“We decided to check out Shell for our anniversary dinner and it was just amazing. The atmosphere was quiet, dimly lit and classy. Great choice for a date night! We decided to make reservations at the bar due to the availability of seating in the main dining room. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chef and his staff do their magic. They were friendly and professional yet fun too!

Our server Diana M was wonderful. She was so professional, polite, knowledgeable and attentive. She made us feel special and taken care of from the minute we sat down. She started by serving a complimentary Amuse Bouche to get started which was so unique and delicious. We then enjoyed some delicious oysters and great wine( wine list has some great offerings) We then chose the fish of the day which was seasoned grilled Swordfish with roasted zucchini and house made pickled roasted potatoes all sitting on a light and delicious saffron sauce - omg delicious! We can’t wait to go back to try some of the other delicious looking entrees, as well as the “Chefs 7 Course Tasting Menu” which was a great assortment of their menu options and very reasonably priced. The selections all sounded and looked amazing.

We would highly recommend Shell not only for the delicious food but for the incredible service and beautiful atmosphere. They don’t have a huge menu but they focus on making what they do offer the most delicious food you’ll have ! Go check them out for a special experience.“

“We hosted my 50th birthday party at The Bar, and it was absolutely perfect! Tarrah made the entire planning process so easy with her responsiveness, organization, and attention to every detail. A huge thank you to Laura for helping create an amazing signature cocktail that was such a fun and personal touch!

The bartenders, Kathryn and Stef took wonderful care of everyone throughout the evening, making the event run seamlessly.

The space is ideal for a party, with both indoor and outdoor areas that gave everyone room to mingle, plus the flexibility to bring in our own food. Everything came together beautifully, and it truly made for such a special and memorable night. I can’t thank the entire team at The Bar enough and highly recommend them for your next event!“
