It’s one of my favorite things to do; sit at the bar, have a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with 1/2 dozen oysters and their beautiful house salad!

Had the lobster and shrimp grilled cheese and it was decadent and delicious. I ordered it without the bacon, because it sounded out of place and I was right. It was great the way it was. Perfectly toasted bread, gooey cheese and plenty of shrimp and lobster.

A wonderful seaside restaurant with delicious food!!! The people were awesome even with the line that formed and the food top notch! After eating most of our fish and chips, we took the rest across the street to finish while gazing at the sea and listening to a busker. PERFECTION!

This restaurant has been wonderful until last evening. Waitress seemed a little edgy and spread too thin. The restaurant was way too hot as they had the large glass door open. Even upon shutting the door it was still too warm. We almost left as we were feeling so overheated. Attention to detail just wasn’t there as it usually is. It took 4 requests to get a coke.

What a great find! The service from walking in the door until I left was top notch. I ordered the crab bisque and a dozen oysters, the bisque was arguably some of the best I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot!) and the oysters were fresh with a good selection (I had the east coast). Topped it all of with their signature hurricane drink which was perfectly balanced. I will be coming here a LOT more and highly suggest Half Shells to anyone looking for great seafood dining experience

We come to this area every year for a work conference and stay around the corner at the Marriott. It is a beautiful, easy walk to the restaurant. I had the blackened crawfish and shrimp taco special. We also had the fried pickles appetizer, which was perfect. Pickles are thin chip slices, not wedges or too thick cuts.We had Paul C. who was wonderful and had a contagious smile and great energy! The entire staff seemed to flow well.100% recommended and look forward to our visit next year!

The food was just ok. I wish it had more seasoning. I had placed an order for the lobster grilled cheese, shrimp penne, and crab dip. I picked up my order. The restaurant looked nice inside. Had a decent crowd.

What a gem-A cute restaurant w nautical coastal theme serving fresh seafood!Came here for brunch and sat on the patio and 10/10 recommend it! Amazing vibe.We split a sea platter grilled w catfish, shrimp, and oyster and it was perfect for two.
If you like flavorful-seasoned food don’t do it..Really bland meals with the staff to match the food lolCalamari was good

Honestly, the food had no taste, overcooked, and poorly seasoned. The service was decent and the atmosphere lives up to its rating but other than that. I wouldn’t enjoy eating here on a regular occasion unless I got blackout drunk every single time.
Bright location with good energy and great food. The Cajun flavors came through with good balance. We really enjoyed the seafood. Grilled redfish for my wife, blackened Salmon for me, and fried catfish for the kiddos. Everyone loved their dish.The star of the meal… cheesy Parmesan rice. It tasted like an amazing Mac and cheese without the heaviness or grease that usually tags along.
