Half Shell Raw Bar is a beautiful and contemporary restaurant located in a nice area with plenty of options nearby. The ambiance is neutral-toned, quaint, and clean, creating a pleasant setting for a seafood meal. The restaurant offers several seating options, including a main dining room, oyster bar, patio, and bar area. Finding the place can be tricky at first, as the entrance is down a corridor off Hawkins Street, but once there, the service is attentive and friendly, with staff providing good recommendations.
The menu features creative and fresh takes on seafood dishes, with a focus on oysters, which can be enjoyed in various ways, including a curated oyster flight. The oyster experience is highly praised, with mention of the website providing detailed information about the oysters and house-made mignonettes. Popular items include the oysters, clam chowder, crab cake—described as moist and light—and the spicy little tails. The lobster roll is recommended, particularly the Hot Lobster Roll, which is delicious but wished to be larger. Truffle fries accompany many dishes and are highly recommended. Other standout dishes include shrimp cocktail, calamari, and the ceviche, which was missed but replaced with excellent Tuna Poke Nachos, praised for their presentation.
The restaurant also offers a happy hour with oysters and caviar slider, which guests find delightful. Drinks are noted to be well-balanced and excellent. Overall, Half Shell Raw Bar impresses with outstanding food, a nice atmosphere, and great service, making it a highly recommended spot for seafood lovers. Visitors appreciate the creative menu options and plan to return for more.
