    This is our third time at Shelby and we were not disappointed. Every dish is delicious and well prepared. The atmosphere and view of the city make this place a prime destination for a diner with great drinks.

    The cocktails we ordered when we first arrived were nice and arrived on time. Then we ordered something to eat and our second drinks. The food arrived before our drinks arrived and we were already waiting for the food. We waited thinking maybe our drinks would arrive soon, but they didn't. There are 0 employees around to take care of you. Our waiter never even returned to the table and asked if everything was okay. They try to leave immediately without looking at the table. After asking 3 times for our drinks, we said we wanted to cancel and they brought our drinks immediately. I know that it is not very difficult to bring wine because I work in the service sector. Anyway, maybe he forgot etc. but he had to come and check. The cheese plate we told was for wine. Not for a wine that arrives 40 minutes later…

    The view and ambience is great, however the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the braised short rib, pappardelle, tuna tartare, and chocolate mousse. All the items we ordered were quite bad and tasted a bit off. The tuna didn’t taste fresh, chocolate mousse was very grainy, etc. Wouldn’t go back for the food. Can’t comment on the drinks as we didn’t get any.

    My friend and I dined here for dinner and drinks. The view was incredible and the food was mouth watering and full of flavor. As the night progressed, the music became very loud to the point where we could not hear each other. They were not able to turn it down, but I was still very pleased with my experience at Shelbys.

    Great venue for an upscale experience. The service was not great, had to wave down our server multiple times. The place gets busy despite the high price tag. Would go again but will be cautious if you're expecting high attentive service.
