We love it here! Such a fun and unique experience. The food is fabulous! The atmosphere is such a good vibe. The music , the service and the presentation is just incredible.

What an amazing dining experience! The ambience, the 15 course menu was delightful. Highly recommend.
Hugh
Best enjoyed as a couple's experience (not for groups or kids). Interesting twists since you never know what the next small plate is. 15 plates is more than enough for dinner.

Excellent brunch experience at Shamone after 1/2 marathon. Perfect food experience, mixers for byob cocktails and the owner was friendly and hospitable. Will be back to try dinner!

Perhaps our 8th or 10th visit and each meal is a party, and a surprise. Great, interesting food! Each bite better than the next. Last nights stars, the beer cheese soup, butternut squash ravioli with bacon cream, and beer braised bratwurst with cabbage and roasted potatoes. Although the other 9 bites were wonderful too. It's amazing to watch George and Hector do their kitchen ballet, and it's a study in great service watching Tanya in action. Can't wait to go back!

This was our second visit to Shamone in six months. Their menu changes regularly, so we were happy to go back and try new courses. Music is great - rock, funk, and R&B from the 60s to present day. This is a unique experience and not for everyone - the music is loud, everyone gets the 15-course menu (and there are no take-out boxes), and there is only one seating. But if you are an adventurous eater and want to experience a fun, creative fine dining experience, we highly recommend Shamone!

We did Shamone years ago and it was amazing. It was a whole experience of interesting cuisine where you felt like the chief really got to be creative he also came out and talked to everyone. This time it was so loud you couldn't hear what they were serving and nothing was that great it felt like random items that you could get from anywhere. A buffalo flatbread that felt like a bad slice of buffalo chicken pizza, a puff pastry that felt like it was taken out of a premade package. It's a great concept but it's not what it used to be. It's such a great opportunity for a chief to have fun with things and make exotic food but it was the opposite of that.

Just want to preface by saying this is the first review I have ever written… Do not go here… I can’t say enough bad things about this place. From start to finish it was the weirdest thing I’ve ever been apart of. The atmosphere is really weird and makes no sense, never mind the loud music and low lighting but all mismatched chairs that are different heights, odd posters on the wall and a Twilight Zone themed bathroom with the show playing really loud and toilet paper nailed to the wall? All the windows have black out curtains and another curtain hanging in between the dining area and the “foyer”… just an intensely weird atmosphere that made us feel uneasy. So confusing and disorienting. Some of the food was obviously frozen, most was clearly store bought with some courses being soggy arugula and dressing on a plate. Genuinely shocked at how terrible every single thing was. I still think we might have been on a prank show or something. I can not stress this enough… SO BAD. SO ODD. NOT GOOD AT ALL. Go anywhere else and I guarantee it will be better. The only good thing is that it was so terrible that my wife and I are laughing about it. As far as the 5 star reviews? I think they must be bots or something. Based on our experience there is no way on earth anyone has ever enjoyed a meal here.

A great experience and well worth the price: a dozen courses(most ranged from good to great, only 1 salad we didn't care for) plus great service and great vibes, unpretentious but intimate setting.
Stuart
Such an interesting concept... good food, served congenially. 14 courses (all small portions).
Went there this last Sunday. Food was amazing, service was great, and would definitely go back again. Perfect for a date night

Fantastic dinner. Wonderful assortment of all different kinds of foods to try. Our server, James, was very helpful in describing each dish and pairing them with suggested wines we brought.

James our waiter was amazing and we always Love George the chef! Such a fun experience with friends

Overall they were very accommodating about my gluten allergy however since when we were there 5 years the food quality was much better. The concierge was also a weird part of the experience. I think if I go back I will stick to our favorite classic George Place. We went there and their food is as good as ever.
