All I can say about the Lobster Bisque and the Clam Chowder is AMAZING! Delicious, and worth a trip across the state, but thank goodness I'm local. However being from Boston I can attest that the chowder is one of the best I've ever had in all of New England. The bisque is just as fantastic. Plenty of lobster meat and the sauce was buttery and rich. Can't wait to go back!

Oysters and clams for 75 cents and a dollar. Fresh and delicious. Great soup, wings and lobster! Plus happy hour margaritas.

This place isn't good. Came here for discounted lobster rolls on Wed/Thurs. I expected the portions to be skimpy, which they were, but they gave us like 10 french fries with our roll. FRENCH FRIES COST NOTHING! If you're going to skimp on the lobster for the roll, at least give customers a ton of fries so they leave full and without feeling ripped off. Waitress was also bad. We had a flat coke (which was a pepsi, and she never mentioned it - not a big deal), and after we mentioned it, she still charged us. She also was just oozing negative vibes and had a constant frown on her face. I get it, people have bad days, but it was a bit much... Also margarita didn't come with salt. Did not make for a super positive dining experience. Food took like 30 minutes to arrive too.

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.

Had an awesome happy hour at Bryac. Very fresh, clean, cold oysters and a IPA with my daughter and her friend. Was on a quest that week going to every place serving same! BRYAC won, hands done, best prices, best quality, very nice service. Interesting a fun Appetizer's also. I go back.

Amazing food!! From the guacamole which is killer to the fantastic lobster bisque. Can't wait to come back and try different items!

I came here for their $1 happy hour oysters because I was craving them!! I was not disappointed with them either. Tasted delicious and fresh. Although the margarita that I ordered was weird. It had no tequila flavor and tasted as if it was just some simple syrup with no alcohol maybe they used a little rum or vodka but couldn't tell. I definitely would have tasted tequila if there were any in it. I would come back for oysters and maybe something on draft or can but not sure if I would order another mixed drink. I also ordered the kiwi margarita first from the menu and they said they didn't have that so I did jalepeno. ‍

This place is one of the few happy hour oyster spots with dollar oysters left in the area. The oysters were great, and the service was good. The only issue I had was with the margarita I ordered. Both me and my friend ordered margaritas and both did not taste good. They were too sweet, and you couldn't taste the tequila at all. That was the only issue I found so I'm sure that if you order draft/canned drinks and food you will have a 5 star experience!

Mainly a seafood place. You can get good lobster here. I stuck with sirloin tips. Well cooked but I did end up using a1 instead of their sauce. Kind of higher end pub food. If you are looking for seafood tonight this would be a good choice tonight!

Came here for the first time for oysters on a Monday. It was a beautiful day. I came exactly at 3:00pm and sat at the bar where about four other people sat and two tables outside. The bartender was extremely overwhelmed. Flustered, scattered and I could tell she was getting frustrated with herself for messing up orders. I don't know if she was new but I told her to take her time and I wasn't going anywhere. The place filled up QUICKLY so I put in an order or 12 oysters and ordered a drink. She said it would be a while for them to come out because there was only one shucker in the back. No worries. It took about 15 min. The oysters were crisp yet melted in my mouth, ice cold and salty. Just the way I like them. Served with horseradish, mignonette, and cocktail sauce and lemon. I slurped those down quickly and easily could've ordered more if the service went a bit smoother. I watched about five people walk out because they weren't tended two even when the second bartender showed up. I've been a server, I get it, she was weeded big time and I felt bad but we didn't want to sit so we grabbed our check and left. I will DEFINITELY check this place out again as the oysters were top notch and I hope the bartender found her groove. It's not easy.

Been looking for a good happy hour since most have disappeared because of COVID. $1 oysters and $0.75 clams from 3-6pm. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the ambiance. There were about 25 people in the restaurant, retired ladies in the front window enjoying martinis, two men that just finished work at their landscaping company enjoying their meal, young professionals enjoying happy hour at the bar, and other folks eating in the dining room. We loved that there were so many different people. We watched as their orders came out. The burger and steak looked good, but next time I will get the beef tips! This time we got the lobster roll which was out of this world! There were two gals working and running the entire place. They were attentive and kind to us. We will def be back!
