A new discovery & definetly will be back. Had Sunday brunch a few weeks ago with my niece. We received a warm welcome from the hostess & the service was top notch. The food was very tasty & the drinks were so flavourful. Want to thank specifically Jason & Charles for their amazing service. They were so attentive . Such great energy. See you soon!

If you've been looking for a good brunch spot, look no further! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful, & the service is top tier. My server, Kenzie, made the experience that much better. Such a sweetie, & she had the best recommendations. You've gotta try the shawarma & eggs benedict!! I also got to meet the manager Damian, & he was such a lovely guy. Thanks again Shay!

Mon nouveau brunch spot préféré! D'abord le resto est super beau, la terrasse est magnifique, située au 2e étage & couverte, on peut l'apprécier peu importe la température. Les plats sont délicieux. Tellement savoureux, bien âpretés & TRÈS généreux sur les portions. Les pancakes au baklava sont divins, le pain doré a une texture de rêve, croustillante & tendre & moelleux à la fois. Le service est rapide & courtois. Ça serait bien un peu plus de choix au niveau café (ça semble être plus axé sur les cocktails) & c'est sûr que c'est un peu dispendieux mais pour les portions, c'est raisonnable. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourne

Celebrated my best friends bachelorette festivities at Shay. We had a fantastic dinner. Everything was so delicious. More than anything, we all loved & appreciate the hospitality & service of the manager & the two fantastic bartenders Charles & Stephen!! Can't wait to come back.
