“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“Fantastic new place in town. Just went by tonight and got some of everything to try it all out. Fantastic food with great flavor, excellent service too! I was sad when Skewers went away, loved that place but Tiko Tiko is definitely a worthy replacement! I will definitely be back soon!“

“The food is delicious and fresh! This has been one of our go-to-favorites for years! We always order the build-your-own-bowl-the-grains-and-greens, with grilled chicken. And you can get extra grilled chicken! Perfect for the nights you don’t want to cook but you want something healthy! The staff is above and beyond! A shout out to Brian and the gentleman who was the cashier on the evening of Sept. 8. Sorry I didn’t get his name but he was so kind! My card didn’t work and I didn’t have enough cash, and he said not to worry about it. There was a long line, but he was patient and just so compassionate! When I went back and spoke to Brian, he was just so kind as well. Thank you so much for understanding, and, it turns out it was just a glitch with my card. You better believe we will continue to go back—food and staff are the Best! Go, you’ll be glad you did!“

“great place for romantic day“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“I had the pleasure of eating here as part of a work event March 23rd in the evening. Our party had 50 or 60 people in attendance and we were sat outside overlooking the golf course. The food was good but the real standout was the overall service we received from the staff. Because there were so many of us and this was a meet/greet event, people did not tend to stay in one place very long. The staff assigned to our table took orders and somehow still remembered who ordered what dish regardless of where they may have moved to at the tables. I was jaw-dropped at the level of attentiveness and accuracy. I have worked in food service in a previous career and fully appreciate this kind of work. I hope the resort pays them appropriately, especially MJ. She was such an MVP. Thank you for a great experience.“
