It was a pre fixe meal as it was Christmas Eve but I think that worked to our advantage. The Mezze was outstanding. I highly recommend sharing dishes. All of them were very good.

Food was nice and pretty fancy but very small portions for the price as well as fixed menu with no choices. Atmosphere and service was exceptional. Drinks were very overpriced. Amazing place and great one off experience.

Our group of seven enjoyed a great evening, dining at Shun Lee West. The service was impeccable We gathered at the bar for cocktails and conversation before sitting for dinner.Great drinks were had. We over ordered, but took home one main dish as we were running short on time to get to Lincoln Center, which was our fault for having a great time and not rushing our meal !
