SheShells Restaurant

Relaxed, seaside vibes. Quality seafood. It was a rainy, Autumn evening and the place was warm and welcoming. The owner and waiter where both friendly. The attmosphere was casual, all guests seemed comfortable. I indulged in eating solo, and was a bit apprehensive ahead of time, but so glad I dared. It was worth it. Will definitely be returning.

The staff were nice, but the food fell short of expectations. On arrival, I was told mussels were sold out, so I ordered something else, only to be told rice was also unavailable. Then I was told the chef would try to make the marinara I originally wanted, which was confusing given the mussels were supposedly sold out. I was grateful they tried to accommodate me, but when I tasted the mussels they seemed off. I tried two to be sure and they definitely didn’t taste fresh. I stopped eating in case of food poisoning and informed the staff. I overheard them tell the chef, but they returned saying the mussels were fine. I was shocked! I’ve had mussels before and the taste was not normal. I trusted my instincts and left them uneaten. The pasta also tasted very bitter and watery. I actually liked the fried barramundi but the dish wasn’t very filling. I paid $75 for two dishes, which sadly didn’t feel worth it. I hope the restaurant takes greater care with food quality, as selling spoiled seafood could be a serious safety hazard.

We dined at SheShells when staying one night in Glenelg on the way home to Sydney. It was a great choice. Friendly service from Nathan and Hani and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mary Jane too. We enjoyed the super fresh salads almost as much as the fresh, perfectly cooked seafood. Scallops, dukkah spiced sashimi, flounder and flathead were all very good. To top it off, the creme caramel was sublime. Definitely recommend this place.

Nathan was our waiter tonight and he was an absolute delight with his witty humour and service with a smile. He made sure we were happy and comfortable and the food was just delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this place for those who love a good seafood dish.

Popped in just as they opened and was warmly welcomed. Had a great meal and experience here. I forgot the gentleman’s name who served us, but he was fantastic – very accommodating, friendly, with a great sense of humour and excellent customer service. The seafood was cooked perfectly, and the oysters were delicious. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely be coming back.

I came here on 3rd of May during the evening (I’m from Sydney) and had the salt and pepper calamari, scallops and my friend had the mussels, crème brûlée. It was UNBELIEVABLY delicious!!!!!!!! SO SO SO YUMM. A 5 star rating doesn’t do it justice, it’s more like infinitely exceptional! The host that night had the most amazing customer service I have ever encountered, he is made for success with that incredible charisma. Now that I’m back in Sydney, I have been trying to find a similar experience/taste of the food from SheShells but turns out NOTHING compares to them, they are truely unique and the very best restaurant!

I am absolutely blown away from the moment of making the booking. Speaking with Nathan he was so attentive to helping me find the place to start our evening. Then with a wonderful greeting. This place has a wonderful warm atmosphere in spring. Such a lovely place the interior is lovely and so related to the sea. Then we were blown away by the food we ordered . We had the seashell basket with crumbed Garfield fish as your selection of fish to choose. I must say you need to know how to fillet at garnish and the chef so nailed this. The quality of the seafood is so clean, so flavoursome and the right portions. We will be coming back again and again. We 100 percent recommend this beautiful hidden secret. I say bring on @hellosa you need to try this. You wont be dossapointed.
