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.
Review Source: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.
Review Source: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.
I don't know where to begin- my boyfriend, my son and I came here for a nice Sunday afternoon lunch on the water and I regret everything about it.  My boyfriends teeny tiny cup of beer was $7 and my terribly horrible piña colada was $12- it tasted just like my son's $9 virgin drink! The food was nothing special at all- we had some steamed shrimp with frozen cocktail sauce, clam strips with no sauce, fried soft shell crab and a $23 lobster roll that couldn't even be compared to the lobster roll at Panera for heaven's sake. I don't mind paying a little extra for awesome food but there is nothing awesome about this place. Definitely would never recommend this place- not for the drinks or food anyway :)
Review Source:Ok so I met up with friends here the other day cause it was gorgeous out. Â We picked Bracco's because of the atmosphere. Â It was happy hour on an Thursday, and drinks were half priced for ladies until 8. Yay! There was a live DJ playing and people were dancing. Â It was fun to watch. Â I ordered fish tacos and though they were not the greatest they weren't so bad. At $20 a pop the tacos were on the high side but it was filling. This place is a fun atmosphere that is great for drinks and maybe some apps. Â I will say it's not the best place for food; the prices are high and the food is mediocre. Â Go here for the party atmosphere.
Review Source:I have tried this place several times but it has always disappointed. I just went last Sunday for quick appetizers and was meeting à friend that is in a wheelchair and has limited options on the mile.  The drinks are in a small plastic with a lot of ice.  I ordered coconut shrimp for $14.99.  This consisted of a total of 4 shrimps!!! Overpriced and ridiculous.  Tons of more options on the mile... go there!
Review Source:This was literally one of the most expensive places I've ever eaten and drank. Â They don't have their drink prices on the menu for the "souvenir cup" drinks. Â They are $16. Â The food is incredibly expensive. Â Crab cake appetizer, $13, and you get two teeny tiny cakes. Â Fish tacos are $20 and you get two tacos and a handful of fries. Â When the bill came, we were literally blown away, as it was more expensive than I've paid for a night out in Manhattan. Â Nothing special about this place, just super overpriced.
Review Source:This review is for their bar scene and not their food since I have not eaten here.
First of all, if you are going to charge a $10 cover charge (I hear this is only on Saturday nights), you better have something GOOD to offer. It is overcrowded, drinks are small and weak, and the dance floor is only good til 11, when town ordinance mandates music be turned down/off.
The atmosphere would be nice if I wasn't squeezed next to people and also being grabbed out from every direction from overly drunk guys.
There also happened to be a fight that started in a group next to ours and we cleared away as best/fast as we could and it still took security ages to get in under control.
I don't plan on ever returning, especially with that ridiculous cover.
I really have had a lot of fun times here.
I've come here for lunches and to party. I think I like the party scene a bit more than the food. Don't get me wrong the food is good but it's average when surrounded by all good food on the strip including braccos. It's a really fun place to come to during the summer when the weather is nice.
Come by for some food/drink or to party, it's always a good time either way.
Went on a Saturday afternoon with 3 friends, ordered drinks, and the fried seafood sampler platter (calamari was really good, crabcakes were unique). Â The outdoor picnic table setup on the water with jimmy buffet blasting was decent, but you're paying for it in overpriced drinks and food.
Review Source:This is a cool outdoor hangout for a cool strip. Â While Woodcleft Ave has a treasure trove of sports bars and restaurants to choose from, I was drawn to this location because we were acknowledged and greeted by the cute hostesses at the front desk as my girlfriend and I walked by.
The bar food is very good albeit semi-pricey. Â As someone who frequently wines and dines in Manhattan, I was somewhat surprised to see the Manhattan prices in Nassau County.
Seeing the speed boats and fishing boats pass by is weird eye candy (you'll find yourself saying "What's that person have that I don't?"). Â If you're a sports person, you'll like that the outdoor bar has plenty of TV's.
I only wish our waiter (her name rhymes with 'Sharia') simply gave us service with a nod or smile. Â Even though the joint was not to capacity by any means, she simply was a robot (e.g., no eye contact, quickly placing orders on the table when it arrived, talking to us over-the-shoulder while walking away). Â It was the polar opposite of the warm greeting we initially received from the front girls who attracted us in the first place.
