Summer, Seafood, and Sippin’ Elite Event

Awesome event as always there was seafood, beer, and cool San Antonio Elite Unilocalers. I tried Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy for the first time; thought it was good. The Sea Island food was great I’m always up for some fried seafood. I had a chance to try some of the other foods they had to offer. I have always been a fan of Sea Island, and now I love it. It always fun to mingle with my fellow Elite Unilocalers, and meet new faces. What other combination would you ask for other then good seafood, beer and cool Elite Unilocalers. I know I always have a blast at Unilocal Elite events. Thanks! Gloria I give the Summer, Seafood, and Sippin’ Elite Event Five Stars.

This was my very first Elite event, and I was very pleased with it! The food was amazing; I have been to Sea Island several times before, so nothing was new to me, but still delicious! It was my first time trying the Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, which was great (I love citrus-​y beers). The ceviche was hands down my favorite dish served. The little swag bags were great, the popcorn was delicious and I loved the sunglasses and shirt. I can’t wait to go to the next event!

Boy-​O-​Boy did Sea Island do us good! (and that’s coming from a vegetarian)
Giving Unilocal complete control over their private room was brilliant, and we filled it to the brim. Their spread of food was awesome, it looked like everyone had more than enough to eat by the end of it all. A couple of summertime brews and a half-​dozen hush puppies and I was good to go. And speaking of «to-​go» on our way out the door Sea Island set us up with great goodie bags! It was def a great mixer and way for Sea Island to show off their fancy new face lift!
My only regret is the fact we failed to get a Unilocal group pic on the playground, but now I’m just being nit-​picky :)
Great job again Glo, can’t wait for the next one :)

This event was a great way to enjoy my long time favorite restaurant. I have been visiting this location and all the other locations in SA since I was a kid so I definitely appreciated their new décor and colors.
Sea Island and Gloria really know how to throw an event! Sea Island kept the food coming in and Coors Light kept the beer cold and free! I already have my favorite dish, lemon pepper fish but after the event I will now order the ceviche and onion rings.
I had tons of fun and I loved the opportunity to meet new fellow Unilocalers. So far I haven’t met one person that I didn’t want to meet.

This Unilocal event was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. We were told there would only be samples and not to expect dinner but it was a full meal of yummy sea food goodness. When we arrived, one side of the parking lot was blocked off so we had to park on the street. The restaurant was packed but the hostess pointed us in the right direction to the private room for Unilocalers! The free beers were great and the company was fantastic! It was great to meet everyone. I was jonsing for something sweet to cap off the night but otherwise, we were well taken care of. And thanks for the goody bag! That was awesome!

This event was fantastically delicious!!! Gloria and Sea island really outdid themselves with this event. Like every elite event, we always meet new, awesome, local people while indulging on DELICIOUS calories! The remodeling looks great in this location and the other Sea Islands should consider this bright, new look. As always the food is always fantastic. The ceviche is always PERFECT! We got goodie bags filled with cool gifts. I am in love with the Unilocal Sunglasses!!! It was a great evening of socializing while having a great dining experience. A++++++

Awesome event! Sea Island was a gracious host. Their renovated location is beautiful-​open and airy. The ceviche was yummy. It’s not something I would normally order at Sea Island so I was pleasantly surprised to have the chance to sample it. Delish!

Sea Island hosted the Unilocalers of San Antonio and did an awesome job. They completely renovated the space to include an awesome new patio with opening overhead doors to create a very trendy place to eat and drink on nice days!
And my boyfriend and I are long-​time sea island fans, but even this experience opened us up to items we never guessed would be on their menu… like the ceviche and mexican ceviche as well as the calamari! Even the chicken fingers were delicious!
I cannot even place the special spices used in the ranch that made it pop— it was awesome, and I used it on everything from the calamari to the onion rings!
The free samples of Summer Shandy beer was an added plus too! Never would have thought to try it, and now I am not sure what summer would be without it!
Free goodie bags from Gloria are an added plus :)
We will DEFINITELY be coming back. And thank you for such a wonderful evening! Service with a smile, we love it!

