    Dined here before a seeing a show on 14th Feb - had the pre-theatre menu. Thought it was very reasonably priced. Food was excellent and service was extremely attentive. Drinks were a little expensive but nothing out of the ordinary for this part of the world. 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill - as the staff were brilliant we left this charge on. Toilets needed updating, quite run down considering the rest of the restaurant, but they were clean. Only slight negative is the closeness of all the tables, we could very clearly hear conversations either side of us which was distracting. Could do with spacing out the tables more. Overall, a great experience and would definitely return.

    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.
