Went there for a private celebration. Was disappointed at first since when you book online, you have to pay 50$ per person to guarantee the reservation but I was able to make a booking by phone. The place is little bit worn out but we got a nice table. Unfortunately most of the items you see on their social media are not available, so we had to choose from their lunch menu which is somehow limited. However the food presentation & taste are excellent. Some items needed few adjustments but in general, everything was great. The only thing I will go back to have another time is their dessert the baklava pancake something, oh my god , it is from another world( highly recommended) . The service was very good & friendly , in general I will try again. They charged 15$ for parking which I found somehow strange & the kitchen closes at 15:00 but you still can stay in the resto
Having visited Shay restaurant three times now, I can genuinely vouch for its charm & flavor. Each time I've dined there, it's been a delightful experience. The tartare, muhamara, & shrimp dishes have consistently wowed me with their bold flavors & fresh ingredients. The waffles & chicken for brunch are an indulgence that I won't be able to resist. The atmosphere is warm, the service is friendly, & the food speaks volumes. It's become my go-to spot for a satisfying meal that never disappoints. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving Shay a try!
Normalement, je n'aime pas mettre 5 étoiles, mais je trouve que ce restaurant mérite presque un 10/10. Approved ! 🤌 Deco: Tout d'abord, l'intérieur est splendide. C'est assez intime & grâce aux miroirs sur les côtés, le restaurant paraît plus grand & lumineux. 💡 Service: Le service est rapide, ce qui m'a agréablement surpris. Le personnel semblait tellement apaisé. On ne le mentionne pas souvent, mais cela joue sur l'humeur générale. Contrairement à d'autres endroits où les serveurs semblent tendus, ici, ils étaient calmes & courtois. 🤵 Nourriture: La nourriture était excellente, & je mentirais si je disais le contraire. Nous avons visité plus de 10 restaurants méditerranéens de différentes gammes, & nous avons quand même été agréablement surpris par le menu. Je recommande vivement ce que nous avons pris & surtout de partager pour goûter un peu de tout. Deux assiettes, c'est bien, mais si vous voulez bien manger, ajoutez l'entrée de labneh & demandez du pain. 🥖 🍛 Prix : $$-$$$. Ce n'est pas donné...mais si vous voulez passer un bon moment, cela en vaut la peine. C'était une belle expérience pour nous. Nous y sommes allés pour le brunch &, pour deux personnes, avec deux plats principaux & une entrée, nous avons dépensé environ 80$. Ça reste dispendieux, mais parfois c'est bien de se faire plaisir. 💳 Parking : Pensez-y à l'avance, il n'y a pas beaucoup de places disponibles. 🚗 * Hâte d'y retourner le soir. **

Nous avons passé une soirée magnifique! Merci pour tes recommandations & ton service exemplaire Pamela, c'était absolument délicieux ! Nous reviendrons bientôt ! Pascale & Félix
Honestly I went because of the 4.6 rating & I felt so disappointed - the food is average, the atmosphere is so so - not feeling the friendly Sunday brunch vibe I was looking for. Overpriced restaurant I do not recommend for a relax, casual brunch.