Caveat: ensure you have decent cash on hand. Â Bracco's, for whatever reason, doesn't allow you to tip when you're paying with credit or debit cards. Â Without cash, you'll find yourself at their ATM paying additional fees to tip your waiter. Â It's a little off-putting because it seems like Bracco's is double-dipping and squeezing a few more bucks out of unsuspecting patrons.
Overall, I would return.
I didnt eat here but i did drink and the drinks were strong,but expensive.I dont know what i expect a beer to cost or a mixed drink but at least it was made properly. The music on a friday nite was kinda wack.Started of 70's ish maybe i was with the early bird crowd.I thought landshark was better last year but this time it looked like they were closed
Review Source:I really had to debate whether or not to give this place 2 or 3 stars. It's really more like a 2.5, but I had to give them a 2. Every time I've been here I never really got that excited feeling to be on my way, it was more like I was just going because it was a decent outdoor spot for a hot summer night.
I don't like the fact that there is a cover. It's $10 or so, and I believe it's only on Saturday nights. For what? I'm not quite to sure. Maybe it's to be able to pay the "go-go" dancers that stand on the wooden base of the palm trees an shake their 10 year old looking body's in a tacky looking bathing suit, or maybe the cover pays for the dry ice bits that they shoot out onto the dance floor that burns my skin when it hits. Again I'm not sure what that cover goes to but it's not much of a good time at bracco's.
The music is solid, I will say that. It's a good mix and people are dancing, but for some reason I just don't feel like dancing when i go here. I'm not sure if it's the crowd that attends or what, it's just not a fun place for me. It seems like there are a lot of sour pusses who hang out here. I will give credit where credit is due becausr they do  always have seating available which is great if you just want to hang put with a drink (which is what a normally wind up doing since I don't feel like dancing),  and the sand pit area is a cute place with lounge kind of chairs and a fire pit.
Next, the drinks are horrendous. What a mess in a cup! The two drinks I had were strong BUT they tasted so bad. I ha one of their own drinks which was the drink that is featured on Saturday night (I think it's called hurricane or something). All the ingredients were quite normal, but dam it tasted like anise. If you don't know why that is its like a very strong black licorice taste (samba has this taste). I HATE that taste, and all night was trying to figure out what is was after numerous attempts of asking the bartender got me no where. Â
As I said I kept coming back here because out of all the spots on the nautical mile this one had the best music, and a crowd that looked to be around my age or so... that is until I discovered Tropix up the block which is easy to miss considering I would never go past Bracco's. Now that I found an even better outdoor spot I'm sure I wouldn't return to Bracco's.
first and foremost, this is my first review ever, and it should be known that I too, work in the restaurant industry. not to mention a friend of ours is actually a server at bracco's as well, but she happened to be off that day...
I've been to Bracco's before, but this time was just ridiculous. Five of us were there this past Sunday for a friend's birthday, who happens to eat there quite often. It was not particularly busy. Â I think our servers name was Jaime. Â Nice girl, terrible server. Â Our food came out before our very complicated drink order of CORONAS reached the table. After eating and drinking for about 5 hours, we finally asked for our bill. The total was $370, and we were splitting it 4 ways because we were treating the birthday girl. Â That comes out to $93 a person. Â $200 was put into the check book, and the remaining balance was to be split amongst 2 credit cards. Â Not a difficult request! Â Our server finally came back to take our payment, if she had any common sense at all she would have counted the money in the check book before passing it along to whoever was in charge of ringing up the bill.
After some time she returned w our cards so we could sign and be on our way. Â Shocking, the cash was taken and the ENTIRE bill was split btw the two cards. Â I was more than patient, realizing it could have been an honest mistake, I myself have made while working. Â We pulled out server aside, addressed the problem and right away all she had to say was " its not my fault, i didn't ring it up... i dont even know how much money was in there.." Â how shocking. Â she said she would take care of, about TEN MINUTES later she returned with the "correct" credit card slips, that were still over charged. Â all patience was lost at this point. Â our group walked up the hostess and asked to speak to whoever was in charge. Â we explained the problem, and instead of asking if perhaps the servers or person in charge of ringing up the cards made the mistake, she pointed the finger at us!
