ROMY is a 40-seat steakhouse on Prince Street in SoHo, open 5pm to 1am. The menu is built around a raw bar, premium steaks and classic sides. The kitchen is small and the standard is high.
The Sous Chef is the Executive Chef's right hand and runs the line every service.
What you'll do
- Run the pass: call tickets, expedite, and jump on any station
- Own steak cookery: butchery, portioning, dry-aging program, and every temp leaving the kitchen
- Oversee the raw bar: oysters, crudo, and shellfish towers, from receiving through plating
- Lead pre-shift: check mise, taste sauces, brief the team on specials and 86s
- Place daily orders, check deliveries, rotate stock, and track waste and food cost
- Train and hold line and prep cooks to recipe and plating specs
- Keep the kitchen clean, labeled, and NYC DOH compliant every shift
- Run the kitchen on the Chef's days off, including late-night close
What you bring
- 3+ years in a professional kitchen, with 1+ year as Sous, Junior Sous, or Lead Line Cook
- Steakhouse or serious protein experience: whole-cut butchery and cooking to temp
- Raw bar and shellfish handling
- A record of staying at a restaurant and growing there
- Steady under pressure, a clear communicator, and someone who teaches as well as cooks
- Available nights, weekends, and late closes
- Kitchen Spanish is a plus

Part of Prince Street Hospitality
Romy is bringing SoHo a new after-dark ritual: a 40-seat neighborhood steakhouse from Cobi Levy, the downtown veteran behind Little Prince and Lola Taverna, taking over his own former Prince Street space. Expect a tight, seductive menu built around raw bar and premium steaks with all the classic sides you'd want alongside, plus a full bar pouring wine, beer, and cocktails (though you'll want a table — there's no seat at the bar). Doors open at 5pm and stay open until 1am, making Romy the rare SoHo spot built for both dinner and the after-dinner crowd.
