Customer Reviews
This review is better late than never, because if you are interested in dining here you are going to have to wait until this fall, as Embark was a seasonal pop up brought to you by the folks who own and run The Dolphin Restaurant and Marina. The last weekend was 3/27. But if your willing to wait, you will be well rewarded. The food, start to finish, was simply spectacular. Excellent craft cocktails, wonderful appetizers, amazing main courses, and delicious desserts. Honestly, one of the best meals we had anywhere. They are very pandemic conscious, and we felt confidante enough to eat here two weekends in a row. Ask for the chefs table, the work that goes into each dish, the presentation, is really something to watch. The owners closed the restaurant for now, but definitly plans to reopen
Wow! I heard this place was good so my expectations were high. We made a last minute reservation so we had what might be the least desirable table, but it gave us an up-close view of the kitchen so we saw the attention to detail given to each dish. We ordered an appetizer with lobster, spaetzle, and panko and it was just perfect. I would have been completely satisfied with just that, and bang for the buck was totally reasonable. The spicy margarita was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy with a really nice flavor. Our entrees were the pork bolognese and seared salmon, and wow, they were just amazing. The salmon was crispy outside with a perfectly cooked, tender inside. The sauce and other items on the plate had a flavor that complimented the salmon beyond my expectations. I had a taste of t
Mostly pretty good. Citrus something cocktail tasted like a hard lemonade. Good and stronger than it tasted. Brussels salad was subtle but addictive. Steak, green beans and mash - Steak slightly under seasoned but cooked well. Short ribs - Short rib was fine but I couldn’t help thinking it needed some sort of sauce over it. The stroganoff sauce for the pasta was under seasoned and bland.
Nice intimate restaurant. Friendly staff. Get there early. Great burger!!! They grind their own meat. Oddly they don't serve fries, but instead roasted finger potatoes. I also recommend their Ruben, too.
The food was excellent. Had the duck special. It was cooked perfectly and the gnocchi were soft pillows. Also recommend the pork belly appetizer. Our waitress was outstanding to complete our dinning experience
