Wander across the cobblestone street and into The Dominick hotel to discover respected chef Shaun Hergatt's charming New York City restaurant, Vestry. Here the menu features hyper-seasonal, Japanese-influenced American plates served in a sleek, gold and black setting awash in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Australian chef garnered much of his experience from working at The Ritz-Carlton, Sydney, followed by a stint as the chef de cuisine at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park and as the executive chef at The Setai, Miami Beach. Then Hergatt went back to New York to strike out on his own, opening the much-celebrated and sorely missed spots SHO and Juni.
In 2020, the chef returned to the city’s world-class dining scene to debut Vestry, which brings the same elegance as his other establishments and the same level of exquisite food — here, it’s primarily seafood and vegetables.
