The Hard Shell sits in Shockoe Slip and is part of the Richmond Restaurant Group's collection of Richmond restaurants. The menu is built around seafood, with lobster and crab cakes coming up most often among the dishes diners mention, alongside salads and other entrees that work for both a lunch stop and a sit-down dinner.
The restaurant runs lunch, dinner, and brunch service, giving it a range that covers casual midday meals as well as dressier evening visits.
