We were there maybe over a year ago. The food is excellent and service quite outstanding, special mention for Mery who was attentive but not intrusive. Everything was served at appropriate and timely fashioned. Thank you "The Shell". The only negative is that they have not updated the food and drinks menu on opentable.
