I give this review in the context of having paid $300 for a meal and my expectations of such an experience. On New Years Eve and the anniversary for my fiancee and I, we patroned Chez Shea and found them to be below expectations. We were initially ignored when we entered despite the fact that their were employees who were not occupied. We had to request to have our coats hung up and were told by the hostess to remind her to get it for us when we left (as we left we retrieved the coats ourselves from the closet as no one was around). Of the six course meal only one of the appetizers and the dessert made me go ""mmm"", the rest was nothing special. The service was average and not especially nice. The waitress only poured the taster pour of wine for my partner and did not pour me a glass to test. The atmosphere is nice (we sat in the lounge) and the specialty drinks were very yummy. But, overall, a great disappointment to our budget and our special nite.
