"Chef Eric Milley constantly rotates the offerings on the menu at the Shellmore, but there’s always an oyster and cheese selection available to pair with the amazing wine selection. The restaurant is small and the kitchen is even smaller, but it puts out big flavors like shrimp and scallop risotto with lobster cream or rigatoni bolognese." - Eater Staff

The food at this restaurant was amazing! The menu is limited, only about 5 appetizers and 5 entrees total, but the quality is top notch--you won't be disappointed. Had the halibut with black lentils, golden beets, and cashews, and it was the best grilled fish I've had in a while. Their sauce was an explosion of flavors and the fish was thick cut, juicy, done perfectly. Didn't get a drink but they have a long list of alcoholic beverages (wine, cocktails, spirits, etc)--the old fashioned that a neighboring customer ordered looked wonderful. Minor warning: this place is small, as in 10 seats at the bar, maybe 4 tables indoors, and 1 or 2 tables outdoors. Reservation is highly recommended.

The Shellmore is an amazing hidden gem in I'On Mount Pleasant with a mix of absolutely gourmet food great wine and beer and friendly service. Tara bartender and server runs the show and Eric as owner chef cooks up some amazing gourmet food. The Shellmore is cozy and intimate with a great bar scene especially at happy hour. Brenda and I last night shared 1/2 dozen sunken meadow raw oysters from Massachusetts and a wild striped bass paired with a bottle of Anjou Blanc. The food was over the top five stars. The ambiance is local easy going neighborhood casual fun and exciting. Considering Tara is the only server the service was much faster than I thought possible. There is usually plenty of street parking. We highly recommend the Shellmore for local neighborhood gourmet food.

Outstanding! From Mary providing exemplary service, to the perfect atmosphere to enjoy some of the best food I’ve had in and around Charleston. They create a new and innovative menu daily. We started with the oysters, then to the salad with the perfectly cooked sous vide egg, followed by a fabulous ceviche and finished with flounder. We also enjoyed some rose bubbles and a buttery Chardonnay. We met one of the owners, Chad, who was delightful to talk to. His partner, Chef Eric, was busy in the kitchen. This is where all the locals know to go. If only I was a local.

Hands down one of the BEST meals we’ve ever had in the highly competitive Charleston food scene. Intimate setting- warm ambiance with kind service and over the top hospitality. Food excellently executed and wonderfully seasoned - could not really think of a way to improve the flavor of this ragu and the fish stew as well! Chef Greg and his wife Tara were so gracious- will return just as soon as we can

Great wine and the menu was amazing. We had the gnocchi, crab salad and the trout dip. All were fabulous. The wine, a great Rioja was delicious.

Amazing cozy restaurant and bar hidden in the Ion neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant. The definition of doing a small selection perfectly. The menu is curated and only has a few options for each course, but each is absolutely delicious and complements the other items and drinks well. There are daily menu changes as well as a more standard menu. John is an amazing host - funny, attentive, and knowledgeable. With only a few tables and no reservations, the service is topnotch. Will definitely return when I get back to the Charleston area. My only concern in recommending is making them too popular to get a table.

My husband and I visited The Shellmore last Friday. We enjoyed the best oysters ever, after sampling many while in Gulf Shores, which couldn't compare to those offered by Chef Eric. Next I enjoyed the seafood stew and my husband the beef and lamb ragu. Both were incredible. Everything is fresh and the wines that were suggested by Tara and Eric were perfect and the cheese and fruit tray was a wonderful finish. My only regret is that we don't live closer (we were visiting from Tucson) because we would probably stop in every week.
