My husband and I took my sister and brother in law out for her birhday at Embargo's. We called for reserving one of their famous booths the previous day and were promptly seated. Our waiter was informed about their extensive menu. We wanted to try one of everything. We were served warm bread and garlic oil for dipping - and... more

My date and I went for a late dinner at emBargo in Hyannis, which started off nice. We ordered out drinks and tapas. I will say that the food was good, but after we got our cute little tapas it all went sour. For our entertainment we watched 8 (yes eight) bouncers throw 2 different guys out. We had 3... more

When we walked in we were immediately impressed with the high ceilings, cool lighting, large semi-circular booths, horseshoe-shaped bar, and the overall look. But when we took first sips of our cocktails we knew we were in trouble. Too much sour mix killed the margarita--we never send things back, but it was undrinkable--and when it was remade, it came out... more

My husband and I stopped here last month to listen to a jazz combo and have a cocktail. We ended up spending four hours sampling the extensive selection of incredibly delicious hot and cold tapas. All the items were elegantly and expertly prepared and presented, and they could not have been more reasonably priced. In addition, the restaurant was stylish... more

Best food I've had in a long time. This was one of the only trendy looking places on Main Street, and tapas sounded good, so we stopped in. It just happened we were there early during their happy hour (4-6, i think). Happy hour at Embargo means $.99 oysters and half-priced tapas. Everything was unbelievable. We must have had 6... more

The tapas were wonderful and interesting. A few of the standards (tortilla española for example) were conspicuously absent from the menu, but what was there was new and exciting. The service was not great (at one point we sent the busboy to go find the waitress after she disappeared for quite a while, then when we ordered desert wine she... more

I discovered this restaurant thru a Cape Cod dining guide. I thought a Tapas Bar "what a great idea". I immediately thought of my past trip to Barcelona. The menu is truely interesting with a wide variety of items. I have been there now 5 times since early June and have sampled most items on the menu. I would have... more
