Absolutely loved the service, food was unbelievaby yummy and 5 star! Thank the chef for us. The atmosphere was comfortable. The only complaint is the music type and the level of it being played. It really took away from a lot of the experience and it forced people to talk louder. Which made it difficult to enjoy the experience fully.

I went for my first time Friday night. I sat at the bar. I ordered off of the hot Tapas menu. I started with the Burgundy Escargot. I ordered the Churrasco steak and Gambas Shrimp thanks to my excellent server Marissa helping me to decide. I also had the roasted Brussel Sprouts. Marissa was so attentive and friendly as well as David and Viviana who worked as a great team at the bar. Great food and atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Our first time at Embargo - it was Stellar and we cannot wait to go back! Food was outstanding - especially the soba noodles with peanut sauce , the sliders, and the PEI Mussels. we also had a flatbread pizza which was very good and the brussels sprouts (I would have liked them crispier is my only comment). Our waiter guided us on selections and he was not wrong! 4 people and we shared 5 small plates. Maybe could have used 1 more but we did not feel stuffed nor hungry. We left as the live music was setting up so cannot speak on that but would have been fun to stick around for. We will definitely be back!!

We enjoyed the wide array of tapas and cocktails. Didn't expect live music on a Wednesday night so it added to the atmosphere. Hostess offered to seat us up by the band or further in the back which was a nice option. Highly recommend!

I don't think there is a single item on the menu that didn't appeal. We shared 4 plates and each was incredible. Our server was helpful with suggestions when we couldn't decide and she was right every time. One of my favorite all-time dining experiences and I would highly recommend!

I had been a little worried about bringing my family here for the first time. They generally don’t go for “foodie” type things, and had never been to a tapas bar before. But, everything was phenomenal! Once my folks got the drift of ordering and trying a bit of everything, we cleaned a good many plates of excellent food!! My mother even tried (and liked) the spicy tuna tower after always being against trying sushi previously. The wait staff were great, the drinks delicious, and the food spectacular. Thanks so much for making this such a wonderful and accessible experience!!

We had excellent food and drinks. Artichoke hearts with prosciutto, beet stack, lamb chops, scallops with bacon, salted caramel cheesecake were fantastic. We had a garlic shrimp dish that was meh. Great service and we will definitely be going back. Everyone else seemed to be having a great time too. Fun atmosphere!

On a nice night to sit outside, our server (Travis?) was pleasant and professional. Food was tasty and drinks were good. But don't make the mistake I made and order a common cocktail not listed on their featured drink list without asking the price. $urprise, $urprise, $urprise!

The service was great! Our waitress was amazing and the bartenders were so kind. We went with a baby, and they brought over an orange and all smiled and waved throughout our meal. Just really so nice. The drinks were good too! The oysters embargo weren’t our favorite- very cheesy (like too much) and didn’t taste anything else. The steak with chimichurri was good, but didn’t necessarily blow us away. Not the best for kids - no high chair, so that was tough. Overall not bad and might go back, but not a must do on the Cape for us

We were in Hyannis for 2 nights after a long weekend in Wellfleet and had a very disappointing meal the first night elsewhere so got a reservation at Embargo for the second in hopes it would be even just a bit better. It far exceeded our expectations! Got sat immediately with a reservation- nice half moon booth for the two of us. It was for our anniversary so we ordered quite a lot- Thai peanut soba noodles (cold), sweet and spicy Thai spring rolls, Mexican elote street corn and the eggplant parm. All were amazing minus the soba noodles- could’ve done without as they were quite ordinary/plain. We ended with the chocolate molten lava cake which was also awesome. Got a couple martinis and a sangria- martinis were a hit but the sangria wasn’t one I’d order again (used some clear liquors instead of brandy so it was very sweet). Took 10 minutes for a server to come by once we were sat to welcome us/take drink orders/bring waters so at first we were put off by the service but he frequented our table regularly after that. We asked him about 3 different things and he said he hadn’t tried any of them/couldn’t give a rec but was nice overall. Live jazz music was so lovely- very loud but just great. Vibes and aesthetic all around were good.
