Chez Shea - Half Moon Bay

We always look forward to our meals at this restaurant. I was initially skeptical about the Mexican duck dishes, but I've come to think that everything they serve is great. The fish is of high quality. It's located on the west side of a charming shopping street filled with unique boutiques.

Charming little restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the black bean soup and the corn chowder, and both were equally delicious. We also shared the East West Fish Taco, served on pita, which was fantastic. The combination of the Chermoula sauce and tzatziki was perfect, and the fish was moist and tender. If our meal is any indication of the rest of the menu, you really can't go wrong here.

The service wasn't exceptional, but given that it's typically very busy in HMB during October, I can let that slide. The food, however, was outstanding, and with a group of seven, we made sure to sample just about everything on the menu.

We had the crabcake sandwich and Huevos rancheros. Fresh and rich with taste!

Molé at Chez Shea in Half Moon Bay! Thanks everyone for a delicious dinner and excellent service! I have eaten LOTS of molé. This plate goodness is well balanced and satisfying. So much so I was scraping the plate for every bit of sauce. Next time I will ask for a extra tortilla to mop up the plate! A glass of zinfandel suited the flavors. At same time enhancing the spice molé giving it a little more kick. Order some if you have the molé. Sat at the window bar to watch the world go by. And come in too. Enjoyed the Lavender Crème Brûlée. Tasty lavender flavor plainly apparent, but not overpowering. Nice to see Chez Shea is a dog friendly place. After watching a few go to the patio I walked back to check out the area. Cute tables and a few dog dishes as well. The four-footed family members will feel at home during the meal. Bar setting where I enjoyed my meal was clean and neat. Bathrooms are kept up well. You can send you kids in without worry. The staff was full of smiles. The other patrons were full of life and happy chatting. All of this makes Chez Shea an upbeat and tasty place to entertain you mouth and your mind. I recommend this place and will be back. #Molé #ChezShea #HalfMoonBay #HMB #DELICIOUS #SATISFYING #Zinfandel #Wine #PureWater
