Food was expensive & not cooked properly. Ordered bénédictine eggs with mushrooms, 24$. Plate arrived it's 2 eggs cooked all the way through on a single piece of toast with mushrooms. Honestly the meal was very tasty apart from the egg not at all being bénédictine. Showed my plate to the waiter when he came back. He told the kitchen, that's it.

Honestly I almost didn't say anything for my eggs but there were also other things going wrong.

When ordering a mokaccino I asked for extra whipped cream on it, the drink he brought had no whipped cream on it. Had to ask him to bring it back.

2 (out of 3) of the wine glasses that were brought for our drinks were dirty (one had a food bit on it the other white drops on it), had to return them.

My friend ordered baklava crepes, they brought her pancakes (she doesnt like pancakes). We felt bad cause it felt like we were complaining on everything, we didn't say anything for the pancakes.

Ended up paying 42$ for a toast with 2 hardboiled eggs & a mokaccino, issues with both of those items. :/

Don't recommend

Gaspard & Anna était incroyable! Le service, l'acceuil & l'ambiance 10/10. Très sympathique & chaleureux. Je reviendrais pour la nourriture ou leur brunch. Shay est une place parfaite pour venir seul ou en groupe au bar!

Great food & great service. The busboy accidentally threw out our leftovers (& there was still plenty of meat left), but the manager immediately stepped in & took care of us. The chef even made us a fresh to-go portion to replace it. Really appreciated how they handled it.. mistakes happen, but they went above & beyond to make it right.

Love Shay!
We came in late, & they were kind enough to take us. We expected good & tasty & still left amazed.
Everything down to rice was great!
Go see Gaspard at the bar for a great cocktail.
Cheers guys!
