Six of us went to Shell and Bones for a birthday dinner celebration. What disappointed our party may be what would attract others. Let me explain. First, parking is atrocious. The parking lot is far to small for the size of the restaurant, and valet parking is available and virtually imperative....but reasonable at $5.00. Our party was seated at a nice large round high-top table, normally conducive to conversation. However, the restaurantâs popularity attracts many people, and the attendant noise makes conversation difficult unless one doesnât mind shouting. Twenty (20) minutes passed before anyone stopped by to take drink orders, and that was only after we asked for some attention. It was another 20 minutes before drinks arrived. We were READY to drink by that time! Everything at Shell and Bones happens VERY SLOWLY. You will spend a long while waiting for everything, and the noise makes the passing oftime difficult. The six of us ordered 5 different appetizers and meals. They ranged from excellent (the scallop and shrimp ceviches app, the shell and bones entree) to fair (shrimp fra diavolo was bland and filet mignon was bathed in seasoning which overpowered the meat flavor). We almost passed on desert, because the live music began and added to the din, but we did order deserts and they were unique and very good. As I said in the beginning, the aspects of this business which we found to be negative may not bother some patrons, but with the exception of one couple in our threesome, we would not return. Oh, by the way, we were seated at 6:30 and left the restaurant at 10:30. Yes, FOUR (4) hours...far too slow paced for our taste.

If you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Rosso Vino! This restaurant is exceptional! Delicious food, generous portions, great service, and great ambiance! Be sure to make a reservation, because this place fills up! We came to celebrate our great friends birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! Sangria's were top notch, and we all had different apps and they were all delicious! (Lobster Bisque, Zucchini Blossoms, and Caprese Salad).For my entree, I chose the Linguine e Vongole - Fresh Clams, Heirloomtomatoes, Garlic, white wine, Olive Oil and red Pepper Flakes over Linguine. The amount of FRESH little necks (clams) on my plate was mind blowing and they were so fresh and flavorful! (See photo) Finally a restaurant that actually GIVES YOU SOME CLAMS!!! Fantastic flavors and I hate to admit it, but I ATE EVERY BITE!!! lol My hubby had a shrimp dish over pasta, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called I want to say it was Shrimp Fra Diavolo and he said it was really good, and the Birthday girl had Lobster Ravioli and it was DELISH!! Bread pudding for dessert was AMAZING too! Be sure to save room!!!! :)WE WILL BE BACK!!! :)
