Shaun Hergatt Finally Leaves the Financial District

At the end of July, acclaimed chef Shaun Hergatt will leave his Michelin starred restaurant SHO Shaun Hergatt in the Financial District to start over in a new location. Flo Fab reports that the chef is ending his partnership with the restaurant's main investor, Asher Zamir. He tells the Times:

There was an opportunity for me to move SHO and to elevate the restaurant to another leve...For me to advance I couldn’t do it with the same partner, and Zamir knows that.

Almost every single critic that reviewed the restaurant loved the food but hated the dreary location — it's situated on the second floor of a condo building on Broad Street, and only accessible via an elevator and a series of long corridors.

Hergatt says that he's teaming up with a new group of investors, and that he hopes to open another, smaller restaurant of the same name, perhaps in Midtown. Zamir notes: "We will continue to run the restaurant...We are formulating various options now, with a different name, a different brand and a different chef.”
