Customer Reviews
A really nice place with an amazing view and a great atmosphere! The service was friendly and attentive, with a very polite waitress who made our experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious. My friend and I had lunch here — the soup was especially tasty, and the cappuccino was amazing! There’s also plenty of parking space, which is super convenient. Highly recommend for a relaxing meal with a beautiful view.
Shell & Bones Restaurant and Bar offers a fantastic waterfront experience right on the harbor, with beautiful views of the water that immediately set the tone. My wife and I sat at the bar and enjoyed cocktails while taking in the scenery. I ordered the clam chowder, and it was absolutely fantastic—rich, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of our visit. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the service remained great and genuinely attentive, we also had a great time talking with some of the locals which made the experience even better. This is definitely a place we would go back to for dinner, especially during the peak summer season when the harbor is full of life.
Loved my visit to Shell and Bones. Service is Superb. Beautiful ambience... clean bathrooms. Our server was delightful. Food was yummy and the Carrot ginger juice was DELICIOUS!!!! We celebrated my niece's birthday and they treated her like a queen and even offered complimentary champagne.
Amazing experience! Waterfront dining with amazing views. Even the night fall and semi hidden moon was romantic. I enjoyed the Best crab cake I've had in a while, I also enjoyed the baked ricotta with truffle oil topped with crispy onions and plum tomatoes. Our entrée was a Steamed Lobster and sides, and Farro risotto with jumbo shrimp and bacon with a puree corn sauce..excellent!! Our waiter Bo was a great entertainer, as he used to be the announcer for the Miami heats, so just imagine his personality at the table! Great place for any occasion 😀
Shells & Bones Oysters has a great vibe and a stunning view. The staff, from the receptionist to the waitress, were kind and welcoming. We loved the Oysters Rockefeller—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a safe, tasty alternative to raw oysters. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was disappointing: the fish tacos were bland, the burger was heavy and dry, and the crème brûlée was just okay. Overall, the atmosphere and service were wonderful, but the lunch menu fell flat. Next time, we’ll try the larger main menu instead.
