Bracco's Clam and Oyster Bar

For some reason I've been here like 2 times in a month's span...despite it not being that great of a spot...at all. My first time was a few years ago with my aunt and cousin and I remembered i wasn't a fan b/c they had a $50 minimum on cards and they had the first ATM I saw with a $4 charge. I was young at the time and it just seemed way too expensive for a place that wasn't that nice or special. I also went with a friend. We were really drunk so we didn't hate it, but we never returned again together. Anyway, recently I came again with aunt and cousin after a pretty bad dinner at Hudson's. At first they took card then after our first round they said they were cash only. I really don't like this inconsistent. My cousin was convinced that one of the bartenders was a complete bitch to her then later on we realized she was drunk off her house. She completely forgot who had ordered a fishbowl from her. Later on my aunt who was a little tipsy wanted french fries. They weren't taking food orders at the bar and we did not want to sit at a table. Nobody would serve food to us so we asked some ladies who were seated at a table with us to order the food then we'd give them the cash. Again I came with some family members on 4th of July weekend. We made sure to get there before they started charging. There is absolutely no reason anybody should pay to go here. A friend ordered fried shrimp and fries and it came to $20. I'm not even surprised. Place thinks it's way better than it is. I made friends with the bartenders my previous time there so I didn't spend an arm and a leg and I made sure to bring cash. Overall, don't come here, I most likely won't be back unless I'm with a good group of people. The outside atmosphere by the water is good, but the service and basically every other part of the place sucks. I give it 1.5 stars.

I can see why a lot of people wrote bad reviews. If you go here expecting to get excellent seafood and high-end service, you'll be disappointed. If you take it for what it is, a fun spot with live music and an outdoor bar and eating area right on the water, you'll have a fun time. It's all about the scenery and atmosphere here. The food is decent, but overpriced, as are the drinks. Boaters love this place because you can dock and dine to start your Nautical Mile experience, or just stay there till the end.

This place TERRIBLE MUCHO TERRIBLE

Every poor review you read is spot on.

FOOD- is overpriced. Way overpriced.
  Do not order crab cake appetizers. They are $13 small and overly fried.
  The entrees are ok but for what you get they are way to expensive. $20 for a fish sandwich with fries? Come on. You are paying for the ambience only here.

DRINKS - you get a twelve ounce plastic cup and pay for much more. We had margarita and in 4 sips you were done, and they charged 12 dollars.

DO NOT EAT HERE AND AVOID THIS PLACE ALL TOGETHER IF CAN.

It is just a bunch of Long Island Italians guys who own this place, think they are better than everyone else because they have Djs and palm trees. Don't be a sucker for braccos.
