I came to Half Shell for happy hour planning to spend around $100 on seafood and drinks, but ended up leaving without ordering. I came on my foldable scooter, which doesn’t have a lock. After someone tried to walk off with it earlier that day while I was at the lake, I wasn’t comfortable leaving it outside the seating area. After I explained what happened I asked for an outdoor table and offered to fold the scooter up and tuck it completely under my table against the fence. The patio only had one other table, so it wasn’t blocking anyone or in anyone’s way. Instead of working with me, they insisted it had to stay outside the seating area and wouldn’t even consider the solution I offered. For a nearly empty patio, the lack of flexibility and customer service was really disappointing. I was genuinely excited to try this place, but I won’t be back, this was disappointing. Service: 1
