![]() ![]() Here are some of Ember & Rye’s other foundational dishes.Ĭaviar & pancakes: Blais says this luxurious dish is his favorite on the menu, pairing caviar with creme fraiche flavored with charred embers from the outdoor grill and his take on taiyaki, Japanese fish-shaped pancakes that are typically filled with sweet red bean paste. For the sandwiches, Ember & Rye’s team presses them between white bread into circular disks that resemble Uncrustables. The snack section also includes the unexpected and playful flavor combo of radishes and white chocolate as well as pimento cheese sandwiches made to honor the Augusta National’s famous dish. The restaurant will now be able to open with nearly 200 seats, a timely advantage since there are already 100 reservations on the books every evening for the next two weeks.īlais, who describes Ember & Rye as a “not-your-parents’ country club-meets-modern steakhouse,” has set up multiple cooking stations beyond the main kitchen, including an outdoor grill on the patio and a tapas bar where chefs will prepare a rotating selection of snacks, including Blais’s trademark oysters and pearls, topped with beads of frozen leche de tigre made using his signature liquid nitrogen technique. The sighting of a shooting star could be interpreted as another piece of good fortune for the restaurant, which is lucky to have scheduled its official public opening for this Thursday, March 18, a day after the return of indoor dining to San Diego County. The North County resort, which recently underwent a $50 million-plus remodel, includes several new restaurants but none more high-profile than Blais’s follow-up to Juniper & Ivy. Speaking to Eater by phone after a recent friends and family preview, Richard Blais saw a shooting star streak across the night sky above his new restaurant Ember & Rye, which overlooks the golf club at Carlsbad’s Park Hyatt Aviara. ![]()
