Unsure what went wrong when we went here. The night we went the atmosphere was very dull, and the exposed decour is interesting. Food was something I could have paid half the price for, but nothing wrong with it. Would much prefer one of the other restaurants in Hamilton with better food, atmosphere and value.

We have dined at Embargo four times now in the past 2 years and not once have we had a less than wonderful experience. In the first visit I had a fantastic seared Yellow Fin Tuna entrée which I have not tasted the equal of since. The second time my wife and I visited with another couple for their degustation... More

We ate here as part of a conference function. So it was a set menu but the food and service were excellent. Atmosphere was also very good. Can certainly recomend Em-Bar-Go.

Very special occasion for us, so pleased to get a very good meal for us both. The menu was uncluttered and I must say I could have ordered anything from the menu and been happy. Presentation of the food was excellent, only grumble I had was that main was served about 3 minutes after entrée was cleared. It's not often... More

My husband and I visited Embargo last week for a mid-week meal. We were using "GrabOne" vouchers which provided breads, a bottle of Haha wine, two mains and chocolate truffles, a very good deal. The breads were most enjoyable, accompanied by a smoked salmon spread. We both succumbed to a delicious duck dish and ordered an extra side of green... More

This is a really top notch place...Service is execellent. Food was devine. A really good atmosphere. Located near the Alexandra St end of Garden Place, you can dine out front in a sectioned off area and has an outdoor fireplace as an added touch. Loved the coffee as a finishing touch...Waddled off to the casino after, thoroughly replete! AAAAA.

I have been to EM>BAR>GO several times and never been dissapointed, a husband and wife own and operate, husband is the chef and wife is meets and greets you. They have a wonderful team of staff working with them and there is always smiles and laughter and of course amaizing food, my mother used to serve me diamond rice risotto... More