one of the bosses happened to be close by, and recognized the bday girl, who often spends money there. im not sure what was said exactly, but he told the hostess who was dealing with us fix the issue knowing that we were loyal customers.  she began to tell us " i hope youre being honest about the money, we are taking your word on it"  this annoyed me even more, i told her  she didnt have to take my word, and she should count her draw, and would instantly see it was over the amount it should have been.  she looked at me like i was crazy.  instead of "adjusting"  the slips, they gave us cash back, which was a total of $84, because each card as over charged $42.
once we were given the cash back, i asked if the previous WRONG charge of $189 was either voided/adjusted. Â she assured me we would not be charged twice. Â the next day, of course both charges came up on the statements of the two cardholders. Â when we called the restaurant we kept getting the run around. Â no one could answer our questions or direct us to someone who could. Â when we finally did get in touch w someone they accused us of lying, and how we were given all of he money back in cash! Â BULL SHIT
the staff is borderline retarded, and they treat their customers like shit. Â if i had more time to peruse this problem i'd call the bureau of better business and report them for scam and theft. why in god's name would i ever wanna go back there with an open wallet, and willingly give them my business and money. thank god this place isnt open all year. run for the hills, burger king treats their customers better than they do!
Place is a tourist trap! Food is mediocre and expensive! First time at nautical mile and would never go back.. All the restaurants are overpriced for crappy food we went to 6 restaurants before going back here cause we were starving.. Which should've made the food better right? NO.. It didn't.
The service here made the whole experience worst! First, waitress lied 3 times - no sprite, then no ginger ale (but the other customer next me ordered it and got it!) then she tells us we had to pay in the counter while walking out the place we see the same waitress picking up the check and going to the register. Needless to say I told her what I thought in my Brooklyn way (can't type it here).
You want bad food for 5 star prices than go here. I wouldn't bother going to nautical mile ever again. It's a cheap version of the jersey shore with no nice views!
I never give a bad review bc I believe every business has a bad day. HOWEVER, we got food poisoning! Â When it comes down to seafood, it has to be prepared properly and fresh.The food are overpriced and slow service. My fiance and I are so sick. We ordered the lobster roll, steam fish and raw bar.
Review Source:We dock here for the outdoor seating and to grab drinks, and occasionally, a quick bite to eat. Â Yesterday was no different. Â What I love about Bracco's is that they always have music playing, you can sit outside and catch the most relaxing sea breezes, and the waitresses and bartenders are hotties. Â
I ordered the Tuna Nachos and they were really good. Â The tuna is served sashimi style with some crispy wontons and a very tasty sesame oil/sauce. Â The tuna they served me was very well picked and of very good quality. Â At first I felt that the price tag of the dish was a bit too pricey at $21, but it is truly enough for 3 to share, so that's not bad at all. Â
I also ordered the seafood bisque which was priced at $6.95 and although it was kind of tasty, I wish it had a little more seafood meat in it. Â The portion was filling and my only other gripe was that it had corn in it, which I'm not such a big fan of. Â
Drinks: Â We ordered the Saturday and a Sunday [names of drinks]. Â It seems like these drinks have no real purpose other than just getting you drunk, which isn't a problem but if they're going to be "specialty" drinks, then they should be somewhat tasty, no? Â These drinks were horrendous on the taste buds and if it weren't for the $15 a piece price tag I think we would have left them right there on the table for the birds to suck on. Â
Overall Bracco's has a fun time vibe and that it can be. Â Bring some rowdy friends, grab a spot at the bar, and waste your day away imbibing, flirting, catching some rays, and simply relaxing.
Here's my Bracco's experience: Â sit down, wait for service. Â One of the 'waitresses', and I use that term very loosely, asks if we would like a menu. Â Of course we do and she disappears into oblivion to never be seen again. Â After being walked by at least six different waitresses a countless number of times, we stop one and ask her for menus. Â No menus come after five minutes, so we eagerly depart. Â What really bugged me is that other people were getting promptly seated and waited on AFTER we had been waiting. Â But that's cool, as it looked like D-Bag central anyhow.
