Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

We had a great time at Shay, during our first-time visit. Our table was right where we had asked for when reserving for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter was a delight, knowledgeable & made a number of tasty recommendations. Food was delicious & so was the Amarone wine we had. Service was impeccable & the four of us enjoyed the atmosphere throughout. We will be back :) !

Service was good. The staff was attentive & welcoming. The food was slightly above room temperature, the lamb from the lamb shawarma benedict was dry. The tatter tots from their morning potatoes felt oily because of the ambient temperature of the dishes altogether. For the price & quality of the food, I wouldn't come back unless they fix those.

I really enjoy the food, but it's very noisy. I left with an irritated throat from yelling to be heard. That's the only negative.
