Jeramie Robison, who gained recognition as a chef at Restaurant Cinq at Hotel Colombe d’Or in Houston, is taking the reins at Shinsei. “We are thrilled to have Jeramie come on board,” said co-owner Tracy Moore Rathbun in a press release, adding, “Jeramie has great ideas for Shinsei and we have big plans for him.” Co-owner Lynae Fearing said, “This young chef has already accomplished a lot in a short time. We are confident that he will take Shinsei to a new level.” The new menu focuses on small plates for sharing, and additional new items will be incorporated by demand.
Along with the chef change, the upstairs dining room will be redecorated in time for the early March launch of their Izakaya service (the Japanese after-work tradition of light snacks and a drink, so basically like a happy hour). The Izakaya menu will be available on weekdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
