Our evening at Covent Garden’s The Shell started off fairly normal, with our guard up as per a past negative experience at a different branch. However, as the night progressed, three incredible individuals completely transformed our experience, elevating it to unexpected heights. We truly felt welcomed, acknowledged, and the service blew us away. To top it all off, I discovered that the executive chef, Luis, and one of our waiters, Diogo, share my Portuguese heritage—something we only found out towards the end of the evening. It wasn’t about being Portuguese that made the difference, as they only learned this late into the night. It was simply their genuine dedication to excellent service that made the experience unforgettable. We even shared a beautiful Portuguese wine to cap off the night. A special mention goes to Luis for the incredible creme brûlée. He promised it would be top-notch, and it truly was—hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Diogo and Doro, our waiters, were attentive and made us feel right at home throughout the evening. And a huge thank you to Michael, the general manager, for ensuring our experience was flawless from start to finish. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience and will definitely be returning time and time again. This is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in London, and I highly recommend it. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful evening that my partner and I will never forget. We will be back!

A Seafood Lovers' Paradise - I recently dined at The Shell with my spouse to celebrate our one-year anniversary. The food were amazing; we had two different types of oyster. One is the original way to eat it raw, while the other is grilled with garlic and chilli. For the seafood platter, you have two options: boiled or grilled. Both were quite tasty. This location is a must-go for seafood enthusiasts. Portions are generous, and the pricing is reasonable for a seafood feast. Book a seat before you come visit because it can get packed. The servers were courteous and friendly, which enhanced the whole experience. Strongly recommended!

Dine in | Dinner |£50-60 Extremely disappointed and humiliated. Update ⚠️ We have emailed the shell seafood support as they replied to our feedback here on Google review, and they never responded to us. We emailed 2 times. We do not believe they care about customers. Their reply here it's probably just an automated response so the other viewers can see, not to actually fix the problem. ❌️My partner and I went to this restaurant on New Year's Eve dressed very elegant and with a hope that we will have a great and romantic time but it was the worst experience we ever lived. We were disappointed with service and cold food.. the prawn dishes were not devined or cleaned, so they were full of prawn poo.. for the high prices I expected much better experience. The flavouring is limited in taste, the potatoes were raw and tasteless. Once we paid for our dinner and gained a receipt and left the restaurant, one of the staff came running after us in the street saying we didn't pay.. so they called us back to the restaurant to speak to the manager. We went back and showed our receipt, they didn't give any appology for their poor communication between staff.. the shouting and chasing left us embarrassed and extremely humiliated. They absolutely destroyed our New Year's Eve night. We are never go there again.. manager was unapologetic for their blunder.. no compensation for the poor food and poor behaviour.

My spouse and I stopped off here for a refuel after a rich day of walking around the city. We got the Royal For Two to split and half a dozen oysters. Service was absolutely top notch. No glasses were permitted to remain empty, everything was promptly served and promptly cleared, napkins appeared on demand and we were lacking for nothing. Shoutout to Mery for running such a smooth operation and a shoutout to the kitchen for what we were served :) Yes, this place is more on the upscale side but the order was definitely a good value for our money all the same; the Royal was massive and just what we needed! Everything brought out was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the house white. This is definitely a good stop for seafood lovers.

Visited on a weekday to try out the lunch deal. We chose the seafood linguine which turned out with plenty of prawns,a piece of chewy squid and linguine covered with a sauce.

I have to say I was extremely disappointed with the food here. Went there last Saturday as part of my birthday seafood exploration. Also having read the reviews on here. I was particularly excited the surf n turf offer, as I’ve always wanted to have that. I’ve never had lobster, so I was happy to have the turf bit as backup in case I didn’t like the lobster. I opted for the lamb chops option. They tasted so bad, like some weird bitter after taste, definitely did not taste like any lamb chops I know. And I wish they had provided mint sauce instead of the peppercorn, which also tasted…not right. In the end, I relied on the lobster for some sustenance, which isn’t much meat anyway. I gave my lamb chops to my friend who I was with. I don’t know if it’s the problem with this place, but I don’t think I’ll be doing surf n turf again. N I’m definitely not going back to this restaurant. Oh and their iced tea was also quite disappointing. Very watery. Not good value for my money I’m afraid. Paid about £55 (my bit of the shared bill) for the surf n turf which is on special this month for £29.90, a starter portion of prawns, 2 diet cokes, an iced tea, and some ice cream as dessert for comfort, after the not so great meal. With regard to the atmosphere, it was incredibly busy when we were there. People were being turned away. So definitely better to book in advance. It’s quite a small place.

I don't think I'll come to this restaurant again! Last Saturday, my partner and I had lunch at this seafood restaurant. We both experienced severe vomiting on Sunday and Tuesday respectively. My stomach still feels very uncomfortable now. I couldn't eat for a while and would vomit as soon as I ate. After thinking it over, we both believe that the food at this seafood restaurant was problematic, and it's very likely that the oysters were not fresh. I remember that the so-called one-pound oysters at this restaurant were of poor quality, with shrunken meat and a blackish color. I have been to this restaurant twice, but this time I was extremely disappointed and my health was even threatened! The bill was also very expensive! We spent nearly 100 pounds and got such a result! I won't recommend this restaurant to anyone!

