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.

My fault for not fully reading a menu but I got the coconut shrimp and while it wasn 't horrible it wasn 't actually coconut shrimp. The shrimp itself wasn 't seasoned, it was in a sauce but the rice was coconut. Kind of false advertising if you ask me but again, I didn 't read the menu since when you see the words coconut shrimp you would assume it 's a fried coconut crusted shrimp which it wasn 't
