A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space.

    - shrimp and grits very well seasoned - duck confit good balance of sweet savory - ambiance lovely, but I read somewhere there was jazz during lunch and it seemed very muted, but maybe that’s just me - service was exceptional! our server Chris kept checking in on us and went above and beyond.

    Everything about this meal was incredible. There were 6 of us and we never even made it to the Large Dishes. We all shared most of the Salatim, then ordered several of the Hummus Dishes and finally ordered a few of the Small Plates. Our waitress was perfectly attentive, our drinks were always filled and the Pita was freshly made and the plate was filled to our hearts content. Would DEFINITELY recommend Shaya.

    The food and service was amazing. I had the cheeseburger and my sister had the lamb burger. We both enjoyed. We also had the fresh cut fries and onion rings. For dessert we tried the hot apple spring roll with ice cream. We enjoyed our dinning experience. Everything was exceptional.