Review Source:haven't been back there in a while so my fiance and i and some friends went to check it out since it was a nice night and  we were in the area. and now i realized why its been so long since i've been there. # 1, you have the owners in front lobbying for customers like used car sales men which is tacky. # 2 the service and the food sucked. #3 the prices are a lil on the high side for the quality of the place. i thought maybe it would be different since i couldn't remember how it tasted the last time i was here. i really thought i was 21 at the shore again. that whole scene is just tired and ridiculous. i ordered  fried calamari which everyone said tasted like something you'd get from some dive dinner serving something from restaurant depot, andmy friend ordered the crabs , which was the only thing that tasted ehh at best. the drinks were in very small plastic cups, i wasn't surprised since a place like this is a target for high "testosterone" (no pun intended) & drunken toughness, so plastic is much safer then glass. drinks were very weak, asked the bartender to make every drink we had stronger,...... we're no heavyweights. btw, even though we tipped very well, she looked at us as if the liquor was coming out of her pocket. that made me laugh. bottom line is if your looking for good seafood served before you finish 3 rounds, deff go somewhere else. the place is trying to hard to blend miami and the jersey shore. but i guess when your drunk it doesn't matter anyway. & oh yea, the dude with the leather jacket and shades at like 11 pm and his wide eyed partner with the sideways jaw..... i can imagine how they stay up all night, but i digress. do yourself a favor and avoid this dump if you want a good experience.
   Â
P.S... don't use the ATM's unless you don't mind a surcharge of $4..... yea, i made that mistake after i found out you can't leave a tip on your card when having dinner.
Haven't been to the Nautical Mile in over three years, so we decided to check out the scene again. Â I don't remember the name "Bracco's Clam and Oyster Bar" from my last visit, but I know I have been there before. Â
We walked the Mile and arrived at Bracco's around 9:45PM.  It was a nice Saturday evening, and this joint  in particular was hoppin!  No cover which I was happy about and they had music and a nice outdoor seating area.  I got a bottle of beer ($6 bucks) and my friends got  vodka OJ's, which were served in TINY 12oz plastic cups, loaded with ice, a drop of vodka for a whopping $8.50.  I guess it has been a while, but that seemed pricy!  It wasn't even great vodka.
We were able to sit at a table, (even though the restaurant was still open.) Â That is a big plus in my book. Â We were able to relax, enjoy the sea breeze and beach-like atmosphere. Â The waitstaff seemed great. Â They were flitting back and forth from their customers to the kitchen like pros. Â I'd like to think everyone who did order food, were pleased with the customer service, at least from what I saw.
My friends and I were enjoying some conversation when all of a sudden, I felt like I was transported to my couch, watching a bar scene of The Jersey Shore. Â A lot of LI bars tend to have a few Jersey Shore-like-ites, but this was just ridiculous. Â When the DJ (Scissorhandz,) started playing house music, the sunglasses, wife beaters, popped collars all came from the woodwork to the dance floor. Â People were dancing and strutting, spinning shirts above their heads like a helicopter. Â I actually thought one of the guys was Ronnie. Â At one point, Â I turned around and saw two chicks dancing in black bodysuits, one on the roof, one on a speaker or something... It was CA-RAZY! Â And hilarious to watch. Â BUT who am I to judge. Â I am sure I have been there a time or twelve. Â It was actually humbling to see these 20-year-olds having a grand old time.
At 11 o'clock on the button, the music stopped, and the dance crew dispersed to their boat docked below. Â The staff began taking down the speakers, lights and equipment. Â I didn't remember the music ordinance in Freeport the last time I visited the Mile. Â Without the entertainment, it was time for us to make our way out. Â
We needed to visit the restroom but wait...where IS the restroom? Â You actually have to leave the bar area, go outside into another area where the bathroom rests. Â The line for the ladies room was crazy of course and Chief Sunglasses and leather coat, barked orders at us like children. Â "Ladies to the left. Â Those who have flats, can use the two bathrooms upstairs. NO HEELS UPSTAIRS!" Â Really?! Â I made a snide comment to my friend, and then some tool bag behind me quipped "Uh, that guy is the owner." Â Thanks buddy!
All and all, the night was a good time. Â I would come back, maybe try the food next time.
But ladies, Chief Sunglasses also informed us while waiting for the restroom, "don't check our hair and makeup in the mirrors," so if you wanna do that, go to another bar!
