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 after the Dolphins season has finished. So mark this on your calendar. You can thank me later.

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 the bolognese and the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the dish had a wonderful flavor. I very much look forward to coming back! Very worth a visit!

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

They have shut down for the season so they could go over to The Dolphin. The food was very very good. The only complaint would be the temperature inside, it was awfully hot. The two of us ordered our plates to share which was – two appetizers and an entree along with one marg and two beers (our bill came out to be around $100).. Was worth every penny though. Glad we got to try it out the day before they closed down!

Delicious food and great ambiance. Got the pork belly lollipops and the flavor and texture were amazing. Prompt service, strong drinks and clean (safe!) atmosphere. Will return again soon!

Perfect already. We got takeout on their second day and were very impressed. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food was ready at the time they said it would be. It was presented beautifully and everything was delicious. A real win for Brunswick!
