Description
Visit South Africa via Hells Kitchen at this urban-rustic wine bar (the names pronounced shai shai). High wood-beam ceilings held aloft by thick cypress-tree logs shelter a bustling pre- and posttheater crowd. Pick from about 100 South African wines served in beakerlike carafes (we like the Tumara Malbec with notes of vanilla), and explore a menu that ranges from the familiar (oysters) to the outré (ostrich tartare).
Hours
Mon–Thu, Sun 5pm–midnight; Fri, Sat 5pm–2am.
The most beautiful & cozy place in Hell's Kitchen. Bring a date and you'll be sure to score :)
Love this place! Going back for the fourth time next week.