I love coming here to take in the view and babe watch. You sit at picnic benches under an umbrella watching boats put on a show as how NOT to dock a boat. In the warmer months there is music with live groups and a generally nice crowd of people taking in the sun.
The food is nothing to write home about but more than acceptable when you balance in the "scene".
I always get steamers or mussels and either lobster or possibly sword fish and usually not disappointed. The wait staff usually attentive and dressed in Hooter's type outfits.
Bathrooms are in the fish market area next door and not anything to brag about.
Fairly extensive menu and prices are what you would expect.
If you want better food or cheaper prices, there are other choices down the street.
Always loved this place.,but the Honeymoon is over.
$5 "upcharge" for sweet potato fries on an order called  fish and "chips". Wrong , especially when you are told you can "sub" , with sweet potato fries or baked.  Total $15 overcharge - horrible loud amateur acoustic cowboy music- not the live reggae I loved last summer. I`m done.
$50 credit minimum and can't leave tips on cards. WTF?
If you want to eat, don't go here. The seafood market attached is good - just buy it and cook it home. The whole strip boasts about being seafood fresh and all - it's all a trap. A tourist trap. And a shitty one at that.
Service sucked. Food sucked.
Seafood chowder? More like corn chowder. So much spice in it so you don't taste the corn and potato chowder it really is. There was no seafood in it at all.
Man what a dump.
this place is right in the middle. Â the atmospher is pretty good during the day, they usually have a guy playing music (good mix, zep, hendrix, billy joel, and newer music).
obviously, its right on the water, so the view is decent. Â the problem with this place is the food is just mediocre. Â there are better places on the mile to get food. Â bracco's is cheaper though, for obvious reasons.
ive had the fish and chips, seafood bisque, steamers, and a few other things. Â outside of the steamers, which you can't really screw up, nothing is better then average.
the big plus to this place though is if you go at nite for drinks, the bar is always decently busy, and being outside on a nice nite with a breeze, is fun.
Bracco's is a great place to have a few drinks and their food isn't that bad either. Â
The scene at Bracco's is definitely one to focus on the bar first before the food. Â The food is a mixed bag but is kind of expensive.
My wife and I ate there recently. Â We ordered the raw little neck clams and the Lobster bake for 2. Â The clams were terrible and we didn't even finish them. Â They looked big for little necks and were fishy tasting with bits of sand in them. Â
The Lobster bake was great. Â It was fresh and cooked well. Â It was a little expensive but was definitely more food than we could finish. Â
The service was a bit slow. Â We had a hard time finding our waitress when we wanted another round of drinks. Â We also couldn't find her when we wanted to pay our bill which was frustrating. Â We also asked to substitute sweet potato fries for waffle fries. Â We were charged for both on our bill, I wanted to dispute the charge but I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for our waitress to make it back to us. Â
I would go back to Bracco's and see if the poor service persisted. Â The food and view are worth it, even if it is a little pricey.
I'm going to break this review down between service and food. After walking out of Hurricane Harry's for their lack of accommodation for kids, we had cranky toddlers who needed to eat lunch ASAP. The staff offered us high chairs and told us they had kid-appropriate food on the menu. This is a dockside bar and grill but at least had iced tea and lemonade available. Â The waitress asked if we wanted the kids' lemonade watered down, and we did. Â It was a nice sign that this place had actually served kids before. Â They brought the kids drinks in covered cups with straws. They also brought their food out ahead of ours so they didn't have to wait long. Ten points to Gryffindor! Â The place was busy and you could see the wait staff was spread a little thin. Our waitress didn't write our order down, and had to come back so I could remind her. Â Service was slow, even getting my debit card back after I paid took forever.
The menu offered all of the choices you'd expect from a dockside restaurant. Â Raw bar, fried clams, oysters, grilled fish entrees, fish and chips. Â I had an appetizer of 6 littleneck clams on the half shell for $7.99, which is high considering I can get a dozen for $8.99 at our local place. Â I had a grilled yellowtail tuna cooked rare and lightly seasoned. It was served with corn on the cob and rice pilaf. Â The fish was good, however the rice tasted like one of those boxed sides you get at the supermarket. I would've liked to have had a different vegetable instead of corn. Especially for $27.99, which was insanely overpriced considering the size and quality of the entree. Â My wife had a garden salad with breaded shrimp. She said it was good, but again it was $21.99 and had five shrimp in it.
