Island Bistro Bar & Grill

Tonight we celebrated my beautiful daughter Faith. It was her 21st birthday. From the moment I entered this I knew it was going to be a good night. Germoni and Lajoi we're both very hospitable. They went above and beyond. Germoni asked me what my daughter liked so that she could put it on the card. Unbeknownst to her that my daughter loved SpongeBob. I told her that she loved pineapples and butterflies. Germoni took the time to make a personal card for my not only did she draw it she colored it and then gave it to me so I can give it to my daughter. Now that's what the best customer service I have ever had in any restaurant that I have reviewed. I do have over 5 million views of my reviews that I have done I am in the top 10% of Google reviewers. I want everyone to know that this might not be The boathouse like one other customer told on my way in. But this restaurant has its own style and flare. Each individual's personality suits the atmosphere of this establishment. I was even able to meet the manager and talked with her. I want to recommend the garlic shrimp and the grilled bok choy. My daughter had the shrimp tacos. One of the young ladies at the party had a cowboy Burger she was very happy with that and one of our girls got a Cobb salad and that was amazing. We got the calamari the crispy calamari that was really really good as well. The place was clean it was neat it was well-organized. And I definitely have to get props to the professionals who prepared our food. Thank you for making my daughter's 21st birthday one of the best ever. I am definitely going to recommend this restaurant whether you're just passing through or you live locally. This mama bear was very happy about her visit to this restaurant. Props to the management that was on duty that night. Thank you so much for the wonderful crew you had on board helping you out. And even brought my daughter a piece of pineapple upside down cake with a lit candle as we song Happy Birthday. You just can't beat that and if you're interested you can enjoy the photos that we took as well I'm about to post those. Thank you again ladies and gentlemen we really had a wonderful time. I will be back for the garlic shrimp

We went here during their happy hour and we enjoyed every minute. First of, the view was phenomenal and they music playlist created a very relaxing chill vibe. Second, the food was good. You get a lot a lot for happy hour prices. Lastly, the outdoor setting makes you feel like your in an island.

We were seated and we received water and then no one approached us. Blu was seating someone else and asked if we had been taken care or. She did a phenomenal job and made sure that we had a great experience. Thank you.

The view at Rocketts Landing is perfect! The music was great! I'm an island girl, I love afrobeats. The drinks were pretty and strong, the coconut shrimp has real coconut sprinkled over them and the dipping sauce!!!! 👌🏾👌🏾 the fish tacos were great as well. Lastly but definitely not least, the staff!! Very attentive and friendly. The manager is a sweetheart as well. Love it here! 10 out of 10! Definitely recommend!

My family and I loved the atmosphere. I personally think that's what makes this restaurant worth the visit. I decided to rate this restaurant 4 out of 5 because they weren't very attentive to our needs. I didn't feel welcomed. The waiters didn't ask us if we needed anything. (and the restaurant wasn't busy) It seems like their making money regardless. (I guess they don't need to be attentive to guests) Island Shrimp Co. definitely gives island vibes. The restaurant was spacious and clean. Being on the James River is a plus. Especially when the weather is nice.