A summer blowout Unilocal Elite Event!
Who doesn’t love being greeted with a lei and a cold Lenny’s Lemon Shandy?
I loved the remodel of Sea Island! It is more open and brighter and just more welcoming all in all. What a difference a new color palate makes, no more dark wood, now you are surrounded with pine and corrugated steel. Very now and nautical.
Let me tell you that I was blow away by the amazing buffet table full of seafood. They had two appetizers; cerviche and Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, both were amazing but my fav was the cerviche which was bursting with flavor and avocado and jalapeño. The calamari, fish sticks, hush puppies etc just kept coming out hot and fresh. The folks from Sea Island were wonderful, even bringing out to go containers!
I loved rubbing elbows with some new faces and getting hugs from some of the seasoned Elite!
I’m going to push for my office have our next event/​get together there.
Big thanks to Glo who always seems to work miracles and sent us on our way with the cutest swag bags!

What a great event! Had tons of fun and stuffed myself with the awesome seafood. Big props to Gloria for putting together such a fun summer event and kuddos to Sea Island and Coors Light for the food and refreshments. Sea Island has done a fantastic job with their remodel and I really like the new feel of the restaurant.
I can’t say enough about Sea Island. I have loved their shrimp for as long as I can remember and this event provided lots of them… sweet delicious shrimp. The spread of ceviche, fish, chicken tenders and onion rings was almost too much to handle. I loved them all and helped myself several times.
I must mention the beer that Coors Light brought. I drank not only my share but also my wife’s share of the new Summer Shandy and boy were they delish. That beer could be dangerous. Its so tasty I could see where you could start losing count of how many you’ve drank real fast.
Overall the experience was great so great in fact that I took the family the very next night for dinner and stuffed ourselves all over again.
Did I mention I love being Unilocal Elite??? Great events. Great People. Great food.

My first Unilocal Elite event! How could it not be the most amazing thing EVER?!
First of all, gotta say, Gloria and the folks from Sea Island hooked us up royally! For those who love all things fried, there was a spread of battered delicacies that would have made Paula Deen blush (then again, she’s got a lot to blush about these days…) And for those like myself who simply love fried food too much, and might be trying to cut down, they had an assortment of delicious ceviches, too! It was all super tasty!
AAAND, Leinenkugel’s was giving out my favorite kind of beer! Free beer! Seriously, though, there could have been no more appropriate beer to wash down Sea Island’s tasty fare than Summer Shandy! Perfect!
And just when I thought the fun was over, we were all handed Unilocal gift bags overflowing with jolly sea swag! Yaaarrrrrr, Matey!!! Booty fit for a king!!!
Wow. Yeah, I went there… anyway, this was an awesome first Unilocal event for me, and I look forward to many more to come!

My husband and I attended the Elite party at Sea Island. We’ve never been there and were pleasantly surprised! The food was great (especially the coconut shrimp and the fried calamari), and how can you go wrong with free Summer Shandy beer! Gloria was the hostess with the mostest, as always, and the goodie bags (with a Sea Island tee shirt!) were a nice surprise. The Elite crowd was awesome… I love meeting so many new people! I can’t forget to mention the service –the servers were on point… great service!
We are looking forward to visiting Sea Island again, this time to have dinner with our son… can’t wait!

Awesome summer fun with my Unilocal friends at the Elite Event! The food was excellent! Especially the calamari! Yum! I definitely didn’t leave hungry :) The owners of Sea Island stopped by our table and thanked us for coming– they were very friendly and hospitable, and they truly care about their restaurants.
Not only did the Elites and their guests receive hospitable service and AMAZING food, the Elites got gift bags, complete with summer essentials (floatie, red Unilocal wayfarers, snacks, and coupons to Sea Island!).
I can’t wait for my next event! Have a wonderful summer everyone ;)

This was my first ever Unilocal Elite event, so I really didn’t know what to expect because I can be a bit of an introvert at times. Gloria C. made me feel right at home and took some time to visit with me and my lady, Sandra, just clueing us on the protocol and culture of the Unilocal network. I had never been to Sea Island before, so had had no basis of comparison but greatly enjoyed the food and the hospitality shown to our Unilocal unit and will absolutely return. I like that this place is local and the food was solid, especially the ceviche ! Plus, I got a little gift bag on the way out, what else can a boy ask for really? Glad I decided to attend, look forward to future events!

