The food was amazing. Ian was our waiter. We had 20 people for my moms 65th & we all had the best time. The kebabs, lamb chops & ribeye were unbelievable

We went to Shay for my friends' bachelorette & the service, food & staff were beyond exceptional. I can't recommend this place enough for yummy drinks & brunch. The set menu was incredible too for $45/person. Thank you, Shay for the wonderful time!

Our brunch here was amazing! We had both benedicts & the felafel latke, which were fresh & flavourful.
The service was also incredible, Shawn took great care of us & was very attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Food & service was good, really enjoyed it however my only comment is that you should let the customers know at the time of the reservation if they will be seated on the terrace. The terrace although nice it lacks ambience, doesn't compare to the inside.

Atmosphere was lovely. Music was way too loud.
Seating is very comfortable & the place is very clean.
Service is nice & Rachelle the manager is one of the best restaurant managers I have had the pleasure to experience. She is exceptionally professional & superbly customer centric.
Food. The appetizers were excellent from the awesome olives to the hot pita wedges.
The French fries are said to be home made. I do not believe this to be true as they did not have the texture or finish of a freshly crust home fried potato. They were dry & tasteless. I had to send back. At $11 way over priced.
The hounds lamb was not worth the price nor tasty. The humous was good, but the lamb had lots of fat, very greasy, chewy like bubble gum, & overall we left most of it over as it was not pleasant to eat.
The chicken kebab was dry & over cooked & lacked seasoning. The roasted patsies were excellent. The sauce was great but surprised it was made of mayonnaise.
Not a place I would return to. Much better elsewhere.

YUMMY!! Nous étions trois & avons partagé 4 assiettes pour le déjeuner ! OMG! DELICIOUS! La crêpe aux pistaches est INCROYABLE! le gravlax de saumon aussi !!! Le resto est super mignon, bien situé & le service était impeccable, je ne me rappelle pas de son nom mais le gars au bar était super gentil !!! Merci ! J'y retourne c'est sûre!

We had a delicious dinner on the covered patio last Saturday & Alexis provided excellent service throughout the meal. Loved all our dishes - the flavours were wonderful. Favourites were the brussel sprouts, heirloom Beets on a bed of labneh, & artichokes!
Tessa
