"Wow! Living in the Midwest I don 't get seafood this fresh and Shells doesn 't disappoint! Our server Bailey, is friendly and personable. She showed true interest in us and helped us navigate the menu to pick the best dishes for us. I asked what she would order and she recommended: Fresh Mahi Mahi Felix topped with jumbo lump crabmeat and roasted red peppers in a lobster cream sauce. Served with seasoned rice over vegetable medley. (Pictured) I was not disappointed, I am still so full an hour after eating while writing this. Thank you Bailey, perfect choice! I think this should be called The Bailey Special My wife got the Baby Lobster Pasta, Succulent baby lobster tails tossed with linguine in lobster cream sauce. She was blown away and the sauce could be a soup! Our son ubered us so we could enjoy the bar, we started off with a Mojito (wife) (which the bartender didn 't know how to make but got it pretty close) I got the house margarita with a sugar rim, very good. We then switched gears to an Island Breeze (AMAZING! Light and refreshing like the name suggests and my drink the Rum Punch was true to its name too as it felt like I got punched in the face rum, not a bad thing! Atmosphere is light and approximately themed, everything looked and smelled clean. We don 't live here, but if we return we will be back! If you read this far please go visit, I 'm sure your experience will be as great as ours. Thank you to everyone at Shells who made our evening wonderful."

"Sushi Ninja is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the Brandon area. It's located in the Bloomingdale Square shopping center, and it's one of the few restaurants that has stayed in this plaza for many years. They moved to a larger space withinthe plaza and redesigned the interior a couple of years ago, which totally elevated the whole dining experience. It's so warmand inviting with lots of tropical décor. They have table, booth, and bar seating. They also have cocktails on the menu and notjust your standard wine, beer, and saké. I know, we have many great sushi restaurants in the Brandon/Riverview/Valrico area.They're all special in their own way. But this place is unique in that they also have boba milk teas and smoothies, as well as abuild your own poke bowl menu. There's a huge variety of sushi rolls. Most of them are specialty rolls. There are a lot withcream cheese (if that's your thing). One of my favorite rolls is the Ninja Lobster Roll. It was pretty awesome! The baked cheesylobster topping really takes it to the next level. The only negative to some people would be that the rolls are small, and mayberolled more tightly than other sushi rolls I've had in the past. It's not a bad thing in my opinion. I hate when they roll themtoo big. I have many other favorite rolls. The New York Yankee, Rising Sun, and Dancing Eel rolls are some of my favorites. I've also had the eel, scallop special, and salmon nigiri which are always great. Oh, and I almost forgot about the appetizer.The TNT Mussels are so yummy. It has a nice mixture of Japanese mayo, wasabi, and masago. Very tasty! Everything tastesgreat. I need to elaborate a little on the build your own poke and/or bibimbap bowl. The bowls are fresh and fantastic! I getthe bowls with a salad base when I feel like eating healthy. They have so many great toppings. I never can pass up their housepoke sauce. The bowl is perfect every time. Service can be hit or miss sometimes. Mostly a hit. I conti"
