    Waiter, Cameron was awesome. Menue needs more shrimp dishes. Shrimp salad, grilled shrimp on salads, side salad would also be nice. Grilled shrimp over rice, come on its called island shrimp company. Was a bit disappointed in the menu.

    Overall we loved it. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Food was so good. This was our first time, so we will most definitely return. I only took one star off because I booked outdoor seating, and when we arrived outdoors was closed. But nothing major.

    Waiter was not good. He seem like forced to serve us. He was silently standing by us while we trying to order and sort of rushing us to make an order at the same time was not clear what he is doing in his palm pc. At the end - when half of us told him what he want, but other half still thinking, we ask him give us a minute. When he return and took second half of an order, it turns out - that he already sent to kitchen our first half. Then second half was served 15 minutes later. Why it we ask a minute, don't you hold entire order except drinks. At the same time when he start serving other table - he was full of words, comments and so on. He seem like didnt like us. After all you forced us to leave 20% tips without giving us ability to choose reward for service. For this service he barely deserves a penny. When another awiter came by and ask "if you need anything?" we said - water... guess what - never happend. wow. such a service for this money.

    The servers were great. The food was okay. I was surprised how quiet it was for a Saturday. I’m glad they did away with self ordering thru the app. Shrimp tacos were good. I got them grilled vs fried.

    I was a little leary after reading the reviews, but I like to make up my own mind and not go by what others say. Our party of 4 all enjoyed their meals, starting with the crab dip with wonton chips. We will be coming back.

    Very casual and laid back atmosphere! Delaney was our server, she made us feel comfortable and was accommodating! We ordered a variety of appetizers as our meal. Both the steamed and coconut shrimp are outstanding, as well as the calamari, crab dip & wings! They were VERY generous with the portions, we had plenty to take home with us for lunch the next day!

    This restaurant was not very accommodating. Right in front of guests the staff was being rude on my son's birthday celebration. Given that it was my first time there, they should have been a bit more understanding. I mean I got it I should have gotten the party room and instead of offering it right there and then the manager just act snobbish. The waiter was good. I am from the Caribbean so hence my disappointment with the food.

    Haven’t been here since before covid and have to admit, it was kinda strange….it was 6:30pm on a Saturday night and the place was totally empty. I hope they are doing ok bc it’d be a shame to lose them. The great…atmosphere/decor, the cocktails, the food, and the value. We had a painkiller and a bahama mama and both were fantastic. For dinner we had the Lumpia (pork spring rolls), the Khalua pork sandwich and the pork plate with sweet potato fries, coconut rice, and street corn. Everything was delicious! The service was not so good. Our server was really sweet, but inattentive and not on top of it at all. Not sure why either bc like I said, there was hardly anyone there. Maybe it’s bc of the standard 20% already included, but she didn’t really seem disinterested in providing good service…she just didn’t. We sat for a good 5-7min before we were even greeted. She brought water and took drink and appetizer order pretty quickly after that. But then we did not see her again until after the bartender had brought our drinks, a food runner had brought our appetizer, and another employee was sweeping nearby and we requested he send her. We had eaten the app and drank our drinks, and we hadn’t even ordered yet. She did come back quickly falter summoned and apologized for the delay. Overall, it was still a good meal and we’ll go back for the food and drinks and hope for better service next time.

    First time here and won't go back. The food wasn't great and the service was horrible. And for 20% gratuity to be added automatically to be is wrong. Because are waitress you couldn't even hear her and she only came to our table twice!!

    We were early for our reservation, but were seated with no issues & encouraged to take advantage of the happ hour menu. We offered to our server that we would use the online ordering system, but our server kindly offered to manually enter our items for us. We did all appetizers, and they were all tasty! Great job to all!

    We came for Valentines Day dinner. I had the Fish and Chips and my date had the Blackened Mahi Mahi. She is still thinking about it. My meal was perfect as well. Heads above what I had in another local restaurant not all that long ago. The service was attentive, but not overbearing and the Manager was always available. Would L go back? In a heartbeat.

    Food was pretty good, service was quick, but a little overpriced IMO. Ambience wasn’t great. Tables were totally bare. Place was very empty for a Saturday night. But the shrimp were good!

    Island Shrimp Co.Responded on October 17, 2022Hi Mark, I'm glad you liked the food, and hope you come back with some friends for more of our delicious shrimp. Happy hour is Thursday/Friday 4-6pm, with $6 shrimp and $7 calamari!

    We drove 40 minutes to be able to enjoy the roof top bar just to discover they closed it. We arrived at 830 for our reservation just to find out they close at 9 and could only have 1 drink. Mind you this was a Friday night. We all collectively ordered & received our food quickly just to discover how awful tasting all the food was. Not 1 out of 5 of us enjoyed our food. Very overcooked but I guess that is what you get 30 minutes before closing. It’s a shame because the restaurant is gorgeous. Will never be back.

    Our server, Philip, was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tacos. They were good. My husband ordered the kahlua pork sandwich. The description sounded delicious. However it didn’t have much flavor. It was pretty bland. The pineapple upside down cake was delicious. I would return….it wasn’t a bad experience, but it wasn’t great either….because the meal wasn’t as good as we had hoped!
