The dinner at Shay was amazing. First of all the waitress Pamela was very helpful & attentive. Brought the different courses at a perfect time frame. The Manager at the reception was so friendly & all the staff really made us feel special. We had only vegetarian plates which weee all delicious. Particularly outstanding were the roasted beets, Fattel Batinjein(eggplant) , sumac fries & the dulce de leche dessert was fabulous.
The atmosphere is conducive to a very enjoyable dinner.
Thanks for a great meal. Will definitely be back.

Je suis allé pour l'anniversaire de ma soeur car le restaurant a des bonnes critiques mais je suis sortie extrêmement déçue ! On était 4 personnes & on a commander 6 assiettes. Les repas étaient froids !!! Les crêpes baklava sont supposées les meilleurs & elles étaient sec & froides aussi. On a fait la remarque & on nous a pas prit au sérieux & ils s'en foutaient. La seule bonne chose est que le serveur était aimable. Je trouve ça poche aller au restaurant pour manger de la nourriture froide ...
