Zucchini fries!!!
Marie G.

Birthday dinner with family from all over the country! This place is amazing. Every course was on point and absolutely high-end what is funny is that I'm writing this review almost a year later. I thought I did post one, but I guess not so more on this funny point I'm turning 70 this year and my sister had planned a surprise party for me and everyone in the family was flying in and it was gonna be at the same location but due to the travel delays caused by the government shut down everyone canceled including me. I told my sister I couldn't fly out to Mississippi. There's no direct flight from El Paso. I have to go to Dallas or Atlanta and you know that is a hot mess so hopefully everyone can get together sometime during the holidays, but yes, I was thrilled when my sister told me we were coming back to this place. It is absolutely beautiful and very high-end.

Redfish Anna
Kelly K.

Tasty spot in a trendy area! I had the redfish Anna and the fish was cooked perfectly with complementing flavors to match. A glass of wine and the dish did set me back just over $60 with tip, so it's a pricier spot. The space was large with both indoor and outdoor seating options so nice for a gathering.

pimento cheese and bacon jam bread
Kellie L.

The food here is absolutely amazing. for the appetizers me, my gf, and my mom got the lobster rolls (first time trying lobster) and it was amazing we also got the pimento cheese and bacon jam with bread which was also amazing and my mom got a half dozen of oysters and she loved them and says that they were the best she's ever had. The staff were super friendly and made sure that our cups were always filled. We all got the wood grilled fillet which was the best steaks we've ever eaten. the atmosphere of this place was so beautiful and the lighting there was definitely perfect to tie everything together. 10/10 would recommend.

Redfish Anna

I will go here 100 times over! I've only been once but omg I cant wait to go back. My table ordered the raw oysters, they were 10/10, but be careful mixing the cocktail - I made the mistake of adding way too much horseradish ha. Truffle fries 20/10! The steak is sooo tender, can't rate it high enough! & the redfish anna might be top 3 fish i've ever put in my mouth - even better than fish at the beach. oh & the key lime pie - WOW!!!

The salmon
Andrew B.

Oh boy, my expectations were high based on the reviews so I made a reservation for my wife's birthday. This was shocking. A reservation just means you join the line at the door at that time. It took forever to get a table. May as well have been a walk up. When we were finally seated we ordered gumbo for appetizers. The rice wasn't cooked. Raw rice in the gumbo was like eating sand. Horrible, but we suffered on. My wife ordered the wood grilled salmon and I tried the signature redfish Anna. The redfish still had scales on it and the salmon was soft mush inside. Disappointing food quality and slow service. We were deserted after bringing the issue with the gumbo to their attention and it went to crap from there. That should have been a sign to chalk it up to experience and leave. There are amazing places to eat In Mississippi but this isn't one of them. Don't take your wife here for a birthday dinner....!!

Half-Wedge Salad.
Jeff H.

As a first time diner at CAET, I will have to say that the entire dining experience was ! From our waiter (Jason) to the entire menu offering, this is clearly a jem. Even the Bourbon and Rye selections are top-tier! I started with a half Wedge Salad whish was massive. I will have to say that this Wedge was maybe one of the best I have ever had. For my entré I had the Bay Sea Scallops on a bed if White Truffle Risotto. Drool...! The Scallops were massive and tender, the Risotto was perfectly done and the side of Brussel Sprouts with Bacon was superb! As I am spending time in the Jackson area working this week and next, I will be coming back and highly recommend considering dining at CAET.

Redfish Anna

Quick dinner to celebrate my friend's birthday Saturday evening at CAET. First thing, never go without a reservation. We've had ours for three weeks and our table was ready when we arrived. There was a long wait for those who did not have one. I finally got up the nerve to try a cup of the gumbo. It was decent. Plenty of meat and shrimp in there but the flavor profile was nothing to write home about. I would not get it again. When the menu says "with cornbread" it means that small hunk floating in it, not an actual full slice of cornbread. My entree was the Cedar plank salmon. I asked for a medium cook on it and it was done to perfection! Not only was it cooked well but it was seasoned well too. One of the better cooked salmon in the area. I liked the onion and potato tart and I subbed the thin beans for spinach, which was very good too. Dessert for me was the tres leches cake. It was good too. It was a nice ending to a very good meal. Service was just ok. I won't name our server (giving grace) but he was not the best. We had to ask other servers for things we had already asked him for and he was very slow to check on us. He treated most of his tables like that. However, I will say that CAET appears to be fully staffed and the majority of them we encountered were good. It was a little dark in there but that's the atmosphere of the restaurant. I was with a friend so it didn't help us at all since it was so dark lol. CAET is my go-to for special occasions but I saw a few things on the menu that make me want to add it to my regular rotation.

Grouper with coconut curry and rice.

See all

Half Shell Oyster House of Madison - Fried green tomatoes and crab cakes

Half Shell Oyster House of Madison

Visited on a weeknight last week and had a great experience. Service was great, drinks were as…read morewell. Charcoal oysters, steak, seafood Mushrooms and even the chicken was on point. Decently priced! Will visit again next time were in town.

Extremely Disappointing Dining Experience - Never Again!…read more My wife and I decided to dine at Half Shell and unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, and from the very first bite, the taste was so horrible that I nearly threw up. My wife initially told me not to overreact, so I encouraged her to try hers. Well, one bite was all it took for her to completely understand my reaction! The oysters tasted as though they had been sitting under a warmer for an extended period. They were absolutely detestable. Our waitress graciously removed them. At that point, I was seriously considering getting up and leaving. However, we decided to give the restaurant another opportunity to redeem itself with our entrées. Unfortunately, things only got worse. We both ordered the seafood pasta, hoping for a much better experience. To our disbelief, the first bite was another disappointment. I simply could not continue eating it, and my wife felt exactly the same way. Once again, our waitress apologized and took the food away. By this point, I was beyond frustrated. I told the waitress, "You know what? Just bring us the Uptowner Quesadillas, and we'll call it a night." In my mind, I was thinking, Surely they can't mess up quesadillas! Thankfully, the quesadillas turned out okay, but by then, the entire dining experience had already been ruined. What makes this especially disappointing is that I am not someone who typically complains about restaurant food. My wife and I enjoy dining out, and we understand that every restaurant can have an off night. But to have two completely different dishes served that were so unpleasant neither of us could eat them is simply unacceptable. The one positive was our waitress, who was apologetic and handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, good service cannot make up for food that is this disappointing. We gave Half Shell multiple opportunities to get it right, but they failed to deliver. Needless to say, we will NEVER be returning.
