Service 06 / 08 — Kitchen & bar
Ember & Oak
The restaurant and Glow Bar of MomentGlow. An open kitchen that runs 07:00–22:00, a bar that keeps going till 03:00, and a menu that changes when the Otago seasons do.
Food that would survive without the casino next door.
Ember & Oak exists because hotel food has a reputation, and we wanted to ruin it. The kitchen runs on whatever the Otago coast and Central Otago growers delivered that morning: blue cod, lamb, root vegetables with actual dirt on them. The wood-fired grill in the open kitchen does the heavy lifting, and the menu is short enough that the kitchen means it.
Breakfast runs till eleven because holidays deserve it. Dinner is served until ten, and room service keeps a shorter, honest list till midnight. The Glow Bar next door pours local wine, NZ craft and one very serious whisky shelf — the front desk keeps a table free for guests most nights.
