Maybe the owners need to do a little stroll around the area... Embre has the most expensive menu offers - lunch 'specials' in particular - in this part of town. 80rmb for a sandwich? We visited Embre a few times when it had its previous location on Changshu. It had its cool garden location going for it. This Julu location does not have much going for it. Service is just unacceptable. We were the only two guests (at 1230 mid-week... that should have been a sign). And we had to ask for water three times, before one of five available staff bothered. Food took forever to arrive, for which we were told that "the kitchen is busy'. Hah... Seeing staff take a break - what else is there to do - didn't help convince that this venue is serious about its patronage. When we asked for a manager there was - of course - no one available. Ridiculous how they stay in business.

They can't handle a big crowd. We booked the whole of upstairs, there were more than 20 of us. One friend ordered first but his order came out last, that was 1 hour later for a seafood pasta. The boss didn't do anything went we told her about this.

I enjoyed the food and the old french concession ambience outside, with locals sticking their heads in and asking how much the food is. A tat pricey but good quality.

I had a great lunch here. It's not super polished but the food was very good and not unreasonable. They could crank the air con a bit more but I would go back for sure.
