Our family really enjoyed our experience at Sandro’s. The staff and atmosphere were welcoming and the food was amazing. The halibut was cooked to perfection, as was the Cacio e Pepe! We recommend dining there and will definitely go back.

We sat upstairs and thoroughly enjoyed our rack of lamb dinners. Despite many tables being vacant, a group of eight people on the other side of the room were discourteously noisy. Our service was less attentive than it should have been, especially given the absence of other tables for her to wait on. Nonetheless, the food was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves.

When we come into the city, we try to come here, especially during the holidays because it’s quiet, the food is excellent and the service is top notch. The scallion pancakes are the lightest I’ve ever had. During the holidays, you can try to go to one of the restaurants that are decorated for Christmas, but it’s noisy and the food for the most part is sub par, but at Shun Lee it’s a,ways good.
