    Our first time eating here. Joined friends for a delightful night. Excellent food, excellent wait staff, spectacular mid mod ambiance, delicious cocktails. We had a wonderful experience in the dining room, and can’t wait to come back so we can enjoy the outdoor patio when it stops raining. We highly recommend Shangri-la!

    We had such great food! Started with mushroom salad and meatballs. Sooo delicious. Then had Mary’s roasted chicken and the linguini and clams. Everything was so tasty. We sat at the bar. Great service. Only negative was that it was sooo loud.
