I was there for lunch with family, been there before and perhaps wrote a review. It used to be decent 5 years ago or so but now it is not: lobster mac and cheese smell old and dead lobster, the mussels were probably dead the...day before with a bouillon that tested like bad water. My lobster bisque was more cream than lobster and old cream, returned it! Menus changed, some good items were removed and of course prices went up. But most importantly is quality, which has been down the toilet long time ago. Lobster bisque, mussels in white wine, lobster mac and cheese, all of those dishes were horrible and it used to be pretty good in the past but not now,,More

I had a lovely evening tonight with a dear friend at Killer Shrimp. Our waitress was wonderful and very accommodating. And to top the evening off we had an amazing time learning more about this location from the conscientious manger named Page. She too was...accommodating and very conscientious of the needs of customers. Page had such a pleasant personality and her dedication to the restaurant was impressive. I definitely look forward to returning for music and the comedy experience. Thank you for a respectful and pleasant experience!!!More

Brilliant first meal of the holiday - sat out in the sun, overlooking the marina. Great service, no wait to get seated and served. Good pancakes and egg breakfasts. Would highly recommend! Apparently we need to go back as the killer shrimp is (obviously) the...highlight of the menu!!More

Wish I could start my day here everyday! We went to Killer Shrimp for breakfast, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The setting is great, wasn’t too busy, we were seated on the patio overlooking the Marina. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito which ended...up being one of the better breakfast burritos I’ve ever had. The portions were large, the quality was great, and the price was extremely affordable. I’m from Vancouver BC, and typically a breakfast of that calibre goes for $20. I would 100% comeback to Killer Shrimp and try more of their menu.More

We arrived late afternoon after arriving from Atlanta and were famished. We had read good things about the restaurant so we decided to give it a try. First, the restaurant was chilly inside, probably about 60-65 degrees. Just not very inviting. Started with two appetizers,...popcorn shrimp and fish tacos. The food arrived promptly and looked great but the honeymoon was over pretty quickly. The food was really under salted and quite bland. We added salt but still not much flavor. We decided to skip the mains and went elsewhere for dinner.More

Wow! We went for late lunch on Dec 3, 2022. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Service was really quick - the restaurant was only about 75% full. I ordered shelled Killer Shrimp, and my wife had shrimp scampi. The Killer shrimp...was amazing. The broth was really tasty – just the right amount of zing! And there mast have been 20 jumbo shrimp mixed in. Maybe the best shrimp meal I’ve ever had. I also had a side of mashed potatoes, which were also really tasty. My wife’s shrimp scampi was excellent as well – grilled just right. She had a side of asparagus which was also really good. Price was quite reasonable. Between the quality of the food, the reasonable cost, and the beautiful day, it was a great experience.More

I don't think I have ever been to a louder restaurant. Everyone had to yell just to be heard which only increased the noise level. Do not come here with anyone you actually want to speak to. The food is OK, some pleasant sauces complement...well prepared seafood. Not sure how a restaurant can run out of wine glasses but hearing plates being constantly dropped might explain it. Really hard to justify the price.More

A venue that we always visit when coming to LA. The menu is getting larger but our favourite is always the broth with shrimp. If you can get an outside table on the deck it's shaded and on the marina edge.

When we complained to the manager about our $21 mussel appetizer comprising only 12 mussels, he wasn’t interested. He was even less interested when we explained that we were only able to eat nine of the 12 mussels because the other three hadn’t opened. Yet,...after spending another $200 on food and wine, the mussels still showed up on our bill. Don’t waste your time going here. There are much better places to go that actually care about customer service.More

Our 3 hour meal was absolutely terrible. The food is actually decent. The service is Beto d bad. After waiting forever for a table we were seated and waited 45 min to get our drinks. After another 15-20 min we ordered. Our appetizer was never...delivered and one of our entrees was never delivered. Our server was non existent and the manager was apologetic but unwilling to discount our check other than taking our drinks off. After 3+ hours I had the privilege of paying $150 for this terrible experience. Read all the reviews on Yelp and Google and make up your own mind but the food is not worth the frustration. There are many better options nearby. I’m not one to review positively or negatively but this dining experience was so beyond bad I felt it necessary to warn others.More

We had the spicy shrimp pasta delicious. The seared ahi tuna was yummy. The waiters were rushed, sweaty abrupt over worked and hurried. They were very late in serving the main entrée of 1 of us and he ended up eating alone.