Summer, seafood and sippin’, sounds like an awesome combination. And that was the Unilocal event at sea island shrimp house all about!
It is always fun hanging with Gloria and the Unilocal crew. This time was not an exception. The turn out was great. When I walked into our private room, I saw a full house of old and new elite Unilocalers. Everyone all seemed to be having a great time. I sat next to Rudy R. and we talked about my recent trip to SPI and compared notes about the restaurants over there. Also I finally met Stephen C. who’s the liker of all my Unilocal check-​ins and pictures (lol) and asked him about his visit to my favoriate Chinese restaurant in town. Of course, I made some new friends too. And I took a bunch of pictures with Gloria, fun!
Sea island shrimp house was more than generous: unlimited shrimp cocktails, fried shrimps, ceviche, onion rings, etc. My favorite was the fried oyster, oh wait, maybe that was calamari, so tasty! They also had beer but I am not a beer drinker so I opted to have water. Later they even brought out to-​go boxes for us to take some food home! And I am not forgetting about the goodie bag either. Talk about hospitality!
The only reason I didn’t give a five star is b/​c I try not to eat too much fried food. So i felt bad about my guilty pleasure. But regardless the food was good. The event was top notch. Thanks so much, Gloria and Sea Island Shrimp House! Here is to summer, seafood and sippin’!

Yet another awesome Elite Event! Glo worked with Sea Island to create a fun midweek event for us. The staff at Sea Island was beyond wonderful and made us all feel very welcome.
When we arrived, we all got lei’d by Gloria (ya see what I did there?) given drink tickets, and were directed to the buffet table. Now, I have to tell on myself here: Despite being a San Antonio transplant, I’d only been to Sea Island once. Who knew how much I was missing out?! From the ceviche, to the killer shrimp cocktail, to he coconut shrimp, everything was delicious. And the hush puppies? You always have me at hush puppies!
Sea Island even sent us out with some swag bags, including a SISH tshirt! So sweet, right?
And of course, I can’t help but love the fact that the default page for this event is Walter S trying to feed me a hush puppy!

Great event. Three cheers for Gloria and Sea Island Shrimp House.
So nice to see so many elites out at this awesomely fun event.
Sea Island was very focused on making sure that we were all enjoying ourselves. So much food. And they brought out to go boxes so you could take some with for latter.
I like the lighter and brighter feel this location now has. Not so cave like.
We all got great goodie bags too.
A wonderful night of Unilocal fun.

I really enjoyed this event!
The food was great and PLENTIFUL! The service was fantastic. The Leinenkugel Summer Shandy went so well with the food that was served. Normally, I’m all for the open bar type events, but I didn’t even feel like I was missing out because the summer shandy was just so perfect with the food. And to top it off, the bag with the Unilocal and Sea Island goodies is awesome! I’ll definitely be rocking my Unilocal sunglasses!

FTR! Woot!
The new Sea Island Shrimp House (SISH) look is a lot brighter than before. Instead of the dark blue-​ish colors and dark wood, SISH took the colors up a few notches and went orange and pine-​colored (or just pine) wood. The seating area is generally the same but the hostess stand and waiting area feels more open and inviting. Great job, folks!
Mr. Moses & Ana from SISH took care of me and my non-​alcohol request (lemonade) and even asked me if I wanted to cap it off again before leaving for the night. Talk about customer service and talk about making sure we were fed! There was food for miles! Coconut shrimp, fried fish, fries, chicken strips, ceviche, you name it! Moses & Ana even had to go boxes for us so we could take food home. Me, personally, I would have just walked away with all the trays but since I had to share, I thought it a good idea I take the boxes instead.
Then there were the folks from Leinenkugel’s who introduced Summer Shandy to our wonderful group of San Antonio Unilocalers! I did have a swig or two… or three… and it was wonderfully refreshing!!! Definitely a great accompaniment to the food that was served for us. And this comes from someone who doesn’t drink very often (if you didn’t already know).
Ms. Gloria, of course, our hostess with the mostess greeted everyone, gave us goodie bags complete with sunglasses, popcorn, and other treats, and as always made sure everyone was happy (including the SISH employees and Leinenkugel ambassadors).
What a great event. I was so happy that it was a little bit closer to my side of town as well. :)
