    Ember Kitchen - Austin TX

    We normally go to one fairly high end re$taurant each trip to visit our Son, and this time it was the Ember Kitchen. They serve a lot of small shareable plates with the idea that each person order one or two to share.

    The things I remember are some spicy carrots, yucca tots, shrimp, and wagyu steak. Some house made blue tortillas also showed up, and I don't remember at least 3 items that are not listed online.

    Everything was great, and the service was exceptional, but I prefer simple instead of fancy. However, the wagyu was probably the best tasting steak I have had, and I may have to buy a couple to cook at home for some special occasion.

    They also offered an 18 oz dry aged Texas ribeye for $20/oz and we were told it was 18 oz that night. That's $360 for the math challenged. We skipped the steak. (I'm thinkin' the o/l menu must be old 'cause it lists the steak for $4/oz.

    And the staff kept mentioning that everything was cooked on their Josper oven, which I had never heard of.

    And I just realized I didn't get any photos...

    Fancy oven, just don't tell me you got perfect Maillard with grill marks.

      A bit concerned about a steak at $20/Oz if the online menu on their official website says $4/Oz. Might be worth a followup phonecall to inquire and confirm, just for curiosity sake.

      american Waygu has been seen for $6/oz , which would be in line with the non-waygu $4 price in the menu we see. A5 is usually double digits, and not in the teens.

      The Japanese beef and its hybrid cousins cater to cravings for high-end steak

        I think the o/l menu is out of date. It was missing a number of items on the current paper menu in the restaurant. And beside, they have to pay for that fancy oven.

      There is a restaurant in Breckenridge Colorado named Ember that i highly recommend. Wonder if related.

        They do not list others under "locations".
