Best soft shell crab ? in south shore PERIOD!Oysters are as fresh as they come. Been coming to Bracco’s since 2016. Excellent seafood.Even better vibes at the bar. Love sitting here smoking a Padro and watching the boats cruise by. The live bands & music on weekends are a plus.Doreen adds a special touch at the bar. Look for the gorgeous blonde on Thursday & Sunday.??

16 bucks for a frozen drink in a plastic cup and little to no alcohol. Last time I checked, there was alcohol in Miami Vice. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The decor here is dated but the food is good. I had the oysters and steamers with a imported beer. I would recommend both as it was very very fresh. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if ur on the

The best steaks the Ace loves hands down! The ambiance on the mile is unmatched. Love the gazebos and beach front setting for seating! The music on some nights is always a plus!

Went for lunch, warm, sunny day October , relaxed atmosphere, not crowded, nice music, great service. Of course you have the best waterfront views when you sit outside. Our food was excellent ; very fresh fish & chips and nice cheese ravioli. A little pricey but if you can't understand that you're paying extra for the view you shouldn't go to places like this!

This placed is beyond over hyped. They're getting away with serving the most expensive microwaved seafood to customers. I order a lobster roll for $35 that came in a hotdog bun. 4 coconut shrimp for $25 and Fish and Chips for $25. 8 wings for $20. And don't get me started on the cool-aid drinks that didn't have any alcohol. This place is a total scam hiding behind a cool outdoor atmosphere. Just save your money and order fast food seafood from long John Silver's instead.

Dined inside the restaurant. Everything was overpriced and they served the smallest portions I've ever seen. Poor presentation for what they serve, everything was served with disposable plates and utensils. $20 for a 'shrimp cocktail' and it only came with 4 shrimps...........Dont recommend dining in, maybe the club side is way better.

Not bad and was worse two years ago. Cooks must have been changed and the waitresses seems to be more service oriented. The one bad take away is that no one ought to be insulted by a seemingly drunken person. Security ought be more vigilant for those who have had a little or a lot more drinks than they can handle.

Everything was cold and tasteless. I forced myself to finish my meal and the bill was $217. I feel absolutely horrid for wasting so much money. Waited almost 15 + mins after asking for the bill for the waitress to come collect it so I can leave. Fish was chewy, cold & tasteless. Calamari was cold, rubbery & burnt.. waste of time & money. do not order food from here. Everything was seriously over priced & disgusting!!

Food was horrible. Service was even worst. This is the second time we have visited and the only reason we reconsidered is because we believe in second chances AND next door was packed (which makes sense). We should of known better that it was going to be a waste of money once again. Never again!

Positives: The steamers and grilled octopus appetizers were delicious and the waterfront seating is lovely. Negatives: 1. Service was atrocious. The server was almost intentionally slow. She barely checked in on us and when she was present, she just came across with so much attitude. Upon receiving the octopus appetizer, we requested clean plates (we had used the first set on steamers and they're paper plates so were soggy). We waited a bit and then, not wanting the dish to get cold, I went and requested plates from the bar area. By the time she did come back (with plates, a latent drink and a snarky comment) we were basically done with that app. The most frustrating example was when someone in our party was looking to order a second beer. We could not locate our server anywhere. I asked another server if we could order a drink through her (no) or could she find our server (she didn't know who was working our section and didn't offer to find out). A second server I asked did say she would find her for us. 2. The food is fair to middling at best. Tried a fellow diner's fried clam strip: zero seasoning so it was just flavorless breading. Two of us ordered the lobster roll which had a good amount of meat but was seasoned with nothing more than a LOT of mayonnaise. Neither of us could detect any imparted flavor like tarragon or dill. Or salt or pepper or celery or anything but mayonnaise. Now, here's the kick in the teeth: the lobster roll, we were told, comes with potato chips, which I assumed would perhaps be housemade kettle chips or something worthy of a $32+ entree. No. No, no. It comes with a single serve bag of "40% less fat than regular potato chips" Lay's, that I can only assume were on coupon at the BJ's up the road. I cannot fully articulate how insulting that was. 3. The check included an "admin fee" of $9.27. I mean, what bureaucratic nonsense is this? Who are these administrators? What exactly required administration? What am I paying to have administered? This bland food served on paper plates by some disgruntled fly by night employee was made just that much worse. And I know that Woodcleft Canal businesses make their bones in the short summer season so some gouging here and there is not uncommon. However, some of us aren't seasonal customers so maybe think about encouraging an experience we'd want to repeat.
