Went to Embargo last evening for a small Birthday celebration. Our server, Jessica M, was fantastic. We decided to share a few plates of tapas, and the food was terrific! There was entertainment, and we even got to dance to a couple of songs. A winner of a night, thank you to Embargo!

Food, service and ambiance was excellent. They had live entertainment and that was also fantastic. Looking forward to going back again! Everything was amazing- particularly loved the lobster ravioli , but hard to choose my favorite dish because everything has always been top notch!

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.
