"Ordered a light drink from the bar, tasted watered down and flat immediately. Entree was bland and undercooked which affected the taste. Waitress didn’t even attempt to upsell or exchange the entree for another item. Wait staff is suppose to ensure guests are satisfied and promote food items on the menu…she just cleared the table and shoved the check in my face. Nice touch. Third time visiting this place and I tried to like it….I really did. It is not a good restaurant, the quality is extremely lacking. There are better restaurants that serve seafood and have more refined staffing around Richmond."

The Hard Shell is kind of what you expect for a seafood restaurant in the middle of Richmond. Nothing mind blowing, but a solid dinner choice.

We had dinner here with a client and although they made a mistake they compensated for that with exceptional service. I ordered a New York Strip Steak as

Loved my lunch date! Great food and service. My Brussel sprouts were delicious enough to be my lunch. Also ordered the special, a mahi sandwich with pineapple salsa. Blackened perfectly! Should have opted for side salad over fries bc I nvr touched them or the top of the bun. Hubby enjoyed fish tacos. Definitely will visit again.
