    The service is exceptional. After the manager noticed that my family and I had a longer than normal wait for our food, she gifted us a free dessert. We didn’t even complain to our waitress because we realized they were busy. These are the things that make you return to a restaurant. And of course, the food being delicious too!

    I booked the igloo experience. It’s decent. This is my second year booking it. It’s not really with the $80. And the $80 doesn’t go towards anything. Yes it is a private igloo, you do have a speaker in the igloo to play music. But due to the music that the restaurant is playing already, you’d be competing with sound. The first time had more of a “wow” factor. This time didn’t have the same allure

    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.
