About the restaurant

Mark and Mary Shapley began this dining tradition in 1985 and soon became one of the premier restaurants in the state. After taking a break to raise their two girls, they have returned with the same great food and service everyone came to know. Great steaks and seafood along with their famous tamales are still the main attraction along with an impressive bar and wine offerings. Please come by and see for yourself how special this restaurant is. We were recently voted 'Best Fine Dining' by the readers of Mississippi Magazine

About the restaurant

Tasting menu from a multi James Beard nominated restaurant; Our menu format is market driven "chef's choice" multi course tasting.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Ocean Springs, Mississippi, our establishment is a cozy historic house converted into a small restaurant. Our capacity allows us to serve a maximum group size of 4 at this time.

Join us in our culinary adventure; Owner chefs Alex (the husband from Mississippi Gulf Coast) and Kumi (the wife from Japan) create menus inspired by the seasons, preservation efforts, and whatever sounds tasty each day for our valued guests. We are a proud supporter of small scale local / regenerative farmers and sustainable seafood industry.

So please, let us cook for you. It is what we do best!

Note: please allocate minimum of two hours for dining. Menu modification due to food allergy may be accommodated with notice in advance (at least 48 hours) when possible, but not guaranteed. We are a small kitchen with shared equipments.

OK, I cannot rave enough about Vestige. I had never been to a five course meal before and it completely blew my expectations out of the water. The food was so beyond unique. Everything paired so well together and I want to go back every month! If you are on the fence about trying this place, just do it! You will not regret it!!! Be prepared to spend a pretty penny though, but we knew that going forward. Also the cocktails were top notch and the wait staff was very welcoming and inviting and not to mention knowledgeable! 10/10 experience!

What a fabulous 24th Anniversary celebration !! Food, cocktails and ambience were all fantastic but the service from Arthur was what really made our night. Kind, attentive, gave us the perfect suggestions. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Ocean Springs!

I asked for the standard dining room in the reservation, but we were seated in the bar area.
