    I had a wonderful experience last night at Island Shrimp company. The Christmas vibes are amazing and the service from the bartenders was informative and fun. I highly suggest trying the Holly Jolly Punch.

    The holiday themed drinks tasted like soap (literally). The food was sub par for the most part and the Christmas vibe was … well … sad.

    Experience and service started off well. We were sat quickly and greeted promptly by a server. We were brought water and offered drinks. Our drinks came with in a reasonable amount of time for 2 beers. But from that point on the service slowed drastically. There was a significant gap between receiving drinks and server coming back to check on us and ask if we’d like to order. We ordered an appetizer, calamari, which took longer than expected. And was crispier than I like. We had finished our app and still hadn’t seen the server to order our entrees. When we did finally order the food was just average. And at no point we’re we offered additional drinks. We had to flag down the server to just get our water refilled. And after sitting for about 15 minutes after being done with our food we again had to flag down our server to get our check. All in all, not a terrible experience just an inattentive server for just okay food.
