This Stylish Spot Is Soho's Best Kept Secret!

It's nearly impossible to escape the crowds in Soho, between the hoards of tourists and desperate clusters of see-and-be-seen hopefuls spilling out into the streets.

For those looking for a sophisticated, delicious dining experienced south of Houston, there's simply one spot - Vestry.

Michelin-Starred Chef Shaun Hergatt’s sleek restaurant, located next to the Dominique Hotel, is a stylish oasis in the otherwise flashy neighborhood. To match the space's chic design, the dress code is set as Smart Casual, with guests understandably asked to refrain from wearing shorts, tank tops, or honestly god forbid, flip flops.

Seasonally driven seafood dishes highlighting farm fresh produce and catches of the day fill the menu, enhanced with Japanese ingredients and plated to perfection.

Big Eye Tuna with potato crisp and tarragon.

Sushi Rice with egg yolk, shiso and trout roe.

Black Cod with edamame, daikon radish and young onions.

And don't even get us started on the desserts! 

The Homemade Cheesecake - brilliantly styled to look like a wedge of cheese - truly delivers.

Best arrive thirsty as well as hungry. Beverage Director Irene Miller has carefully curated the restaurant’s esteemed beverage program, a laundry list of must-try cocktails, wines, beers and ciders.

So, see you there?
