Maro Shrimp House — Restaurant in City Centre

Where to start. Took my 3 kids to eat some seafood and boy were we disappointed. The servers were great, the music was loud, it was do dark that you couldn't see what you were served. I got the "special" which was a New York Strip and some shrimp, my kids ages 18, 16 and 10 got the shrimp by the kilo. Each of them ordered a Kilo to be clear. The menu is written for US dollars so that was nice. You expected a 20 dollar and 5 dollar drink to be somewhat satisfying, we were completely wrong. My New York Strip was from Jersey! It was tough, dry, and came from the carcass of probably a young steer. my 3 three medium shrimp looked like they were pummeled and had zero taste. Like ZERO. Gulp a mouth full of air, yeah that's how they tasted. My kids ate their "kilo" of shrimp all 5 of them on a plate of with literally a table spoon of rice spread across the plate and a mushy squash and carrot for the garnish.

Graffiti is a nice way to leave a mark as a customer except for the fact that some feel compelled to write the n-word (hard “er”) prominently in the bathrooms. I didn’t feel comfortable enough to ask for a resolution in person, but if the owners could assure me that this is being addressed I’d be happy to bump their score up.

UPDATE: The graffiti I’m im referring to was in the hand wash area next to a mirror. The owners contacted me right away and said they would remove it. I appreciate the...

I love the atmosphere of this place, and all the college flags. I let my daughter get up and sign her flag kind of a fun experience, the bulldog drink, and the experience with that is not to be missed!!! The shrimp are huge and super tasty no matter if grilled or fried. Lastly, the staff is so welcoming. I left my credit card there called the next day and they had it, I was very impressed that they asked for my tea before giving it back to you feel like you are part of the family!!! The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 ⭐️ is I wish the lighting was just a little bit better (I’m old or at least my eyes are) and it’s hard to...
