When we (there was 5 of us) first arrived here, we were told there was a 30-40 minute wait time. We were completely understanding as it was Mother's Day and stood by the door since there was no more space in the little waiting area and it was raining outside. The hostess got angry at us for standing by the door and told us very rudely to move out of the way. We scooted out the way without saying anything and continued to wait. After a while, they called us to come back to the table only for the table to not be cleaned at all and they sent us back to the waiting area. When they called us again, there was a small group of people taking pictures and we waited for them to finish. The hostess told us to wait for us to go, even though we already were, and continued to look angrily at us. After we got seated, we all ordered together. The waitress messed up our drink order but we weren't mad at her or anything, the place just opened and we knew they were working on a very busy day so we were understanding and she fixed it quickly. The food came out one by one, each dish taking about 10 minutes to come out. We were a little weirded out by that but we just waited.
The salt and pepper shrimp. That's what I ordered.
The salt and pepper shrimp LOOKED appetizing on the menu from the picture. When the fried shrimp arrived, I took a bite, only for it to be CRUNCHY. I thought, "That's weird..." and had my friend take a bite of it as well. We both found out they left the SHELL on the shrimp and just coated it with the breadcrumbs and fried it. Now I'm no shrimp expert, but leaving the shell on means they never peeled it meaning they never CLEANED it. The waitress comes by and we explained it to her only for her to say we have to peel the shrimp ourselves. So the fried shrimp... we have to peel ourselves... which takes away the flavor of the fry... it made no sense. We tried it again and it was A. not fully cooked and B. had absolutely no flavor because we had to PEEL THE FLAVOR OFF?? I was genuinely stunned. The waitress said that she's eaten it like this before and that we could eat the shell if we desired to. What...
I love seafood, truly, but this really... REALLY ruined shrimp for me and I'm honestly shocked me and my friend didn't get sick from it. This was.. NOT okay. read more
