About this business
Formerly known as Shane Restaurant & Bar, this joint has undergone a makeover and now serves up fusion cuisine that mixes European, Asian, and Mexican flavors. It also boasts of a full bar, and DJs spin out happening numbers each night, but the service could do with some improvement. Head here if you want to chill out with friends for a few hours after work. If you are impressed with the food, inquire about the cooking classes held here.

Great Service...Great Food...Great Cocktails – Never have I written a review but I am so shocked that anyone would say anything neg about this place!! It is the only place I will eat up on Main Street...I actually have planned dates around the hours they are open. The only thing I wish they would change... is being closed on Sunday's.
really odd experience... – OK, something is amiss at this place. It just feels weird. Bad vibes. So, my dining friend and I heard there was a new spot on Main, and we were excited to go check it out! We tried to make a reservation, but there was no answer all 4 tims that we tried. Finally, we just decided we'd drop in and hope for the best. It was around 8pm on a Thursday night. We figured we'd be out of luck, but nope! We had our pick of any table in the restaurant. Over our first round of cocktails we decided it was just t... read more
whats the big deal? – i dont no why all the haters. this plac erocks!music food enviroment service is exelent the 1 time i came will be back. come see 4 yourself its a great place to hang n skope out all the hotties.way better than getto circle bar you no??? im glad youre hear maliah!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus hot barrtender!!!!!!!
i would be embarrassed to be seen here – Whoever answered the phone when I called for reservations was so rude I was appalled. And it's not like they were too busy. I was calling before they were even open! Besides that, I wish I had gone on citysearch before I'd gone in. The food was above average (though the wait was long) but the service and the ambience and the music and the decor? Don't bother. Go to whatever they are calling that bar on 72 Market St. instead.
SoHo feel my heinie! – i resent that i based any recomendations at all on the reviews on this website. i went back and read the reviews thinking, what was i thinking?!? and, as a new york transplant, i know that the main attraction was the reviewer who said (and i quote) "SoHo feel!!!" i, and all new yorkers, should be insulted at the thought. anyone from the village should be absolutly up in arms at the thought! miserable time, horrible service (and if there's one thing ny is known for is the FOOD and the RESTAURANT SERVICE... read more
Bad service, average food – After reading these reviews, I decided to give the new neighborhood restaurant a chance anyway and go for some drinks with friends. I was embarrassed to have volunteered this place. The service was just awful. We waited forever (over 15 mins) for our drinks and the server didn't seem to know anything about the menu. Also was never around when we needed service but was on our tails to clear off our plates, like we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Food was okay, just this side of average (may ... read more
awful. – ugh. worst night ever. got there for a birthday party in the back room. ordered a round of martinis which the server promptly spilled all over a couple of people. she then ran away and never returned. replacement drinks were ordered as well as food..most people never got their food or drinks. seriously. we sat there for three hours until the first round of drinks FINALLY arrived at the behest of the manager (we had just been going to the bar at that point). they did give us free desserts, which was thoughtful but a ... read more
Check it out and see for yourself – Check it out and see! I heard of a new place just a few minutes from my house in Santa Monica called Malia restaurant. It is good to see a charming neighborhood restaurant where people can go and just relax and enjoy good food with friends. The people are friendly and they make you feel at home. Later in the evening after we partied with our friends in the patio section and burn off some energy. It was a good time. Thanks malia!
Better when it was Shane – The inside looks straight out of a budget makeover show - kind of looks cool, but up close it's cheap & tacky. For example my pet peeve is there is this fake suede cloth material they've put over the booths, but since it is not tacked down it keeps sliding and is annoying. Either reupholster your furniture, or leave it alone. Food is okay, it was better when it was Shane. That pretty much goes for everything - it's okay, but it was better before. Especiallly the vibe, it is completely dead, it used... read more
