Embargo has a great tappas menu. The fish tostadas and beef stew are a must. They have an on-going 1/2 off must tappas special from 4-6 daily and all day Tuesdays. The bar is quite large and the round booths accomodate large parties well. The drinks are also fun but a bit pricey. Street parking can be a bit tricky... More

Went for drinks- they were weak. Carribean vibe was a contrast to the new England joints nearby, but I wouldn't go back for just drinks. More

I love the jazz on Thursday nights. The service is always great. I like the versatility of the menu, but my favorites are the lobster mac and cheese and the fish tacos. I like being there best when I sit in the booth with the fake fireplace in the background....that location sets the stage for a nice romantic dining experience. More

Embargo has a warm inviting, modern decor, friendly and knowlegable staff and top quality food at reasonable prices. Frequent pricing specials such as 2 for 1 or 50% off Happy Hour specials add to the value! More

Visited Embargo this weekend. We went between 4:30 and 6:00 to benefit from the half price Hot & Cold Tapas menu. The food was great- from fish tacos to kobe sliders to tempura veggies. The service was very attentive and friendly and the environment was casual with a modern, elegant lounge vibe. The live jazz duo was just setting up... More

Went to a recent party there. The food was good, but I don't think they put any booze in my rum and coke. The air conditioning was on the fritz so we were all sweltering. Had dinner last night there and they would not let me use the gift certificate for a cup of soup I desired and so we... More

I am overdue for this review. We just went again in September and as usual the tapas were outstanding. Their lobster mac & cheese is to die for. We also tried their sushi for the first time and it was wonderful too. The presentation was on par with the taste and everything was cooked to perfection. We've been coming here... More

Came here in September because our usual place had too long of a wait. Very impressed with atmosphere and the bar was beautiful. Drinks were tasty and strong, I got a specialty martini (something with pineapple, champagne in it) we came in for half price apps but ended up indulging in sushi. All the food was excellent, fast service and... More
