We enjoyed our food and the service was good however it was so loud we could barely have a conversation with the other couple we were dining with. Why does a restaurant think it is helpful to such loud music in the background that diners need to practice lip-reading? We'll not go back.

First time I’ve been disappointed here in a while. Service stunk. Felt rushed. Food was great as always but service was really bad. Waiter was rushing us and not very polite and food came out very slow. Rare occurrence for an experience at Embargo.

Portions were overpriced and very small for the quality of food . The crème brûlée was cold and a tiny scoop of ice cream for $7 was outrageous.. left there still hungry . Mushrooms were so tiny and overcooked and the cheese they melted on there was horrible and left a bitter taste
