SoHo doesn't need another restaurant. It needed this one, and Eater agrees. Ketchy Shuby is one of the neighborhood's essential tables. The bi-level tropical escape comes courtesy of hospitality visionary Jamie Mulholland, the mind behind Montauk's Surf Lodge and nightlife mainstays Gold Bar and Cain, while the kitchen is run by James Beard Honoree Sean Olnowich. Step off Broome Street and into an island fever dream of flavors & feels.
Grab your $139 pulse (a $220 value) for a 3 Course Chef's Tasting Dinner For Two that includes 2 Appetizers, 2 Entrees, 2 Sides or Desserts, and 2 Glasses of Red or White Wine, Champagne, Prosecco, or Beers.
Olnowich's menu is where the magic lives, pulling from Mulholland's South African and Caribbean roots into something that reads global but tastes precise. A Beet Tartare gets brightened with avocado, quinoa, and spiced coconut yogurt on a crisp corn tortilla, while House-Made Potato Chips arrive loaded with crème fraîche, smoked trout roe, and everything bagel spice. Bangs Isle mussels swim in green coconut curry with lemongrass and ginger, built for sopping up with warm sourdough.
The mains keep the momentum going without losing the thread. Branzino and Fjord salmon play it clean with salsa verde and dill cream, while the Angus NY Steak goes bright with chimichurri. Every dish gets hits the perfect note, with sides like Smashed Peewee Potatoes with sriracha yuzu mayo or Brown Butter Bread Pudding for dessert.
A thoughtfully curated bar program keeps pace with the food, built for slow sips upstairs or a full night out downstairs, where a 24-foot bar and reggae beats take over after dark. It's the rare spot that works equally well for a quiet dinner and a night that doesn't end until last call.
Tropical escape by day, downtown dance floor by night, Ketchy Shuby is the SoHo reservation you didn't know you needed until you had it...
Ketchy Shuby is the brainchild of Jamie Mulholland, a South African-born restaurateur who spent formative years in St. Maarten before building a hospitality empire that includes Montauk's beloved Surf Lodge, along with Gold Bar and Cain. Since opening in September 2023 along the border of Nolita and SoHo, Mulholland has channeled both halves of his upbringing into this sanctuary. Even the name carries a story, pulled straight from a Peter Tosh song.
In the kitchen, James Beard Honoree Sean Olnowich serves as culinary director, shaping a menu that reflects Mulholland's global point of view without losing sight of modern American technique. Behind the bar, cocktail director Wayne Gravesande rounds out the concept with a drinks program built to match the food's ambition, equally suited to a slow sip upstairs or a full night of dancing below.
The design tells its own story. Fashion photographer Dimitri Hyacinthe led the vision, blending earthy tones and meticulous detail into something that feels both inviting and enchanting. "Rastrapreneur" Rohan Marley brought authentic island energy to the space, while photographer Lee Jaffe and African surf brand Mami Wata helped shape the aesthetic further. The result is a place anchored by a handcrafted tree with live bark and sprawling branches, its lush greenery and rattan furnishings.
That duality plays out across two distinct floors. Upstairs, the Main Dining Room is all about high ceilings and natural light that shift from casual elegance by day to a warm, amber glow by night. Downstairs, the Lounge takes on a moodier character entirely, with exposed brick, velvet seating, and a dramatic 24-foot bar anchoring a space built for connection. Picture Latin, reggae, and reggaeton beats pulsing under ambient lighting until last call.
Dinner is served, but the night is only just getting started...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

"I can’t say enough good things about this place! My friends and I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for somewhere fun to eat last night, and we were absolutely blown away. The restaurant itself is stunning, and our server was incredible. The salmon was hands down the best I’ve ever had, and everything else we ordered was just as fantastic. I would recommend this spot to absolutely anyone, and we’re already planning our next visit. This place is a gem!"
"Food was delicious, everything that the server recommended was a 10/10. The hospitality was on another level. You must try the Stracciatella, we loved it. To end the night we finished off with dessert! Thank you."
"We had such a great experience at Ketchy Shuby! The vibe is fun and energetic, perfect for a night out, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our server, Milo, truly made the night, he was attentive, personable, and gave excellent recommendations. He kept everything flowing smoothly and made us feel genuinely taken care of. We’ll definitely be back. 10/10."
