First time I’ve been disappointed here in a while. Service stunk. Felt rushed. Food was great as always but service was really bad. Waiter was rushing us and not very polite and food came out very slow. Rare occurrence for an experience at Embargo.

Portions were overpriced and very small for the quality of food . The crème brûlée was cold and a tiny scoop of ice cream for $7 was outrageous.. left there still hungry . Mushrooms were so tiny and overcooked and the cheese they melted on there was horrible and left a bitter taste

They have a large variety of foods which can be shared. Everything is great there. From the waiter/waitress, the bartenders, the support staff to the owner all make you feel welcomed and are so very nice.

Visiting Hyannis from out of state and decided to try Embargo. Definitely one of the best decisions ever. Drinks, food and service were some of the best we've ever experienced. Would make a trip back just to go there again. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and try Embargo.
