Lobster eggs benedict
Deshae W.

Outdoor seating is nice and right down the street from the shopping/stores. Food was pretty subpar. I got the lobster eggs benedict, which lacked flavor. It tasted like it needed seasoning outside of a simple salt and pepper. Blueberry pancakes and mediterranean omelette were average. We were expecting the food to make us say "oh this is yummy!", but it was meh. The servers were nice, but they kept forgetting about part of our order. She forgot about my coffee -- by the time she came back around I didn't want it anymore. Also forgot about our side order of bacon, which took 20 minutes to come out. Didn't seem intentional though.

Saturday morning and the place was fairy busy, between the ragged look of the place and how busy it was we were not expecting much but surprisingly enough the service was wuick and the food was great.

Banana pancakes

Oh gosh. I know what you're thinking. You're starving and all the other places have a long wait. We came here before checking reviews. What a mistake. This place has so much potential, unfortunately the food is not very good at all. I ordered banana pancakes that were completely bland and difficult to eat. The banana wasn't even properly mixed in the batter. The menus and tables are sticky; and the waitresses, although kind, are a bit all over the place. The place could use an upgrade. The food was extremely overpriced for the quality and unappetizing. If you're too hungry to wait, go to a fast food restaurant, you'll get warm, yummy food at a decent price. Everyone in town knows this place is trouble, unfortunately new Cape Coders such as myself were unaware. Don't make the same mistake.

Short stack of French toast (add sausage)

Main points: 1. Good tasting food 2. We found a lot of hair in our food 3. Bad service I'll start by saying I really enjoyed my food here. It tasted good and there's a pretty large selection of breakfast foods on the menu. Just know if you get an omelette it is the size of a GIANT burrito so that's a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, there were a lot of things that led to a less than optimal dining experience here. Our waitress was very friendly but we had a poor experience with her. To begin with, my friend ordered the mushroom omelette and asked how much it would be to add spinach. She said it wouldn't be more than a dollar so he reluctantly agreed. When we got the bill, we were charged $2.50 for the spinach addition. We also found hair in our food (which wasn't her fault but still gross). Our of the 5 of us who went, 3 of us had hair somewhere in our food. I told the waitress and she told me that couldn't be because the chef was bald but I told her I was 100% sure there was hair. Then she stared at it for a little and told me they were just cracks in the plate and I said "no I removed it from my food" and then she just said "that's so weird" and never brought it up again. There was no apology or compensation of any sort. She also stopped coming back to our table after that so we were sitting around for a really long time and eventually sent someone in our party to go look for her so we could pay and leave. We also ran out of water after our first glasses and never got a refill because she was never around. We came here on a Monday morning so there was really no reason for her not to pay attention to our table. Overall, the food tasted good but the service was not good at all. Also, considering the fact that 3/5 of us had hair in our food, I'm willing to bet the other 2 also had hair in their food, they just ate it or didn't see it.

We are regulars here and absolutely love Embargo, but we tried the Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles for…read morethe first time last Saturday and it was a miss for us. Just a heads up for noodle fans, even though it's listed as soba, the dish was served with a relatively thin, block-style white wheat noodle (closer to a thin udon pack) with no hint of buckwheat. Unfortunately, the sauce was also completely bland, lacking any spice, and tasted just like sweet peanut butter. It costs next to nothing, so it wasn't a big deal, the rest of our night (and food) was great as always, the service was flowless as usual. We still love this place, but we will be sticking to our usual favorite dishes next time. P.S. Calamary are outstanding here.

**Extremely Disappointing Birthday Experience**…read more I have been to emBargo before and have generally enjoyed my experiences here, which is why I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday weekend. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disappointment, especially considering our bill was approximately $225. One of the biggest issues was the lack of attentiveness from our waiter. At one point, I needed a fork to eat my meal. One of my guests was heading to the restroom and specifically told our waiter that I needed a fork. I waited approximately five minutes, giving him more than enough time to bring one over. Instead, he continued having a conversation with another employee while I sat at the table unable to properly eat my meal. Eventually, I had to get up from my own birthday dinner and find a fork myself. Only after I got up did someone attempt to assist me with the utensil. Then, at approximately 9:35 PM, our waiter brought the bill to the table even though no one had asked for the check. I found this especially off-putting because this was clearly a birthday celebration, and we had not indicated that we were finished. We weren't even given the opportunity to order dessert or continue celebrating. The waiter had also mentioned that his shift didn't end until around 11 PM, making me even more confused as to why we were essentially being rushed out more than an hour beforehand. When I paid the approximately $225 bill, I left a $15 tip and wrote a note explaining why. I normally tip more than 20%, particularly when I receive good service, but I did not believe the service that evening justified that amount. What happened afterward was what truly ruined the experience. After seeing the tip and my note, the waiter came back to our table and confronted us about it. He raised his voice and argued that we should not have given him the tip we gave him because he believed he had provided good service. When I attempted to explain the problems we experienced, he put his hand up toward me, said that he didn't want to hear it, and walked away. That was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. A customer should never be confronted or yelled at because an employee disagrees with the amount of a discretionary tip especially after the customer has already explained the service issues. I understand that this waiter was relatively new and had only been working at the restaurant for approximately six weeks. I can absolutely give someone grace for being new. What I cannot excuse is confronting a customer over a tip, refusing to listen to their concerns, and walking away dismissively. What makes this particularly disappointing is that I was a returning customer. I have recommended emBargo to friends, colleagues in banking, investors, and other people in my professional network because of my previous experiences here. Unfortunately, after the way my birthday celebration was handled, I can no longer comfortably recommend this restaurant. I specifically chose emBargo for a special occasion. Instead of leaving with a great birthday memory, I left feeling rushed, disrespected, and extremely disappointed. Based on this experience, I would not recommend emBargo for birthdays or other special celebrations unless management addresses how situations like this are handled.

What a great find Sue had a coupon for the Cove…read moreWe were pleasantly surprised at the upscale restaurant right near the end of the Main Street in Hyannis The service was superb! Katie was our waitress,and she aimed to please from the wine tasting to make sure we like our choices from the wine list We both selected the fish taco with pineapple salsa with a very nice dressing The unique potato chip fried fish was so fresh We opt for the garlic bread to go with our wine and that too had its special flare I know we both said this is a first but not our last trip to enjoy the food ,service and ambience . Thanks Katie for answering all our many questions and making so many extra trips to the kitchen for us Jackie S

We came here because of the great reviews and sat at the bar, but we were pretty disappointed. The…read morebluefish pate itself was good, but rather on the salty side, so serving it with salt and vinegar chips made it pretty much inedibly salty (this was taken off the bill when the bartender noticed we didn't eat more than one bite each). My first glass of vinho verde wine was served at room temperature (the second was fine), and the side plate I was given was crusted with dried food residue. I also watched an employee behind the bar wipe her nose with her hand and then continue slicing citrus barehanded. The chicken empanadas were good but not particularly special. We also had one of the small pizzas, which was the best thing of the night, crispy and flavorful (with a little char at the edges, which we like). The decor is a little bananas (different shades of green between the walls, the napkins, the barstools, and the banquettes; five kinds of lighting fixtures; lots of sound and lighting items with exposed, hasty-looking wiring). The bathroom door doesn't really close and lock properly. And the restaurant is really loud, even half full. The writing on the menu, about family members and special recipes, tells me that there's pride here and real care about making a good restaurant. However, without the attention to detail (particularly cleanliness and hygiene!), that's kind of moot. Three stars instead of two here because the pizza was good and the staff obviously care about customers.
