We were sat outside where they had live music which is always a nice touch. We got espresso martinis and old fashioners. My tini was really great, I fully enjoyed it! The guys love their old fashioneds. For dinner, I got the jalapeño chicken salad which was wonderful. Everything was super fresh, and I loved the fried jalapeños! I also tried the Mac and cheese which was good- super rich but who doesn't love cheese and carbs. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere here is lively, the bartenders and servers remember everyone, and people are happy to be out and in their community. From the bar, you have to try the El Pepino, their version of a spicy cucumber margarita. At once refreshing and delicious. From the kitchen, everything we've ever had here was fantastic, but I especially recommend their steak. The cherry on top here was the treatment my wife (a vegetarian) received when ordering a slightly nuanced modified salad. She wanted the Jalapeño Chicken Salad with the chicken substituted for avocado. Not only did they happily serve her that, the kitchen staff came out to the bar to personally confirm she was alright with the other ingredients because the jalapeños were fried using eggs. You just don't see that kind of service at restaurants these days. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and go to Anthonie's.

Some friends had the ceviche oysters that I didn't try but it looked like pico on oysters. The calamari app was good lots of parm and thicker breading, different than most. I had the dirty rice and it wasn't my favorite, tasted like I make at home but with thicker chunks of celery that threw me off, flavor was good though. Had the garlic parm wings flats which came wet which I was excited for but the skin kept separating from the wing, the meat was good. My friends got the crawfish which looks bomb if your into crawfish and the fixing. Service was really good, top notch atmosphere so I would go back and just get something different. Give it a try

The parking lot has plenty of parking and for Saturday night we were able to park right up front …read more We had a party of six without any reservations but were seated immediately. The restaurant was fairly busy. Our server, Khang , was graceful, friendly and served us perfectly our food was hot and fresh and the wait was not too long . The beef garlic noodles were pretty good, served with lettuce and tomato but no dressing. The noodles had a great blend of garlic and healthy portion of beef. The seafood boil was VERY hot in MILD and the spicy is HOT however, the flavors were flavoring! We got a combo 4 seafood boils , and a burger( which was great option for those who do nt enjoy quality seafood and fried apple pie rolls . Our family of 6p was about $225, and gratuity was included.

When I tell you the boxes were not even close all the way bc there was so much food in the box lol I love gizzards but these were fried a little too hard for me I like my gizzards a little more softer but still fried that's the reason for the 4 star but other than that everything was amazing! Dish was fried to perfection and wings were nice and crispy!!!! Okra was such a generous "side" as well. He gave us like 20 sauces for everything and ketchup no napkins but that's ok! We had a car date with our toddlers wipies lol we will def come back here nice little food run will be back !

Went in today and ordered a 15-piece whole wing meal. After receiving my order, I asked for mild…read moresauce, hook sauce, and some lemon pepper on the side, which I've been getting for years. I was told they charge extra for lemon pepper. I simply asked when they started charging for it because I've never been charged before. The employee responded that they have always charged for it. When I explained that I had never been charged in the past, she told me she had been working there a long time and had never seen me before. At that point, it felt like I was being called a liar. I made it clear that I had no problem paying the charge--I was only asking when the policy changed. The issue wasn't the cost; it was the way I was treated. As a longtime customer, I didn't appreciate being spoken to that way. Because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I'll be sharing my experience with the customers and friends I've referred there over the years. I have proof of some of my past purchases and visits.

What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

Our experience was disappointing due to the way we were approached by the manager. We had simply…read moremoved a table in bar area and instead of politely explaining the situation, the manager came over and told us we couldn't because the table cost $5,000. While we completely understand wanting to protect expensive furniture, the tone and delivery came across as rude and made our entire table feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. On the other hand, I want to recognize our waiter, who was excellent throughout the meal. Raymond was attentive, friendly, and did his best to make us feel comfortable again after the interaction with the manager. His professionalism and kindness were the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food also fell short of expectations. In particular, I would not recommend the mussels. The flavor was unpleasant and left a very bad aftertaste, making them one of the least enjoyable dishes we ordered. Good customer service isn't just about enforcing rules--it's about how those rules are communicated. Unfortunately, the manager's approach, combined with the disappointing food, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

We started with the deviled eggs and chargrilled oysters as appetizers. For the entrees, we had the Boudin Stuffed Chicken and the Zydeco Chicken. Both dishes were fantastic, flavorful, and filling. We are already looking forward to our next visit!!

We walked in and were quickly greeted. You have the option of sitting in the bar or dining area. We chose one of the high top tables by the bar. If there are more than two people I would suggest sitting at the bar or dining area because there is barely room for plates. We ordered: Apps: Stuffed Crab jalapeños-best bite, Crab Fingers & Shrimp Empeñadas Entree: Grilled Shrimp Greek Salad I liked the stuffed jalapeños, although I couldn't taste any crab in them. The empanadas were also good and came with a delicious cilantro cream sauce. The crab fingers had great seasoning, but that sauce was horrible. It was thick and bland. Definitely wouldn't order that again. My husband loved his salad and said the shrimp were grilled perfectly. All in all, I would say stop in if you're in the area, they have an extensive menu. So they'll be something for everyone.

I'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife is. Thankfully they had a burger on the menu! Double smash burger and fries for me, Serafin's fish tacos for her. The burger was good, I liked the fact that the smashed patties weren't smashed too thin. So often all I get is meat crust, these had body as well. The burger and fries were great, but when I saw and tasted the fish tacos I immediately knew I'd be getting them next time. I only got a bite, but it was yummy with the sauce.

I hate writing this review because Half Shells at LaCenterra used to be one of my go-to places, but…read morethis visit was disappointing. The highlight of our experience was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great attitude from start to finish. Unfortunately, almost everything else felt like a step backward. The menu has been reduced dramatically. Once you take away the oyster selections, there are very few entrée choices left. Many of the dishes that kept me coming back are no longer offered. The drink menu has also been cut down significantly. They used to have a much better selection, and it just doesn't feel like the same restaurant anymore. Another frustration is that they're in an area with poor cell service, yet customer Wi-Fi is no longer available. Whether you're trying to check a message, work while you eat, or simply stay connected, it's almost impossible. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. I ordered the crab cake with the arugula salad and a shrimp cocktail. Ironically, the small arugula salad that came with the single crab cake was the best part of my meal. The crab cake and shrimp cocktail were fine, but neither was memorable or something I'd come back for. Overall, it feels like Half Shells has lost much of what made it special. Between the limited menu, reduced drink options, lack of Wi-Fi, and average food, it's no longer the destination it once was for me. I truly hope they reconsider some of these changes because I'd love to see this restaurant return to what made it such a great place to dine.

I ordered the spicy Cajun crawfish, and while the spice level was there, it lacked seasoning and didn't have the flavor I was expecting. On the other hand, the drinks were amazing.
