    We were visiting Shem Creek and wanted to have lunch. The Perch caught my eye. It is off of Coleman Blvd. There is plenty of parking. It is a casual restaurant that is outdoors with a tent type roof over head. It has a fun tropical vibe. The menu offers fresh fish inspired dishes, fresh salads and starters. They also offer a full bar. I had the grouper tacos. You get 3 tacos with lots of grilled grouper, cabbage, purple onion, tomatoes, cilantro and aoli sauce. They were the best tacos I've ever had. Mallory was our waitress and she was very attentive and friendly. She told us that The Perch has been in business for 2 years. I recommend The Perch for a casual vibe and great food!

    A lovely garden style food spot, perfect for a lunch break with a friend. I've been twice now and I'm sure will go again. Service is good, food is tasty....

    Really like this cute little place! We would come.more often if they could add a bit to the menu. Happy hour is great! We sit at the bar - the regulars bartender is good, last time it was not her and she was not that good. Dog friendly!

    What a beautiful evening at The Shellmore. A later evening…read moredinner gave the already intimate setting that much more ambiance. Starting dinner off right with some deliciously fresh raw oysters complete with a traditional "onion" mignonette, and then Chef Eric brought out a little special treat....the base was fresh lump crab meat topped with some chunked watermelon and the most light, fresh, delicious dressing & crunch. WOW. I could eat that all summer. Moving onto the main courses, a perfectly cooked NY strip & root veggies with a love boat of fresh sauces. Chimi, steak butter, and a horseradish crema. As if the steak needed any sauce, but with that trifecta?? I couldn't help myself. Incredible. The other entree, a risotto and shrimp. Incredibly flavorful, complete with crisp English peas. As I write this, I wish I had another plateful. The bartender is the Chef's little lady, & she was a GEM! I cannot remember her name, but she goes to estate sales, and thrifts the beautiful dishes and glassware that they use in the restaurant, which I thought was so neat! These two truly have put their heart and soul into this little place and you can tell. The menu is of a smaller variety, but variety for sure. Chef Eric changes the menu up daily/weekly, so you never know what you may get, and I think that is honestly one of the best parts about this place. You can tell they care, from the food to the atmosphere they have created. This one deserves all the 5 stars.

Even stranger, is that the restaurant was dead when we arrived. Our server dropped menus and asked what we'd like to drink. When we asked for a minute to review the wine list, she took that as 10 minutes to return. The burrata was a great starter even though it was served with an inadequate amount of toast points. No offer was made to bring more, even though there was an obvious need. The arugula Caesar was extremely salty. We liked the sardines throughout but there was no reason to add additional salt. The shrimp and lobster pasta dish was fine, nothing more. The Shellmore is in a nice little space at the front of I'on. Outdoor seating on the sidewalk or indoor seating at tables or the bar is offered.

I was a little worried when the website said call ahead seating was on hold thinking they would be slammed, but forged onward!' It was Sunday afternoon. I have read about nightmare parking but did not experience that at all. Zoomed right in. Yes, it was eleven bucks. I don't mind paying and refuse to get myself worked up over it. Ask for an outside table and no sooner did we sit down, the dolphins showed up!!! I consider myself an expert on dolphin spotting and had to show the table of 5 college age young ladies where they were located. They loved them as well. Who knew they would be so active in the middle of a busy waterway? As a former boat owner, I love watching those huge honkin' boats parallel park in between the baby ones. I do not have that skill , but it's entertaining to watch. Tyler was our server and was nice and attentive. Drinks were cold and quite good. I ordered a house Chardonnay and it was Cambria. Not crazy expensive either! Had shrimp tacos and steamed shrimp. So many steamed ones that I had a full meal the next day. I look forward to trying many more dishes. What I enjoyed the most was being part of a fun atmosphere in a fun place. Not a sad person in the place. That's always my attitude near any body of water. All the employees were engaging and happy to be there.

    A nice dining spot on the water with great views!…read more It was very crowded on a Saturday afternoon but my husband and I were able to snag two bar seats upstairs. We ordered a half pound of peel & eat shrimp to snack on while having some drinks. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or if the shrimp were actually as good as I thought they were! I wish we got the full pound. I would recommend checking this place out at an "off" time so it's not so crowded :)