The quality of food did not match the ridiculous prices, but you're a captive audience on the Nautical Mile. Â You're paying for a view that isn't that impressive. Â We would've done better at a local seafood restaurant (we live on an island, after all), but I guess we have to pay a premium to eat on the waterfront in Freeport.
Mister suggested a drive out to Freeport on July 4th, since it was a beautiful day- we could have a nice lunch and drinks on the water. Â How could I refuse him?
Mister remembered Margo & Frank's from back in the day, so we set out for that restaurant. Â Driving down Woodcleft Avenue, we noticed few restaurants were busy, most were almost empty- porque? Â We found Margo & Frank's closed and being used for storage by Opus, the casino nearby. Â Ok, next- where to eat and imbibe?
I checked Yelp and decided Bracco's looked best, so we stopped there and nabbed a table on the water, in the shade. Â I opted for a Pineapple Daiquiri while Mister went for a Corona and we shared a Cold Captain's Salad (Oysters, Shrimp and Clams) and a Shrimp Cocktail. Â Oh, and those Waffles fries? Â Ya, we ordered those and they were GOOD. Â Everything was good, though they did serve everything on plastic- yick. Â I did ask that my 2nd Daiquiri be made w/alcohol, since the 1st one tasted like a virgin drink.
$79 later...we were surprised by the bill! How could 4 drinks and 2 entrees + fries total that? Â Sheesh. Â Our waitress, as nice as she was, thanked us for our cash tip and told us we could pay our bill at the register- this while the other waitresses around us processed their clients payments themselves. Â I should've asked the owner about this when we left.
i don't know what happened to this place.
let me get food out of the way... i'll say this much... last time i ate here, my friend ended up yacking mid meal over the side of the dock. enough said.
and a typical saturday night? the fist pumpers have invaded. and there is hardly any standing space.
i don't know, maybe might be for some people. but not for me. whatever you do, don't eat here though. unless you're getting like... french fries.
When it's a gorgeous Sat afternoon, heading over to Bracco's is a lot fun! I love having a drink, sitting outside and enjoying oysters! There's a fun vibe and there's plenty to see between the boats docking, and just doing a lot of people watching! I enjoyed the Jamaican band as well!
Review Source:I was there with friends this past sunday afternoon. It was sunny so sitting outdoors was awesome, we got a table for 9 without any problems. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great. We started off with the seafood bisque and then had some mussels and steamers, everyone loved the steamers. There was plenty of fried food in the north eastern platter to share.... and everything was tasty and fresh.. fried to golden brown... crispy and not too oily. Onion rings were also excellent... we left satisfied
For more reviews visit my blog.
Wow. I really didn't expect this place to be as miserable as it was. Gorgeous sunny day, 2 friends and some beers. Sure, it was windy but hey- it is on the water. Beer- $6.00. Ok, I can handle that. Overcooked Salmon sandwich- $18.00. No, you read that right. $18.00. I know nautical mile is overpriced but COME ON! I thought, ok, I'm hungry and the seafood is probably good here! Negative. Go elsewhere with better food, same prices and view and less slimy individuals.
Yikes.
Waterside drinking.
I do not recommend this place for food unless you stick with the finger food such as fried calamari. Â
This place is first and foremost a meat market type gathering spot for drinking and hanging in the sunshine while listening to the reggae wannabe band. (Note - hey mon, wearing a tam does not make you sound any better)
Aside from that, the place gets jammed up with partiers of all ages. Â Drinks are overpriced but that is expected in a seasonal joint. Â The bartenders seemed better this year than usual - or we were there early, take your pick. Â
Apparently we ended up in the local newspaper as well while there (Memorial day weekend) but that is another story...
Parking on the street - good luck with that.
Like the previous reviewer said...this place relies on it's prime location or has the best location on the Nautical mile.
It's on the water, folks. Â It's overlooking the canal!
I went there expecting fresh seafood and definitely got it. They have lobsters, clams and oysters in abundance. The place is hopping! The reggae band jamming! The feel is so casual you can walk right in wearing your bathing suit if you feel inclined to do so, don't think anyone would stop you. I would come back. The bathrooms are indeed a disaster. They need to clean the restrooms up or remodel those restrooms a bit.
