Review Summary

SHAY earns high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, flavorful modern Lebanese cuisine, and consistently attentive service, with guests noting generous portions and standout items like mezze dips and lamb dishes, shakshuka and baklava pancakes; brunch shines with creative twists such as shawarma eggs Benedict and labneh, while cocktails and a lively DJ vibe add to the welcoming, upbeat experience and make many say they will definitely return.

WOW!!! What a great spot. The room is beautiful & there is a great vibe/buzz. I felt like I was in a well-lit nightclub at 11 am! The food is off the hook & the service is friendly & professionals. The prices are also shockingly reasonable. This a now our "go-to" Sunday brunch spot!

I went for brunch & it was delicious. I had a nice cocktail to start & the shakshuka as my meal. It was full of flavour & paired with nice warm naan bread. Service was very good & the staff were friendly & welcoming. I can't wait to go again & try one of the other delicious options on the brunch menu.

Food was delicious, the host/ maybe owner was really nice too. however the service at the table needs improvement. It's the second time we visit this restaurant & they forgot yet again to tell us that the kitchen was closed. They were also out of 3+ items on the brunch menu. When we addressed this with the manager, he had a condescending tone & pretty much questioned how we even got a reservation at 2;30 when the kitchen closes at 3. YOU made the reservation available & we placed our orders past 3:10 & nobody advised us that the kitchen was closing. A sincere apology would have been more constructive & well appreciated than an unproductive condescending response.

Excellent choix pour me menu du brunch & différent. Belle ambiance. Retour assuré pour le brunch & l'essai du souper éventuel. Seul bémol; le pain doré était sec pas assez trempé dans le mélange oeufs lait sinon très enchantée

I'm a huge fan of the food at Shay, so I decided to try their new brunch menu & as expected, it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious (especially the avocado toast). The ambiance, staff?everything there is always 5 star.
