After 9:00 pm on a Friday evening, we stopped for a late dinner at the Embassy Diner. Seeing the number of people enjoying themselves, the reincarnation of this restaurant has been a success.  That success is most likely due to the new owners and their team. A restaurant family that clearly knows how to do it right, has brought their expertise to Bethpage.


The holiday decorations throughout make for a festive venue.  But decorations alone do not make for a great experience. The warm welcoming staff, friendly service, and good food make one want to return. The website says that their goal is to “make every customer happy.” Based on our experience, they are doing a good job of that!


Drive into the large, paved, parking lot and you see the decorations. Three accessible spaces are near the accessible ramp, located at the rear of the building. Gus, the owner, told us that a new, accessible ramp will be constructed early next year, so that everyone will have equal access to the main entrance. We’re sure he is sincere about getting this done.


If you are entering at the main entrance, you will need to walk up six steps to the double doors. Once inside, you will find a lovely Christmas tree in the corner, next to a bench, in case you need to wait.


The tree was just the beginning of the beautiful decorations that abound. You can’t help but feel the holiday spirit when everywhere you look you see holiday displays.


There are several dining areas, with booths, a counter, and an area with tables and chairs. This area is accessed by a slight ramp. If you are entering or exiting via the accessible ramp, that door is in this area.


Our server was friendly and professional, making sure we had everything we.wanted/needed. A great turkey burger, sweet potato fries, and a BLT with a substantial amount of bacon, made for a great meal. The fries were so abundant that two of us couldn’t finish them! We will happily be back to try other offerings and see what new decorations there will be.


Multi-stall restrooms have an accessible stall. Although there are handrails in those stalls, they could present a problem to some, as the handrails are only about six inches below the baby-changing station on one side and the toilet paper rolls on the other. 


As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.embassydiner.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
