Took my wife here for her birthday dinner. It was during the middle of the week and we practically had the restaurant to ourselves. Food and service was outstanding! The ambiance was nice, tin roof ceilings, easy on the eye colors. We both had a chilled oyster appetizer and then onto the swordfish special. Sometimes this fish can be over cooked, making it very dry. Chef Eric Milley, ensured that ours was perfectly cooked, seasoned, moist, tender and delicious . . . and well plated with broccoli rabe, white bean, olive, garlic confit, zucchini and tomato. We opted to chare a slice of come delicious chocolate cake and it came with a candle for her to make a wish and blowout.

Outstanding selection of Wines!!!

The oysters were Local and Canadian, very tasty. Menu is limited and posted on Instagram. We ordered the Halibut and pasta dish, both freshly made. They were delicious!!! Service was excellent. This is a quaint restaurant with a nice bar and sound system. Outstanding selection of wines as well. The staff brought out a scrumptious pastry for dessert as it was our Wedding Anniversary. If you're looking for something special, this is the place to visit!!! I would recommend making a reservation so you are not disappointed

Food was so good . We were the when the guest chef Micheal there. Everything was amazing! We had Tuna Crudo, Pickled Rock Shrimp, Burrata,and Beef and Lamb Raggu. Everything was so good, and fresh. There is an option of outside seating, indoor or the bar. The have different menu everyday if I am not mistaken that is posted on their social media . Parking was pretty easy they is a parking lot behind the restaurant . Definitely coming back and excited to try other items in the menu!

The most wonderful dinner! The menu for the night has such great options and everything we ordered was fantastic! Love that it is truly made to order! It's so cute, quaint and cozy, ideal for a date night. The host/waitress was so sweet and made sure everything was to our liking. I would eat here all the time if I could!

Stopped based on the pictures of oysters on yelp. Was a tiny place, maybe 5 tables and a bar. Very limited menu but everything we had was great. We got 24 oysters to start. We also had the special burrata app, caesar salad, steak tartare and the pasta. Everything was really tasty. This place didn't have salt and pepper on the table but didn't need it. Glad it was not crowded. Everything was great. A bit pricey for it being happy hour for our drinks and 24 oysters.

Shells + Cheese

The Shellmore is a great little restaurant located in the I'On neighborhood in Mt Pleasant. We had a wonderful dinner last night with lots of delicious food and wine. Our server, Mary, was extremely nice and attentive. I especially loved the pork cake and the mahi mahi ceviche. We also tried their special - a Mussel Roll... we were very intrigued, and it tasted great! Would recommend this spot for an intimate date night or for a girl's night out. They have a cute courtyard in the back that will be the perfect place to dine in the warmer months to come!

Quaint spot where everyone feels like a regular. It's a wine bar but the food is what shines.

I wish I could box this place up and bring it home with me. This is exactly what I would want for my neighborhood local. The venue is sized for small groups or couples with a handful of tables inside and outside, with a patio coming soon. The U-shaped bar provides ample seating and you can easily have a large group here as you can see across the bar and make conversation without having to shout. The bar is my favorite accessory here -- an item of handcrafted beauty like no bar I've seen before. I couldn't stop talking about it. The beer/wine list offers something for everyone and the food menu was small but pleasant. We ended up with a cheese plate (pictured) which I think was $15 since we got the big one. There was enough cheese to share amongst a few of us without gypping anyone, although I do wish a) there had been more bread or crackers and b) the bread had been easier to separate. The staff is very friendly and we even had the chef make a few appearances during his down time to check and see how everyone was doing. Other groups came and went so we got to see more menu items being served. I will definitely be back.

Split order of Salmon

This was our second visit to Shellmore and each time has been 5 star. We decided to order several apps and starters, sort of our own tasting. Each dish was prepared to perfection and there wasn't a hard rush. The entree was the special of the day, Salmon in a light sauce with a crust that was frankly, unbelievably good. Service was delightful and very attentive. Great wine list and cozy atmosphere. We'll be back again very soon. Highly recommend to all!

