Loved last nights experience at Shell and Bones. We arrived around 430 and scored amazing seats at the bar. We loved the ambiance and of course the view! We felt like we were on vacation - chatting with people and observing people enjoying their lobster and other gourmet goodies! We had some great IPAs, the calamari (dipping sauce spectacular), shrimp cocktail (super fresh) and oyster rockerfeller (decadent)! The bartenders were so friendly, happy and on point also. We will be back!

We also had several empty plates from our appetizers and dinner sitting on our table for a long time before they cleared the... read more

I've had two extraordinary meals here. One, a dinner for the 10th anniversary of our first date, and two, a brunch for Mother's Day. Both meals were amazing. Things not to miss: the oysters, the Moscow Mule, the scallops, the chicken liver spread, the soft egg asparagus salad, the tuna tartare, and the chowder-style co. Service was fast, solicitous, and professional, and the food is hard to match anywhere in 100 miles of this beautiful location. If you're looking for a place to celebrate an important date, or just a special ... read more

Food A+ service c atmosphere .... Soulless... Just... The view was spectacular , but as my wife and I looked around not one person in a full restaurant was smiling .... Just an uptight pretentious ( Look at me) kind of place. A little disappointed ...

Delightful meal! Every course delicious. Freshest oysters and the best bouillabaisse of my life! Delicious! I love the atmosphere and the friendly service. We were also greeted personally by the chef, whom we watched personally inspecting every dish that left his kitchen! Keep it up!!!!
