We stopped here for a drink while exploring Lunenburg and it was the perfect place to relax. The staff were very friendly, service was quick, and the drinks were delicious. We sat in the back facing the water, and the view was absolutely lovely. A great spot to unwind!

We stopped by primarily for drinks but I couldn't resist ordering some oysters. Great view from the patio and excellent service. We both had one of the drink specials which was a watermelon Margarita and they were super refreshing and tasty. We would definitely return.

Great selection of oysters and the seafood tower was great. Sat at the bar and such all the food go out and didn’t see something I wouldn’t try. The pasta with clams and scallops looked really good.

Absolutely the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a great vibe all around. The staff were in such good spirits, super friendly, and made us feel right at home. We wish we could come here for lunch more often - it’s a true gem in Lunenburg!

Came here for carbonara with scallops, but unfortunately the menu changed. I settled on Linguine & Clams; it was a pesto sauce that overall was okay if you like the taste of clams. As well, tried the Chowder, which was too creamy and pretty expensive for vegetable soup. Also, confused why it’s just chowder and not seafood chowder. The Seafood Risotto was good. But the best food item was the Chocolate Pot. It was very rich, but not too sweet. At least a nice end to a disappointing dinner.

I had a great experience at The Half Shell Oysters & Seafood in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The chowder was disappointing, too watery. The mussels, clams, scallops and shrimp were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Food was good. Servers were hard to track down at times and a bit or or miss checking in.

The Half Shell Oysters & Seafood is a must-visit!
First, the food: our mixed selection of oysters was outstanding, and the in-house smoked salmon—WOW—absolutely phenomenal. Both dishes deserve rave reviews for their freshness and flavor.

Next, the waitstaff: truly perfect. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, they guided us through the menu with ease and great recommendations.

And finally, the views—just incredible. You simply can’t beat them.

Hats off to The Half Shell Oysters & Seafood for delivering fantastic food, stellar service, and unbeatable scenery.

Best chowder I have ever had. All members of my family asked to try some! Excellent service and a great view of the Bluenose 2 leaving for a cruise. Everyone said their choice of food- from al pastor tacos to steamed mussels to clams & linguine- was delicious! Wish I could go back!
