    Restaurant was empty. Sat us on the other side of restaurant. Eerily quiet. Waitress did not bring us plates to share appetizer or at the very least to discard our chicken wing bones. Brought salads & soups with our meal instead of before the meal. When given the check to sign, she kept the itemized copy—most likely intentionally because gratuity was already added. Luckily my husband stopped me before signing the check because I was tipping her again.

    Had Shula's certificates to celebrate birthday and wedding anniversary. Hotel desk didn't know if they would be honored, said "You'll just have to come in to see if they are good." Have been out of town, didn't know about name change. Will not return to this restaurant. I know staffing and food quality is a tough challenge right now, but this changeover was poorly handled. Too many other good choices nearby.

    This place was terrible. First off, it is no longer Shula's despite the online perception that it is. It is now called "The Sanctuary". The food was absolutely awful and despite the menu purposely being similar to when it was Shula's as well as the prices, it was not high-end dining in any way. Very disappointed in the deception that they are still Shula's and not finding out until you get there.

    I ordered the maple mustard salmon with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, it was quite delicious. My waiter Matt was very friendly and checked on me several times. Food was served in a timely manner.

    We did not know before arriving but this is NOT the Shula restaurant we had known in the past. It had been at least 10 years since we last were there. They used to have sports memorabilia everywhere but the restaurant part was closed. We ate at the bar area where they had a few TV's. The food and service however were good.
