Ok Food, Bad Service. However, Hush Puppies a must!

I love the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in San Francisco, but was not too happy with my service or the food here. Our waitress was pleasant enough, but she never one checked on us during the meal. When we put the “Stop” sign to get the attention of a member of the wait staff we had the same busser twice who gave us attitude when we asked for silver wear or for our salad that we did not receive. In the end our salad was not brought to us, but we were still charged for it. The waitress, however, fixed our receipt once we informed her we never received our salad. I normally love the shrimp platter that comes with coconut shrimp, hush puppies, fried shrimp, and peel and eat shrimp, but the peel and eat shrimp tasted anything but fresh. They were so bad in fact that I felt instantly sick upon eating them. Needless to say we left them in tact. Also the french fries were soggy and dripping with oil. They might have well been oil fries, because that is all you could taste. The hush puppies and fried shrimp, however, were delicious as usual. I have to say this is my second time having less than par food here and bad service. The price is a little too inflated for the poor quality overall of food, but the portions are big. I suggest sharing an entree if you choose to eat here, but I'm sure there are much better shrimp restaurants in Waikiki. I just need to find them. I do recommend the hush puppies. They are just delicious fried morsels of shrimp, cornmeal, and white fish cooked to perfection.
