Having visited Shay restaurant three times now, I can genuinely vouch for its charm & flavor. Each time I've dined there, it's been a delightful experience. The tartare, muhamara, & shrimp dishes have consistently wowed me with their bold flavors & fresh ingredients. The waffles & chicken for brunch are an indulgence that I won't be able to resist. The atmosphere is warm, the service is friendly, & the food speaks volumes. It's become my go-to spot for a satisfying meal that never disappoints. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving Shay a try!

Normalement, je n'aime pas mettre 5 étoiles, mais je trouve que ce restaurant mérite presque un 10/10. Approved ! 🤌 Deco: Tout d'abord, l'intérieur est splendide. C'est assez intime & grâce aux miroirs sur les côtés, le restaurant paraît plus grand & lumineux. 💡 Service: Le service est rapide, ce qui m'a agréablement surpris. Le personnel semblait tellement apaisé. On ne le mentionne pas souvent, mais cela joue sur l'humeur générale. Contrairement à d'autres endroits où les serveurs semblent tendus, ici, ils étaient calmes & courtois. 🤵 Nourriture: La nourriture était excellente, & je mentirais si je disais le contraire. Nous avons visité plus de 10 restaurants méditerranéens de différentes gammes, & nous avons quand même été agréablement surpris par le menu. Je recommande vivement ce que nous avons pris & surtout de partager pour goûter un peu de tout. Deux assiettes, c'est bien, mais si vous voulez bien manger, ajoutez l'entrée de labneh & demandez du pain. 🥖 🍛 Prix : $$-$$$. Ce n'est pas donné...mais si vous voulez passer un bon moment, cela en vaut la peine. C'était une belle expérience pour nous. Nous y sommes allés pour le brunch &, pour deux personnes, avec deux plats principaux & une entrée, nous avons dépensé environ 80$. Ça reste dispendieux, mais parfois c'est bien de se faire plaisir. 💳 Parking : Pensez-y à l'avance, il n'y a pas beaucoup de places disponibles. 🚗 * Hâte d'y retourner le soir. **

Honestly I went because of the 4.6 rating & I felt so disappointed - the food is average, the atmosphere is so so - not feeling the friendly Sunday brunch vibe I was looking for. Overpriced restaurant I do not recommend for a relax, casual brunch.
