  • As a part of a family tradition, we usually celebrate birthdays in the Village. This year we had the party at Empellon and asked if they could prepare a custom cake for the celebration. It was as absolutely great - better than our favorite local pastry shop.

  • This place is AMAZING! Originally, I was hesitant to go despite my boyfriend's persistence because he loves meat (and everything else) and I am a picky pescatarian, especially when it comes to mexican cuisine. I have to say though, everything was unique, tasty, and fresh and the experience was incredible. I strongly recommend the lobster tacos. I can't wait to go back!

    Significant improvement across the board from when i previously went. Seems as though they really listen to customer feedback.

    The service was lovely and very accomodating, the food was tasty and perfectly portioned and the cocktails did just the trick!!

  • One of the best birthdays of my life! After hearing all the talk about the food and service, I contacted the staff of Empellon back on December 1 about having my birthday dinner at their restaurant. The "Owner" got in contact with me the next day about what exactly i was looking for. I had 15 People, and needed to create a menu for food and drinks that worked for everyone. I couldn't believe what they put together! Service and foodwas astounding!
