Dinner at EMBRYO resto/lounge/bar/club

Don’t you hate coming to a restaurant and being presented with a menu as thick as a book touting hundreds of tempting options, only to discover that the only options actually available are the mixed grill and a few soggy pizzas? Do you crave fresh seafood and exotic flavors? Have you been searching in vain for a place with style and sustenance? If so, your spoiled inner child will rejoice at Embryo – the new resto on the ground floor of the piping-hot lounge of same name.

The menu, presented in the same elegant nouveau-mod style of the interior, is blissfully short (only four or five appetizers mains and desserts each), but the options are mouth-wateringly seductive. Featuring such never-seen-in-Romania items as scallops and oysters, this is a menu that a restaurant in London or New York could be proud of. The best part is that everything tastes as good as it looks and, at least on the night we visited, all of the menu items were readily available and fresh. Maybe this is a good time to add that this is probably due to the fact that the folks behind “Casa di David” stuck their fingers in this particular kitchen. The prices may be on the steep side ("Casa di David”, hell-o!!!), but they are far more justified than those of the many restaurants that charge the same or more for their thoroughly mediocre offerings.

Although Embryo’s interior, with its white-on-white theme and organic shapes, may seem austere, it is also surprisingly comfortable. Sink into one of the round chairs that cushions your bottom like a womb and order a glass of champagne. Complete the Asian-esque meal with one of the restaurant’s delicious deserts (the apple crumb cake is a winner) and head upstairs for some fun cocktails and funky grooves. By the end of the night you might well feel born-again.