I can't say enough great things about this spot!…read more I've come to shop the decor at Get Carried Away before which has an elaborate selection of seasonal and local goodies. I finally decided to sit down for lunch and was immediately met with kind and helpful staff. I ordered a seasonal drink special - their take on a Hugo spritz made with gin. It was refreshing and well priced for the size. I also ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken which was fresh and filling. The food itself is very affordable prices. There are plenty of bar seats, high tops, couch seats as well as dining tables. There are TVs at the bar with sports on as well. I will definitely be coming back!

Cute little outdoor spot with a very nice bar area. It's right next door to Get Carried Away so…read moreit's easy to do some retail therapy ( love this store) and then have a nice bite to eat. The employees are all extremely nice and helpful. Rivers was my server and he did a great job. I had a glass of wine, a Caesar salad and grouper bites. The food was quite generous in size.The Caesar salad was delicious although the dressing was a bit thick for my taste requiring another serving of it to cover the salad. It was tasty and I could have eaten an entire bag of those homemade croutons. The grouper bites tasted great, however they didn't have a crispy coating like I would expect. I couldn't tell if they had been air fried or just cooked earlier and reheated. I can't wait to return for happy hour to try some other dishes. Rivers informed me that they often have special events and even live music. They share the bathroom with Get Carried Away and it's clean and smells Wonderful!

Charlotte’s Wine Bar & Tapas - Hot honey flatbread

This is a must visit new wine bar in Mt. Pleasant! They've only been open since October and I'm mad…read moreI haven't visited before last week. We came in on a Friday around 5:45pm and things were already pretty busy. We grabbed 2 seats at the beautiful bar and were immediately greeted by the staff. They have Happy Hour Monday - Saturday from 4-6 so we just made it. The charcuterie inside the repurposed wine bottle is such a fun idea. The meats and cheeses and nuts and crackers were delicious. The serving was quite large for a happy hour app. We started with glasses of prosecco and a chilled red which were on the happy hour menu as well. Melissa was behind the bar and she is AMAZING! Once happy hour was over and we learned there was live music from 7-9 we pretty much decided we were staying all night. Melissa made sure we never felt rushed. Honestly it felt like sitting in a cafe in Europe where enjoying a bottle of wine with friends is supposed to take time and never be quick. She helped us pick a bottle of sparkling rosé and it was very very good. And the price point was so reasonable. They have an extensive wine list and seriously the prices range from $23-$100+ so there's something for everyone. Once the music started we ordered the Sopressata and hot honey flat bread. It was great to share and the flavor was wonderful. It took a little while to come out of the kitchen, but Melissa made sure to check in and let us know. The space itself is so fun. There's a huge bar and a couch with comfortable chairs and tables along the wall. They also offer a small number of patio seats right outside. It got really crowded and reservations were almost a must. Another side note, the bathrooms are so nice. They're clean and well decorated and stocked with everything you could need from feminine products, to mouthwash and more. This spot is seriously a must visit! And I really appreciate their social media and website being up to date with all the specials and events going on. They have live music several nights per week and they also do classes like paint and sip nights. I cannot wait to go back!

We loved it. Met up here with a few friends and thoroughly enjoyed the night. This spot used to be…read morea wine bar before it became Charlotte's, so I was surprised to see how an already lovely interior was made even nicer. The seating was comfortable, and there was "lite" live music in the corner; a solo singer with a guitar who played just loud enough to enjoy without killing conversation. There was also a wine tasting going on at the end of the bar, hosted by one of the vendors, which was a fun touch. Unlike the previous wine bar, Charlotte's actually offers food, and we were handed full menus right away. We decided to share a bunch of small plates, assuming they'd be, well, small. We were wrong. The portions were generous, and everything was delicious. Meatballs in marinara with fresh basil and olive oil, a Mediterranean veggie flatbread with feta, and a lovely, light whipped ricotta served with crostini toasts. My only complaint is that there weren't quite enough crostini for the mountain of ricotta we were given. The wine was solid. I went with a still rosé while my friends had reds, and everyone was happy. The door never stopped revolving the whole time we were there, which tells me this place is already a hit. It's exactly what Mount Pleasant needed along that stretch of Coleman Boulevard.

