestions and enjoyed working there. My wife’s halibut was perfectly cooked although a little salty, that “might” be a thing in Texas because we found the same thing at a couple of nice restaurants throughout the years. I had the pork chop for the first time ever in a restaurant for fear that they (any restaurant) would over cook it and it would be dry, to my surprise this pork chop was excellent, but maybe a little too salty too. With that said I would recommend this restaurant but like all foods taste it before adding any condiments or spice, It’s delicious how it is. Or tell your server you’re on a reduced Salt diet and request minimal salt.
