Sommelier

Dean’s is a British Pub-inspired concept, the latest project from Chef Jess Shadbolt and Annie Shi, the duo behind beloved New York restaurants Jupiter and King.

Dean’s is inspired by the British pub and brings that spirit to our neighborhood here in Soho. It is influenced by the coastline of the UK while also celebrating the heritage, uncomplicated and seasonal cooking that Annie and Jess have championed at King, Jupiter and Lei - this time, through a British lens. Dean’s is warm, relaxed and welcoming; a place where you can stop by and gather for a pint at the bar or stay longer for a leisurely dinner in the dining room.
