We enjoyed a fantastic meal! I had the lobster and my partner tried the lobster pasta. Our server, Mike, was exceptional; he even put on gloves to help me with my lobster. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this outstanding restaurant! Thank you, Mike!

I had an amazing experience with the Oysters Rockefeller, which were fresh from Texas and perfectly prepared. It's a well-known fact that the cuddly dish is unbeatable! My husband ordered the fish and chips, which he always enjoys and never disappoints him. The portion of the fried cod was generous, the fries were crispy, and it came with his favorite coleslaw!

Shells is undoubtedly one of the best places for seafood. The service is outstanding, and the food is excellent, with plenty of options to choose from.

One of best places in Melbourne for seafood...one anomaly. That if you order Oyster on half shell. The waitress has to do the shucking taking her away from her normal waitress duty.. shucking oysters is hard and should not have to perform that duty....I find that unacceptable on Managements part..just saying

Great seafood with huge portions. The steak was great also. Had the brownie for desert and was not disappointed. Fun place, not too expensive.
