Needs a 3 1/2 star. Service was good but the decor and atmosphere don’t appeal. It’s very sterile – maybe ok for business but not for romance or even a relaxing night out.

I also found the prices were quite expensive, e.g. $18 for 5 medium-sized peeled prawn tails in tomato sauce as an entree. Neither of us can recall the other entree ordered so maybe it was not very memorable?

Mains were around $35. I had the pork belly which was very pleasant and although it looked very small, it was sufficiently rich to leave me feeling satiated. My partner had the paella which unfortunately was quite disappointing with little flavour. Would not order again. Sides were extra to order. We didn’t.

We finished by sharing the trio of desserts which were very good.

One beer, one glass of wine. All up, about $165.

I went to Embargo for dinner last night and though it was great! I had the lamb and my partner had the spagetti and meats balls both meals were yummy! Followd by a delicious baked alaska desert. Great service!! Will deffinitly be back

I’ve been to this place quite a few times and the service has been from one extreme to another. Food always pretty good. Last time I went was on 2/4/11. We received a really good service. The wait staff was very polite. My husband had Pork Belly and it was absolutely amazing. When I put that piece of pork into my mouth, it simply sent me away to the happy place and I couldn’t stop smiling. I had Paella on the other hand it was not anywhere near Pork dish. It got no taste like it wasn’t seasoned so I was pretty disappointed with that. In overall the portion of food was very small with high price. I am happy to pay that much for great dish like pork though but definitely not paella, the one I had last time.

Food and service was great. Had the fish of day and duck. Tasted great. Atmosphere was more cafe style than fine dining as advertised in certain places.

What a treat, we had the lunch special today tuna pappadelle, amazingly flavoured and perfectly cooked pasta, with an attentive, smiling service and a very nice presented sticky date pudding.
delightful lunch on Hamilton’s garden place!

Great Food & Service,been many times & looking forward too getting back there

Went for Brunch and it was absolutely devine! 3 out of 4 of us altered our meals to suit our personal tastes and it wasn’t a problem for the chef. Service was great as well.

My partner and I had dinner at Embargo a few weeks ago and found the whole experience to be wonderful!!! The meal was beautiful, the wine that was suggested to us was perfect and the service was fantastic!!
Thank you Embargo for such a lovely relaxed dining experience.
