B.r.y.a.c. Restaurant Raw Bar

Very mixed feelings about this place. It had really great reviews, and some of the reviews are justified. One thing I wish I read more is about the lack of a waitlist. It's not first come first serve. It's whoever gets a table gets served. I've never experienced a restaurant where customers had to wait behind tables or seats after other customers. It's like I'm competing for a particular seat with every other particular customer and it all depends on how quickly the people before me eat. If another table opens up, it may not be mine because I wasn't waiting for that table. I feel like it would be relatively easy to set up even an self check-in system to create a waitlist and ease the mind of a lot of customers. Either way, food was good, but this place is understaffed. I was waiting for a table for 45 minutes, and I talked with people waiting on their checks for 30 min or their food for even longer (if it's not raw). Affordable oysters, huge clams and good toasted food too, but again, it sounds like there are only 1 or 2 people in the kitchen because the raw and cooked food came close to 45 min apart. There's either 1 or 0 bartender at the bar, so getting drinks is also very challenging. I feel for a restaurant that's understaffed, but this dining experience could have been much better.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got there today. The menu was filled with choices I wanted so I guess that means I will have to go back! I absolutely loved their award winning New England clam chowder. It was creamy and chock full of fresh clams. Another crowd favorite was the unique choice- fried avocado. I didn't expect it to be as fantastic as it was. I was intrigued by the Lobster Pasta dish- although I wish I would have ordered something lighter since I was already full with the apps, it was amazing. Thankfully I took half home. It had tons of lobster in a sherry cream sauce with rotini. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. Strange choice in my opinion (for a seafood spot) but he liked it. Next time I will be ordering the lobster roll. I saw it come out to another table and it looked insanely good. Check out @datenightcraves on Instagram for more foodie tips !

Read the reviews here on YELP while looking for a restaurant in the area. I liked what the reviews told me and the menu looked perfect. When we arrived we opted to sit inside. I ordered the Lobster Bisque first and when it came out it tasted as good as it looked with nice chunks of lobster. For lunch my Mom ordered the Shrimp Scampi and she said it was very good. I ordered the Lobster Rockefeller. )oOusters Rockefeller with chunks of Lobster On top. I enjoyed every bite. . My mom looked at me and said that she wants to come back. I knew we hit the jackpot.
