The Ember atmosphere

A quietly dramatic dining room, designed for lingering

High ceilings, linen-draped tables, and the open glow of our woodfired hearth set the tone for evenings that feel both welcoming and wonderfully composed.

Design & setting

Rustic-modern timber, soft upholstery, and considered lighting create an intimate ambience that remains relaxed, never rushed.

Service & pacing

Our team choreographs each course with care, balancing attentive guidance with space for conversation and connection.

Private evenings in The Hearth Card Lounge

An intimate salon for weekend card gatherings

Hidden just beyond the main dining room, The Hearth Card Lounge is a dedicated space for live, in-person card evenings. Low lighting, generously spaced tables, and a softly spoken soundtrack create the perfect backdrop for friendly matches and long-form play.

  • Tailored seating for small groups and hosted tables
  • Dedicated beverage service with our full cocktail and wine list
  • Available for private bookings and special celebrations
