The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.
Great place to get lobster
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Hard Shell went above and beyond my expectations. The food is well-plated and scrumptious. The decor is chic, the dress code isn’t uptight, and the drink menu is explorative. Ladies Try the “Expat” with honey 🍯 habanero moonshine. 🫶🏽 Overall, 5 stars.
