Fresh and Professional are the first 2 words that come to mind. The food is prepared, plated and presented beautifully. Their menu is a thoughtful expression of the Texas coastal fare with delicious steaks for a more traditional dinner. The open face tuna sandwich is a must have, and their homemade sauces and bread really make the meal. The peach sangria had mango in it, so be careful if you have allergies as my wife found out. The seared Mahi Mahi, with lime aioli sauce and steamed vegetables was very tasty. A bit over steamed on the vegetables, but the addition of jicama to the medley was nice. The sauce was as good as it gets and brought the entire dish together. If you are ever in Port Aransas, Shells is a must visit. Fresh, thoughtful, and wonderfully food prepared consistently for well over 20 years that I've been eating there. they also serve some of the best Sushi.

They were very short staffed and started taking orders from people who walked in after us. Prices were very high anyway so I guess we didn't really miss out Used to be myhusbands favorite place and he was so excited to get to come back but he ended up walking out highly disappointed.
