Waitress and service was 5 star. For the price-point the seafood was 2 star.
Most of appetizers in our large party were average and WAY overpriced for the quality and amount.
The B&R House version of an Old Fashion was FAR too sweet even after I ordered it half sweet. Missed the mark big time.
Wife had crab cakes for her main course and it was delightful. I had the Surf and Turf. The Filet was 5 star; great flavor and cooked exactly how I'd ordered it. The lobster however, not even average in quality or flavor. A Bostonian would have been embarrassed for that poor lobster.
Dessert was 5 star as well.
As a Frequent (weekly) Chelsea's Kitchen regular, it feels as if B&R tries too hard to take it to the top step, but misses the mark. Beautiful building inside and out. The ambiance is a little loud, even though it looks as if they've tried to address this with GIANT acoustic baffling hanging in the open-faced steel trusses in the ceiling.
Good luck B&R! Keep tweaking your menu and price-point! As an Arcadia resident we'd love to see you succeed!
