Let me just say that all the years I've been doing to SH I've been dying to try this place. We made reservations though yelp while on the beach today. We arrived at 5:15 for 5:30 reservations, we were sat on the patio immediately. This place reminds me of something on the west coast. It's not visually fancy by any means but the food is. We were immediately greeted by our server. He was great! He throughly explained the menu and the specials. We started with 2 appetizers tonight. First was the Quahogs flatbread. It ricotta, olive oil, clams, bacon and arugula. Normally seafood and cheese is a no no for me, this was a home run though. The flat bread was crispy but soft and the flavors were of the chart. Second was the fried hamachi collar. It was a yellowtail collar lightly fried with eel sauce. It was just okay. It was very tender and light but it has a strong fishy taste. It wasn't my favorite. The sauces accompanied with it were very good. They also give you a bean dip to snack on while you're waiting. It was good. For entrees I went with the barbacoa Del Mar and the wife has the lobster ravioli. The ravioli were fantastic! They were in a San marzano cream sauce with bay scallops. They were to die for! My entree was very good. The short rib was fork tender and the scallops were cooked just right. They were a bit skimpy with the portion size for the price of $33.00. I only got a quarter piece of corn and 2 scallops. The entree was good though, just wish I got a bit more for the money. Overall we had a great meal and we would stop back in. The shack is a byo but they do sell bottles of wine and sangria. Keep in mind though that the wine is pricey as is the food. The food is very good and the plating is beautiful and not something you typically see at the beach. Solid 4 stars though. read more