There were a few amazing dishes, some good dishes, 1 miss, and 1 that was just awful. The service was super friendly, but the timing was off a tad. We waited a good bit of time between the 1st and 2nd course, but then the 3rd course came out before we had 2 bites of the 2nd. After that the timing was much better. The restaurant itself is large and nice, but does not give off a cozy vibe, and we felt too close to our neighbors. I wasn't sure if I should do the meal review from good to bad dish, or by course, but decided it makes sense to the latter Starting with the Aperitivo course, we both got the Scallop crudo. The wife and I disagreed on this dish, as I enjoyed the aroma of and taste of the fried capers, and thought lemon added a nice touch of acid. However, I thought the dish needed either more capers or salt as the sauce was bland and there were not enough capers to make up for it. For the Antipasti I had the Seafood Arancini which was a crispy, golden Italian rice balls consisting of a mix of lump crab meat, Miss Paula shrimp (which upon looking up is from the seafood market at Tarvin Seafood), along with scallops, mascarpone, and creme fraiche aioli. This was an OK dish The wife ordered the Sicilian Octopus, with summer squash, zucchini, smoked pecan romesco. Here is another dish we disagreed on, but only because my wife has decided she does not like Octopus. I on the other hand loved it and thought the dish was great. The meat was tender and had a great char flavor. There were two sauces, one was a romesco and the was green (I think pesto) that the wife and I both really enjoyed. For the Zuppa y insalata course I had the Lobster bisque with sherry cream, crispy focaccia crouton. I took the 1st bite and immediately knew it was good; however, I had to send it back because it was served room temperature at best. Upon having it reheated, I thought this was easily one of the best Lobster bisques ever. The flavors were bold and spicy, but not so bold that I could not taste the lobster. The wife ordered the Seafood salad. Another dish with Miss Paula shrimp, bay scallops and pieces of calamari, supposedly topped with lemon herb vinaigrette. We both agreed this dish was bland, bland, followed by more blandness. There was no salt, no acid from the Lemon Vinaigrette and not a whiff of spice or taste from the herbs. It was just Scallops, a few pieces of calamari and some thinly sliced shrimp with zero flavor. For the Secondo course I had the Scallop risotto, with fire roasted peppers, sweet corn, crispy pancetta, and parmigiano. Here we go another amazing dish. The Scallops were cooked perfectly, and the risotto was loaded with flavor. The fire roasted peppers with sweet corn just added extra pop. The dish was made more pleasing to the eye with a ring of green sauce halfway around the risotto and the other half with a red sauce. There was so much flavor in the risotto, I could not tell if it added flavor or not, but it was clearly added to the visual aspect. Here is where the meal really took a hit as the wife ordered the Grilled branzino mediterranean sea bass, with charred broccolini, potatoes, artichokes, fresh herb oil, yellow tomato vinaigrette. When I took a small bite my first reaction was OH NO, I don't think she is going to like this. When I took a second bite, I realized it was uneatable. The skin on the fish was a bit tough and Slimy making it hard to cut. The fish was covered in a sauce that was just gross and not eatable. The only good thing about this dish was the charred broccolini which we both agreed was good. After that Sea Bass we were both done and decided to get the Dolce course to go. I ordered the Tiramisu cheesecake which we both enjoyed when we got home. The wife's Limoncello cake which was an olive oil cake soaked in limoncello, sweet cranberries with orange marmalade, was OK but neither of us would order again. So here we are with a tale of two dinners experience. Except for the 1st dish, we both thought everything I ordered was really good, but on the other hand, the wife didn't like anything she ordered, while I really loved the octopus, thought her Antipasti And Dolce dishes were just OK, the Seafood salad was tasteless, and the Sea Bass was just awful.
