    Upon entering it was decorated extremely well for the holidays, over the top and very elegant. Our server, Diana, was absolutely wonderful. She knew the history of the restaurant as well as the ownership. The food was superb. Holiday cocktails were exquisite. First time there for us and I know we will be back.

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Shipwreck Grille is a must-visit. From start to finish, this restaurant delivers excellence in every aspect. The food and drinks were nothing short of amazing. We started with the seafood tower, which was an absolute standout. The freshness of the oysters, shrimp, and crab was unparalleled, and each bite tasted as if it had been pulled straight from the ocean that day. For entrees, the scallops and lobster were cooked to absolute perfection. The scallops were tender with a perfect sear, and the lobster was buttery, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The balance of flavors and textures in each dish was truly impressive, showcasing the skill of the kitchen staff. To end the meal, the desserts were equally exceptional. Whether you’re a fan of rich chocolate, creamy custards, or fruity delights, their dessert menu has something for everyone. It was the perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive, enhancing the overall experience. Shipwreck Grille sets the bar high for quality seafood and impeccable dining. This is a place you’ll want to visit again and again. Highly recommended!
