"This was the first stop of our night out with family and friends, ranging in age from 1 to 80 years old. It was an early dinner and then on to the Botanical Gardens for the holiday light show so we weren’t on a deadline. Good thing, too… we arrived at Shells Sauce at 3:30pm and due to the extreme delay between ordering and then the food arriving at our table; and again after having finished and finally receiving our bill; the experience took two full hours, start to finish. Other than that, it was fantastic. We were warmly welcomed at the door by a gentleman we originally mistook for another patron (since he was wearing a coat and hat), the menu had something for everyone (including the vegetarian, the carnivore and the baby), the food was fantastic and the mood was festive (took awhile for us to catch on that the servers were participating in an Ugliest Holiday Sweater contest with each other). I’ll be back!"

This restaurant had the best creme brulee I have ever had. It was the right amount of crisp without the burnt taste. The neighborhood had such a nice vibe to it as well as the people serving you. I would eat here again even without Denver Restaurant week. 10/10. View menu

This was our first time at this restaurant. We were seated before our reservation time (worked well for us), the service was outstanding, the food was excellent and good sized portions, and the wine list was very reasonably priced. We have already booked a reservation for next weekend. Highly recommended.

We ate here for Restaurant Week, and they were quite busy. We enjoyed the food, but it took an incredibly long time. We were probably there for 30 minutes before we could even put our food order in with our server, and after an hour and a half we still hadn't even ordered dessert so we ended up having to take it home. The food is always great, but we were disappointed in the overall experience this visit.
