I might be coming at a wrong time, because i book for dinner and it was full house. Sounds of music, people talking, and if you expect you can talk nicely intimate with your partner and enjoying the food to maximum, you might consider looking for a non peak hour to visit this restaurant. We order several dishes and some dishes are really stand out. Their sourdough, simply best! I did love sydney’s best sourdough coming from PIOIK, but this sourdough is even better than the one i usually eat in sydney. Their cucumber pickled feta chesse are really refreshing, nice balance. The quince ice cream also delicious. Nice texture and the balance of sweetness is perfect. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

With a lovely atmosphere, chic decor and fabulous wine list; Embla is perfect for an intimate date night. <br/ <br/ We were fortunate enough to dine here on a busy Saturday night, and the place was busy and bustling. After a delicious glass of wine we enjoyed several tasting plates including a beautifully fresh tuna carpaccio, a divine mushroom and ricotta dish, and a more substantial herbed lamb backstrap with roasted cauliflower. All the dishes were presented well, and the taste was amazing. Some crunchy toast was perfect for eating with our yummy tapas style plates. I really enjoy this kind of relaxed dining, as it makes you focus more on your company and you can enjoy the environment more. <br/ <br/ Staff were lovely and accommodating and great at recommending both wines and dishes to try, and this definitely contributed to a fabulous experience overall. It's easy to see why Embla has the fantastic reputation that it has, and I'm so glad that I got to try it for myself.

As with a number of establishments, bookings aren't possible at night so its pot luck. Fortunately we didn't have to wait long. The ambience is fabulous, the service was excellent. The food was always a surprise do not miss the chickpea pancake. We also had pork jowl which was marvellous. The drink list is very eclectic. A great buzzy place do go!

Ambiance wise, the place is really good for a wine bar. Huge and very interesting selection of wine available. Dietary and food requirement are very well taken care of. Few loud neighbours but cannot complain because of a busy night. Also got to know<br/ about interesting weekend lunch menus. Over all experience was excellent. Cannot wait to visit again.<br/ #goodfoodgoodwine.

The food is really good, we had: sourd cucumber (excellent), goats crumbled (excellent), chickpea pancake (the parsley was a bit overlaid and the pancake was a bit burned, but still a good dish) and finally the mussels (big but ready for a "heavy" dish). Service is good when sometimes a little slow, but we were so understandable there during Friday lunch.

One improvement, adding a vegan dessert to the menu. Apart from that just a amazing dining experience in the cbd. Photos don’t justify.

We ordered 3 starter dishes and were quite full by the end of it. The highlight was the house made bread incredibly fresh and soft which went beautifully with the dip.

There is an open kitchen that is great if you want to know how the plates are made and served. The wine list has many options and good references, for every taste. The food is also really nice and fresh, but careful the portions are not so big for some of the plates. 2 starters and 2 main parts are perfect for two people. Thank you for this beautiful moment we will be back!?
