A Touch of Class

by ronarnone

We've been fans of The Seashell Restaurant for many years. The food is authentic continental cuisine because its owners, Christian and Dieter, are the real deal...and at least one of them is always at the door to greet us. My farorites are the sand dabs or boulibaise. My wife craves their French onion soup (ask for a touch of sherry it). The escargot is superb, as is the staff. Elegant, but not stuffy.

• Pros: Private parties, Romantic, Fabulous tarts
• Cons: Small bar
