Maple & Char

Modern American · Open-Fire Grill

Our Menu

Nearly everything here meets hardwood coals at some point. Sides and sweets are made from scratch daily, and the vegetables change with what local growers have ready.

Starters

Meant for the middle of the table. Ask for extra bread — we won't judge.

Charred sourdough flatbread with whipped ricotta, blistered tomatoes and basil on a rustic wooden table

Ember Flatbread

Vegetarian
