What User likes about Shade:
A great little casual dining experience with amazing food. Tuna tartar, Caesar salad, seafood chowder, grilled salmon were all very good. I would have liked a bit more anchovies in the crumble in my salad. The roasted Brussels which came with the salmon were yummy! View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Shade:
Large parties on the porch, after cocktails, command the whole space. You can’t hear yourself think, the waitstaff are challenged to hear you…it’s enough to ruin one’s dinner, which has some interesting choices on the menu specials. It’s only breakfast for me now. View all feedback.
