Embargo Hyannis

We made a reservation, and we were so glad that we did because the restaurant was full and the only available seats were at the bar. We were warmly greeted by the hostess Nicky, and we asked if we could get a booth near the back, because the jazz group was excellent but too loud to carry on a conversation if near the band. John was our waiter and he was outstanding, and both he and Nicky came by to check on us throughout the meal. We had raspberry pomegranate margaritas, cider sangria, and rose wine by the glass. On Tuesday night they have half price on numerous tapas, and anything with a * after it is full price, so we were able to order several tapas at a 50% discount. We had the following tapas: -Baby lamb chops: it was $4.00 per lamb chop -Southern fried chicken biscuit- with glaze on the biscuit which was excellent! -Chicken lettuce wraps -Smoked salmon and cream cheese on toasts (the photo has two, but you get three, and we were so hungry that I tried to take photos before my friends started eating. -Short rib sliders -Pumpkin ravioli special: which was more of an entrée size and incredibly delicious! -Steak and mashed potatoes, with amazing flavor! -Grilled churrasco-style sirloin steak with sliced crispy onion rings, chimichurri sauce -Braised short ribs with la mancha sauce, cool tomato fresco and mashed potatoes -Happy Birthday Chocolate Cake There were three of us dining and with 9 tapas' ordered we left very full. John brought out a slice of an incredibly moist chocolate cake for our friend's birthday with a candle in it which was a nice touch. We enjoyed the meal so much, that we made a reservation at 7pm tonight, Wednesday, to come back and try some of our favorites and also experience some of the other items that we did not try. Wednesday is karaoke night so we are very much looking forward to the entertainment! Embargo has entertainment all year round, unlike other restaurants that are only seasonal. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Great tapas restaurant, can't be more enthusiastic about this place. Menu is incredible, so many items, too much to choose and everything we had was fantastic. Great cocktails also, but more focused on vodka than whiskey. Please add some good rye. Service was great, the items flowed well, although I would have preferred our lighter seafood items before the beef braised short ribs. Everything was great, especially waffles and chicken I had for dessert. I couldn't pass it up.
