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.
We went here on Valentines day & Jose was an amazing bartender/waiter. He went over the top & gave exceptional service. Not to mention the food was fantastic!! A1 all around. Definitely recommend!
I had my birthday there & we had the group menu. It was an abundance of really good food! We had so much to eat. But everything was delicious! It's a rrally great place for a group settings or a date!

Had a reservation for my birthday & the service was exceptional. Very friendly & patient. The food was delicious & the ambiance was amazing! Would recommend anyday
Un lieu très classe & élégant avec une carte variée (aussi bien le menu brunch que le soir) & des plats délicieux & copieux! Leurs cocktails sont excellents également & le barman peut même ajouter sa touche personnelle au besoin. J'y suis retournée 2 fois dans la même journée & j'ai été ravie après chaque repas! J'y retournerai très prochainement! Seul bémol: la musique etait très forte lors du brunch & mon amie & moi devions presque crier pour s'entendre.
The food was so good, especially the lamb shawarma & brussel sprouts. Our waitress, Pamela, was the best waitress I have ever had. She had great timing, great food suggestions, & totally made the experience even better.

The food was pretty delicious, & the place had a nice vibe! I just didn't love the service, because it was very much lacking. Our waitress just didn't seem like a kind person, & she even spilled a few things on some of us at the table - never apologized for the inconvenience of that... kind of bizarre behaviour. I'd go back for the food but definitely hope to be served by someone happy to be there as part of the staff.
Toujours fantastique! La nourriture est extraordinairement remplie de saveurs & le menu est excellent même pour les végétariens. & le service & les recommandations sont toujours excellents. On y retourne encore & encore!
