More information on Half Shell, (The)

It does not look like much from the outside, and in fact, it is a little hard to find. But if you see the small sign and descend into the lackluster basement of this restaurant, you are in for a treat. The seafood is among the best in the city, and throughout the entire meal, you will be convinced you are in on a secret that nobody else has heard. Alaskan King Crab is what most of the locals stop in for, but the menu also has other seafood and meat options. Men must doff their caps.Disabled Access.
