I’ve heard a lot about Blue Shrimp but was not happy with the overall experience. The prices are very high for the quality of the food. The liquors prices are VERY high, considering every drink was $349 pesos and the cheapest bottle of wine was $1200 pesos. We had a popcorn shrimp for the table and my wife and shared a Caesar salad, the salad food was good but not for the price made it difficult to really feel like it was worth it. Caesar salad was around $340 pesos, in Canadian that $25.00 salad for about 7 leaves of romaine and a dressing made at the table.. again it was good but not great and we Didn’t feel worth the value.
The biggest thing for me was the service, it was good and we tipped accordingly at 20% of our total bill for a total of around $700 pesos, but the waiter referenced adding a cocktail to my bill for him after his shift, I ignored it and then he asked our friends when they paid, if they wanted to ROUND up the tip over and above their tip of 20%, our friends politely declined. We found the waiter very nice and pleasant but he may have thought his comments are funny but when you’re not happy about the food and experience, especially the overall value, to question are already 20% (we feel very generous tip for the experience) is annoying. We will not be going back. Lots of restaurants that have better food and better value. Sorry, we heard a lot about Blue Shrimp but Didn’t live up to the hype.
