TastyPals Editorial Pick
SL
Sophie Laurent
Food Editor
“Order the signature small plates at SHAY. The menu is designed to be shared, which means the kitchen has thought about how the dishes land together rather than individually. The room earns the rest of the evening. The room earns the occasion without asking you to dress for it. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.”
