In this local stalwart perched alongside busy Saquatucket Harbor, you can get a menu tip-off as you pass by tanks full of steamers and lobsters in the corridor leading to the dining room. The restaurant sprawls around a big bar that serves specialty drinks such as the Banzai (frozen piña colada with a float of dark rum). The swordfish with pineapple-mango salsa and the herb-crusted Chatham scrod are favorites, both served simply and well. And if you've been after the ultimate lobster roll -- and never thought you could get full on one -- sample the one at Brax Landing, bursting with the meat of a 1¼-pound lobster. There's also a notable children's menu, and Sunday brunch is an institution.
