Henris @ Braca Cafe — Restaurant in Sea Isle City

Arrival and Wait Time We arrived at the restaurant at 6:15 PM and were added to the waitlist by the hostess. We opted to wait at the bar, where we enjoyed a drink. However, our waiting time extended to about an hour, and we noticed other parties being seated before us. When we inquired, the hostess claimed she had called us, but our app still showed us in line.

Service Once seated, our server was excellent—very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our food took an unusually long time to arrive. Surrounding tables had already left, prompting us to ask our server about the delay. It turned out that our order ticket had never been sent in, leading to a prolonged wait in which they did offer us dessert when we requested. For dessert, we initially encountered an issue as only tiramisu was offered, which one of us was allergic to. It took some effort to get the manager to approve a switch to key lime pie, which felt unnecessarily complicated.

Ambiance The ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful, contributing positively to our experience despite the delays.

Overall Impression While the restaurant offers great food, drinks, and ambiance, there are areas for improvement in management and staff coordination. The long wait times and the confusion with our reservation and dessert order detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience. We appreciate the efforts made by the staff to rectify the issues but hope to see improvements in their...

Came to Sea Isle City OFF season. Stopped at Braca for dinner. Hostess was rude about us not having a reservation even though the restaurant was nearly empty? Our table mate was yelled at by the hostess for wearing a hat and told he had to take it off. Meanwhile everyone was wearing jeans and sneakers so clearly was not "that type" of restaurant. Two of our company ordered a beer and the other two had water but the hostess repeatedly came over to push drink specials on us (6$ cosmos!!! Really who the hell even drinks those?). I ordered the chicken parm. The chicken was good. The pasta was cold and rubbery. The sauce was disgusting and tasteless with no seasoning and clearly came from a can. I think Prego would have tasted better. We went out with the goal,of spending a night out and grabbing some drinks. Ended up leaving right after dinner to go home unsatisfied. If you are waspy and old and a Sea Isle City resident then maybe you will like it here. If you don't fall,into this category expect to be treated like the dirt on the bottom of their shoes....

Do not want to give any stars. Under new management. Yikes! Wanting to be an upscale steak / fish restaurant they changed the menu. They need to change the chef. Veal chop came out cold and filet was overdone. We were comped drinks. Tried the outdoor bar on another occasion. Burgers are back on the menu after 4:00, however, they cost $17 and come with a bag of chip. Fries are an additional $9.75. And, if you enjoy the 302s or Jersey Devils @ $12 a drink, beware they are cutting back on the alcohol. Ordered 3 Jersey and we noticed they only poured one shot of vodka for 3 drinks in the blender. Mentioned to bartender, they said this how they were instructed to make them, management came over and we asked them to test the drink. They were remade. However, if you are not watching, you will be getting cheated. Starting July 1st they will be applying a 4% charge to anyone who uses a credit card. Time to find someplace new. Good bye...
