Just went in for drinks but ended up with a dozen of fresh oysters and some other appetizers... Great waiter!

We need a change from seafood so we tried Embargo. It was fantastic. Very creative cusine and excellent cocktails. Service was also excellent. They have specials almost every night. We happened to go early and all the hot tapas were 1/2 price - a great bargain. When in Hyaniis, it's a must go.

Great food, excellent service, nice atmosphere. The tapas are delicious, as is the Paeja, and its enough for 6 hungry adults. Nice wine list, too bad no half-bottles are available for two.

Loved Embargo with live music, great drinks, outstanding service at the bar and great food. Perfect spot to start the pub crawl and also for the nightcap since the hotel was steps away. Highly recommend any of the specialty martini's on the menu, or create your own!

Hyannis gangsta hangout. Cheap makeup, colored lipstixs, airhead blondes and meatheads galore. Disco club later, no air conditioner or broken ? we were told ? Menus presented to us were dirty with old food, music blaring in our ears, worst service EVER. Many menu items were out after we ordered them, oysters were warm ? Overall bad experience will never...
