I went yesterday as a small group of 3. Michelle was such an awesome server and she has been there forever so you can definitely count on her to be able answer your questions. It was our first time and Lauren the manager stopped by to check on us! Everything my was perfect and super enjoyable. I had the poutine and couldn’t finish all in one sitting (I think I conquered enough of it). I’d highly recommend the Tropical Delight if you’re a sweet fan for your drinks. Beautiful atmosphere we will definitely be stopping by again! Thank you!!!

Stopped into The Shelby for an unplanned dinner and was seated almost right away. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. My wife and I started with the wings, which were cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. We both ordered burgers after that, and they were equally top-notch.
The second patio dining area was open during our visit, offering a relaxed, stylish atmosphere that was a bit quieter than the main dining space, perfect for conversation. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back.

Food & ambiance were was excellent. Arrived @ 7:20pm on a Thursday— parking lot filled (circled it twice – only 2 spots open) but no wait for table despite that. Restaurant was busy.

We’ve been to the Shelby several times over the years and they are always consistent. Service was excellent…prompt, always checking on us, friendly. We went with another couple. My wife and her friend shared the Paella, her husband had the pork chop with a double bone! I had the short rib “moussaka”. I put that in quotes because it’s not a traditional moussaka, but it’s their spin on the dish. The Paella had very good flavor seafood was cooked to perfection, and was presented in a attractive double handle pan. My wife said the chorizo was the star of the dish. The Pork chop was very flavorful, it tasted like it had been brined, and the seasoning was just right. However, it was just slightly overcooked so it came out a little on the dry side. My moussaka had excellent flavor, and their short rib is always very tasty. The short rib was intermingled with lightly breaded and fried eggplant, and the whole dish was surrounded by a very tasty bechamel sauce. The only suggestion I would have would be to add a little more salt to the dish (this could just be personal preference). We didn’t have dessert this time. Oh I forgot the appetizers. My wife and I shared the short rib bao buns. Excellent. Our friends had the mussels and they were also excellent except one mussel was bad and my friend accidentally ate it. The bill came out to $218 after a $40 tip. 2 appetizers, 3 mains, 5 drinks. I will go back. Sorry for the bad pictures… I accidentally had my phone on portrait mode.

One of the best ( not to say the best) restaurant in town. Great atmosphere,modern decoration, friendly,kind and helpful employees. Very big, spacious and cosy. The menu with a great variety of everything. What we ate was excellent. The drinks and wines also great. One of the best experiences l had in the USA. I strongly suggest it to everyone visiting the area. Thank you very much.

Our server Aaliyah was so sweet and attentive! We especially appreciated her going the extra mile throughout our dining experience (like asking the bartender about wine availability, splitting our salads into 3 separate bowls, and packing/labeling our leftovers). Her friendliness and consideration made our time at The Shelby absolutely enjoyable! We also loved all the vegetarian options on the menu 🙂 Thank you so much, Aaliyah!!

While it’s a bustling place, it’s very cozy and not overly loud. Our waitress (Bri) really went above and beyond; pouring wine and dividing plates shared where possible. The dishes were outstanding. Highly recommend beet salad and the paella.

Great night with friends. Fun atmosphere. Fantastic service from Julian and delicious food. Appreciated Julian’s suggestion of ordering a pair of Burrata Caprese so the kitchen could split it into 4 portions, giving each of us a great starter!
The Moussaka with short rib ragu was exceptionally delicious. Crispy fried eggplant with a luxurious slow cooked short rib sauce and creamy bechamel was incredibly.
Great cocktails made a terrific evening with good friends

I highly — no, strongly — recommend this place. We’re from Europe, and finding truly delicious food in the U.S. is almost impossible, but we stopped by this restaurant by accident and were honestly shocked. Everything was incredibly tasty, the service was excellent, the place is clean, smells nice, and has a beautiful interior. Thank you for a magical breakfast. At 10 AM it was almost completely full — lots of people love this place! Highly recommended
