ABOUT EMBER

Ember is a contemporary dining destination located in the heart of Pentagon City, just minutes from the Pentagon and Washington, D.C. Designed to balance warmth with sophistication, Ember offers an atmosphere that evolves effortlessly from daytime gatherings to late-night energy. In the daytime, the space feels bright and composed, a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere ideal for formal lunches or more relaxed gatherings. As afternoon turns to evening, the energy becomes more intimate, and the dining experience shifts toward a refined, immersive dinner service. As the night unfolds, the energy becomes more intimate and energetic, supported by a thoughtfully curated music program and dynamic lighting. Private spaces and hidden elements add depth without pretense, creating a sense of discovery for those who seek it.
