    We have been to shamone many times. This was the fist time we were truly disappointed with the meal. The soup and tuna on a wonton were delicious. All the other dishes felt poorly thought out and not served at the proper temperature (most were luke warm at best). I do believe this was a one off and the nightly chef just wasn’t confident in his skills because he seemed rather uninterested in preparation of the meal (felt like he was laying across the counter anytime I looked towards the kitchen). I will say that Shamone has NEVER been a disappointment and we will absolutely return. Just maybe not on a Sunday in January.

    Brunch was delicious! Four of us went and between us tried eight entrees, and would recommend all (My favorite was blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes). Service was wonderful. Will definitely go back!

    Unique dining experience where you get 14 or so small bites. There were some misses ( based on our tastes) but overall it was great. A lot of food. Come hungry. And go to the bathroom... It's a trip!

    The food and service was outstanding. Nice touch with the Chef coming out to see how all was at the end of the dining experience. Great music playlist as well!

    Not you average restaurant. Loud. Dark. Could even be uncomfortable for some. Should go with conversationalists. Dinner will be near 2 hours long. Course by Course. 8, 9, 10 courses - who knows that night. The mystery is not for some but makes the place for us! Tapas on steroids. Though each portion is small perhaps save for one 'main', it will be unlikely if you leave less than full. You kind of have to experience it to really know, but, if you like most foods, like some mystery, like a nice leisurely pace with your friends and find a funky and ecclectic setting 'fun' you will like Shamone.

    What a wonderful experience! A variety of flavors spread through 15 courses over 2hrs. Grab a bottle of wine for this BYOB and enjoy food, conversation, and a great music soundtrack.
