Slow & inattentive service. Can't get a water refill unless you ask for it & it took forever & multiple people to get our bill. Food is fine for the price, although I found the pancakes to be very dense & dry without the added syrup.

I went for brunch on a Sunday with my two step-daugthers. We had a reservation on the terrace. Our table was not ready yet. After 2 min of waiting the manager (I suppose) saw us waiting & immediately offered us free mimosas. When we got to our table, the waitress advised us right away that we might have to wait a little but always came to check on us. One of my step-daughter's unfortunately found a hair in her meal (which is something that could happen at anytime) we didn't make a big deal out if it. The manager offered to bring us a new plate & not be charged for the new plate. We didn't want one, but we asked if we could change it for a dessert & we didn't mind paying for it. He said yes & did not charged us for it, which was really appreciated. It was my 3rd time at Shay's for brunch & the first time for my step-daughters. Although we had those little misapps, best customer service ever, every exchange we had with the waitress & the manager were done with grace & with a huge smile. We felt really appreciated. Excellent exemple of amazing customer service. I would recommend anytime. Can't wait to go back for brunch & try a dinner service. 🙂

Went there for the first time during brunch hour with my friends. Absolutely loved the ambiance of the place. Had the Labneh dip with pita bread as well as the Manakek Hash as my main. It was super good. Our server, Claudine, made sure that we had an amazing experience. Loved her service & I do hope to see her again in future visits at Shay.
