I small group of us dined at SheShells recently and mostly, were upbeat about the evening. The tall young man seemed a little tense when we arrived and sat us down to our table. He seemed like he was under the pump. There was also a shorter young guy working and maybe he was new, but he didn't really seem to know what he was doing. Maybe he could have been learning the ropes? Service was a little slow in getting us some drinks but eventually they arrived and we started to settle down. We had already pre-arranged seafood platters and so didn't need to study any menus. Two reasonable platters of prawns arrived at our table but the tall waiter guy didn't seem to cotton onto the fact that we had no plates or water bowls or even a bowl to put the prawn shells in. We had to politely ask if we could get the previously mentioned items and he apologised and raced off to get them. The shelled prawns were very nice and since I don't eat oysters, I can't comment on those but I was told they were very nice. The platters of scallops were nice but a little small which is a bit unusual because we had eaten a couple of times recently at seafood restaurants in the city and they had decent size scallops being offered. Maybe this was the result of their supplier? The side salad was basic but nothing to really write home about. A lady showed up during the evening around 8:00 p.m. and we noticed the tall young waiter seemed to be more at ease now that help had arrived. It seemed a fairly busy night and I would have thought that there should be at least three competent people in front of house right from the outset. We are a relatively easy bunch to please and whilst we enjoyed the evening, we left with a feeling of not being completely contented. By all means, give them a visit and see what you think.

Little funky seafood restaurant tucked away from the main drag, didnt even know it existed if it wasn't for the entertainment book. Family run business offering good quality seafood of all soughts, its actually unique in a way as these guys are the first ive heard of to cook everything in coconut oil which gives all the food a unique flavour as well as filling the restaurant with a coconut aroma, they say its also supposed to be better for you than vegetable oil but i heard there was a study done saying it was a load of hogwash, even so it still tasted alright. They also have a selection of fresh fish which very few other places offer including stingray which they reckon they have just started using. Only disappointment for me was we waited about 40 minutes for our meals to come out after ordering but in saying that the restaurant was chocka block. They offered us a free serve of garlic bread to make up for it but by the time i received my meal my chips were cold but in saying that the tuna sashimi was absolutely delicious and would come back just for that. I think i will definitely be back as im keen to try the stingray and seafood platter. Thanks guys for the great meal, keep up the good work

Here's what I ordered: - Large fries - Entree salt and pepper chips Cost me $27! You can see from the picture that it's hardly worth that. But let's inspect closer. The chips were like McDonald's poor, undercooked cousin. Sad and weirdly greasy. For the sake of not wasting food, I tried to eat them. I couldn't. In my defence, I attempted to feed seagulls with them and they looked at me like "bro, Bear Grills would turn his nose up at this. Kindly get lost". Those 5, odd looking chunks are the salt'n'peppa squid. One word: bready. Take that as you will. Staff seemed friendly... Until I left, and upon witnessing the Fyre Festival style food I was given, called to query if I was charged correctly. The waiter, named Nathan, sassed me about my query. Listen here friend, I'm happy to pay the appropriate amount of dollarydoos for the quality of food provided. Tbh this came across like an attempt from bogans to be boujee and I'm not falling for it no matter how much you sass me. The garlic bread was complimentary though. And edible! Kudos.

SheShells was so good, we came for dinner two nights in a row. Unbelievable to get drinks, entree and two mains under a 100 on a public holiday and in Glenelg, we had just paid $40 just for 2 pre dinner drinks on the pub holiday at a place nearby.. we didn't make that mistake on the second visit. The food quality was amazing, we ate mussels both times to try the different options available, all the mussels were open and cooked perfectly and came with a side of garlic bread which was honestly icing on the cake. What was great is you're getting a top meal and not paying tourist prices, I can see easily why this place is in the top two places to eat in Glenelg, I'll take great food over a view any day. Service was also fantastic despite seeming a tad under staffed we never felt forgotten or like we were kept waiting. Highly recommend and will be back again!

My very good friend in Liane and myself had dinner at this so lovely Restaurant which I might add if were not for my Entertainment Card I had no idea that it was there, however both of us were 💯👌completely satisfied in every way. The Host Nathan is an Exceptional person because he has all of the Qualities that any person needs to run a what both Liane and myself {Kristeen} would say a Restaurant that clearly has it all except the one thing that they however do not do is to be open for lunch which is a sad thing because I’m almost certain that if they were to be open for lunch they’d most definitely achieve a lot more trading I’m sure. So please anyone who actually wants to take the time to read what I have just posted just go there and try this awesome Restaurant out for yourself because it’s an Absolute Gem 💎

I booked in a table for four for my Son's 18th birthday from Queensland and asked for a birthday cake. I rang to say we will be half an hour late. The reassuring, friendly phone service was great and they saved us a table. We wanted a smaller, quiet, high quality restaurant with a variety of food on menu that my Son liked. We were blown away with the freshness and taste of the food. Food was amazing, cooked tender and perfect. 👌👌 quick, friendly service and so amazing they came out with the biggest choc cake for my Son, with candles and wished him a happy birthday. We were the last there and they were willing to let us stay late. Amazing people in a lovely restaurant with top quality food. Thank you for going above and aboard for making my Son's 18th birthday very amazing. 💖🎉👏👏🎂🥂🍽🏆