This is a good place to enjoy seafood at a reasonable price in central London. However, the ownership seems to have changed a few times. When I first ordered the seafood grill platter, it came with chips at the bottom of the plate, and the combination of grilled seafood and crispy chips was excellent. The seafood was incredibly fresh. But on another visit, the seafood wasn’t fresh, and the overall quality was disappointing. We recently decided to give it another try, and while it wasn’t as outstanding as our first visit, we were satisfied with the steak and grilled seafood. I wouldn’t recommend the other dishes, but diners at nearby tables seemed quite happy with their meals. If they can maintain this quality at this price point in London, I would return and recommend it. However, there is one very personal reason why I don’t visit more often. The toilets are downstairs, and the space is extremely dark, with walls designed to look

It's my 3rd visit to The Shell restaurant in Holborn. On this occasion, I am so disappointed with the food and being charged £2.90 for Dijon mustard. The seafood grill I had was tasty. But, when the steak my husband ordered came, he couldn't even cut it with his steak knife and never mind about eating it. We highlighted the issue and his main course was swiftly replaced with no fuss. Thank you. The Dijon mustard was only requested because my husband thought he was having steak. We did a query about the extra charge and was told his steak came with peppercorn sauce hence Dijon mustard is additional sauce. I joked about why I was not charged for ketchup since my seafood grill came with butter sauce. Disappointed would be my ending word here.

We went here for lunch, it’s a lovely looking restaurant and the lunch specials looked like great value. On the day we went they had oysters for £1 each so we tried them (not had before) and they were so fresh and lovely. We then went for the same main of prawns, mussels, squid and chips. Price was amazing for the quality of the food. The wine was a reasonable price and a bottle of white went very well with the sea food. Service was great, we liked they had proper bowls on the table for the shellfish waste and they were emptied regularly. The only thing missing was a water bowl to wash hands after deshelling lunch. A wet wipe was provided at the end but personally I would have preferred a was bowl throughout. However that is the only criticism so pretty good. We would definitely recommend and will return.

The Royal for Two should include a crab but it was missing. We asked and we were told that crabs was not available but was replaced by half lobster. It would be better if we were told when we were ordering. Anyway, the foods were delicious but a little bit pricey. Nice to try if you have budget.

2025/1/2 I received positive feedback from the store. Although I was invited to visit again, since I am in Taiwan, I had the opportunity to go last time because of a business trip, so I thought it would be a good chance to visit again. It's not too big, but I hope that the store can provide better service attitude and cooking quality so that everyone can enjoy wonderful food. This is also the original intention of my review. The store owner is also very welcome. If he has the opportunity to come to Taiwan, Taiwan has many world-famous delicacies and he will not be disappointed. 2024/12/20 Looking at the menu on the Internet, I couldn’t wait to make a reservation the day before. I visited with my colleagues that day with great expectations. As a result, I asked the waiter to provide water, but it took two times to ask the waiter for the meal. It’s not as delicious as in the photo. We ordered the steak to be medium rare, but the steak that came out was so hard that it was difficult to cut with a knife and even harder to swallow. The lobster was also very small, and my colleagues felt that the lobster tasted pink and not very fresh. In addition, the service fee was 20%, so our evaluation of this store is not good.

Snow Crab was amazing, hit platter was good, with a decent variety. Dessert on both nights was creme brulée as it was perfect. The bass was so flavourful that if I could have eaten more I would have.

false advertisement. these signs are placed outside but when we came by on 1st January we were told by the male staff the promotion ended on Christmas. He also said since it was a bank holiday the promotion was not available regardless. Do note the signs said EVERY DAY in capital letters! Please remove these signs if they are not available and stop luring customers through such methods

I used it for lunch. It's large in quantity and delicious. I feel it's worth the price.

It was ok but forgot to make our burger and came late while we nearly finished our meals. Get the seafood it is better than meat menu.

Reserved for Christmas Eve We enjoyed the seafood platter for 2, with crab, lobster, shrimp, mussels... very generous, cooked to perfection, accompanied by a bisque and fries. We were warmly welcomed by everyone, including Mery, who took great care of us. If we have the chance to return to London, the Shell will be unmissable.

I entered the store around 4pm on Boxing Day. There were few customers in the large store, perhaps because it was still early, but as time passed, the number of customers increased. The waiter had a nice smile and made the meal enjoyable. My companion and I ordered octopus salad, steamed mussels and shrimp, and lobster and shrimp linguine. Everything was delicious and the quantity was sufficient to satisfy me. It's close to the British Museum and faces a street with a calm atmosphere, so be sure to give it a visit.

We had a horrible experience. The mix shell of player for two cost £100 and is extremely, extremely poor. It’s says is for two but is not even enough for one . A waste of money. It was not even good. Never again .

I came with my mum for a little farewell dinner and I had the best time. From the moment we arrived, the host & our server - Mery, were so warm and welcoming. I had the best prawns I’d ever had in my entire life and I am so excited for the next time I can go back. Truly a fantastic experience and would 100% recommend !

Hello. I recommend this restaurant because of the people who served us and the delicious food they gave us. People full of kindness, super attentive, friendly, respectful, the food was served quickly, full of flavor and super fresh. Diogo's attention was unforgettable. The manager from Italy was very friendly and it shows that they work very well as a team. This restaurant is incredible.

I wasn’t even going to write a review because I honestly don’t know where to begin on this terrible experience from the food to the service. Me and my cousin had been looking for a food place to eat at before she caught her train back to birmingham which was scheduled in about half an hour from mentioned period, we specified to this to them and paid through (bank transfer?) seems like one big laundering front considering it’s either that or cash😂, charged us each to eat while sitting on some plastic chairs. Gave me the oiliest chicken burger, just not it. Now when my cousin had asked to pack her food as we were running out of time, the man behind the counter decided to hush my friend and say he was in the middle of a conversation with what appeared as one of his mates in the customer area. Cheaper clearly isn’t better. You can’t have terrible service and even worse food.

Shame it has closed down recently. Nice staff and delicious sushi dishes. It seems a pizza restaurant is coming to replace it. Too bad

Good food for a normal or slightly elevated price. The fries should have some salt... ;)
