Stopped in with a friend for an afternoon bite after hitting the Zappos Downtown Showdown...mostly because it was close by and they had a newbie check-in special on Foursquare: Free appetizer with the purchase of an entree and beverage. My friend and I decided to share. We were told that our entree could only be ordered from a specific area of the menu to get the check-in special.
We ordered the Maui Beach Balls appetizer. Deep-fried balls of something (I think there may have been some shrimp and cheese in them) that came with 3 dipping sauces. They were "ok".
For our entree we ordered Baja Shrimp which was described as seasoned and grilled and accompanied by pineapple rice and a vegetable. What we got was some sort of taco plate, which wasn't part of the designated section we were told we had to order from. (I thought it was strange when the waitress asked if we wanted sour cream and guacamole with our grilled shrimp, but I just thought "Okaaaay..." and asked for it on the side.) Anyway, I sent it back because that's not what I ordered.
So then the correct entree showed up. The shrimp were grilled, I guess, but not in the least bit seasoned. Not even with salt. Or garlic. Or butter. Or citrus. Or anything even remotely Baja-like. There might have been a minute amount of pepper. They were flavorless, chewy and dry. They tasted like the wood skewers they came on. The pineapple rice was very pineapple-y but also very dry. The vegetable accompaniment was broccoli, which was actually phenomenal. VERY flavorful. It was the best thing on the plate.
The service was meh. But we still tipped over 20% because we're locals and that's just how we roll.
Shout-out to Jeremiah, who was on stage doing an acoustic guitar set. He was funny and a talented singer/guitarist. And the reason I'm giving Mickie Finnz 3 stars instead of 2.
