    Zinc shade was very nice. We ate outdoors and they had high chair for 17 months baby with no charge! We will be back next Christmas. Service was excellent.

    Wasn’t pleased with the food for the cost and it wasn’t made obvious when I booked that it was a limited menu. The advice was great and beautiful decor though.

    The quality of food at Shade has dropped. Everyone in my party complained about the eggs being understandable cooked and tasting off. Once again our waiter was Victor, who is authoritarian and unfriendly. We had 11:00 reservations on Christmas Eve. The restaurant had a Prix fix menu for Christmas Eve dinner starting 2:00 pm. Victor was militant in “you HAVE to order by 11:15” over and over. There is a nicer way to convey this information. And why are Rhea even accepting 11:00 reservations if the kitchen can’t accommodate the guests?

    I had the crispy rice with tuna & calamari. The calamari was great. The tuna on the crispy rice was mashed up and I prefer how most places do it which is chunks of tuna.
    zinc@shadeResponded on October 30, 2024
    Hi Toni, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Glad to hear you enjoyed our Calamari, however, we're sorry to hear that you found the tuna on the crispy rice mashed up. We'll definitely take your feedback into consideration. We hope to see you soon!
