My husband, my MIL and I came to 618 for the first time last night in order to celebrate my graduation from nursing school! prior to our reservation, we sat at the bar to enjoy a drink. the bartenders were wonderful, providing suggestions and going out their way to create a fun experience with the festive holiday drinks. after getting to our table, our waitress Alexis went above and beyond! she was attentive, knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. for dessert, she went above and beyond when she created the insignia of my nursing school on my pistachio martini! it was the highlight of the entire night for me and i am very grateful! the only downside of our dinner is that we unfortunately left our leftovers on the table when we left :( overall a fabulous experience, we will be back! Also, happy birthday Alexis!!

Christmas decorations look fabulous and our meal was wonderful

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Shipwreck Grille is a must-visit. From start to finish, this restaurant delivers excellence in every aspect. The food and drinks were nothing short of amazing. We started with the seafood tower, which was an absolute standout. The freshness of the oysters, shrimp, and crab was unparalleled, and each bite tasted as if it had been pulled straight from the ocean that day. For entrees, the scallops and lobster were cooked to absolute perfection. The scallops were tender with a perfect sear, and the lobster was buttery, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The balance of flavors and textures in each dish was truly impressive, showcasing the skill of the kitchen staff. To end the meal, the desserts were equally exceptional. Whether you’re a fan of rich chocolate, creamy custards, or fruity delights, their dessert menu has something for everyone. It was the perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive, enhancing the overall experience. Shipwreck Grille sets the bar high for quality seafood and impeccable dining. This is a place you’ll want to visit again and again. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience. Food was as usual very nice, presentation was great and the overall ambiance of Aarzu had always been nice. Glad that they have maintained their standard all these years.

One of our favorite places to go for special occasions. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto, there was a filet mignon and a short rib order. Everyone raved about their food. Service has always been great!
