Dominique St. Pierre, Chef de Cuisine

Her culinary journey began in independently owned seafood restaurants on the East Coast, where she developed a strong foundation in classic techniques and discovered a drive to continuously challenge herself and grow as a chef.

When Chef Dominique moved west to Arizona, she further refined her craft at The Phoenician. During her time at Mowry & Cotton, she advanced to Sous Chef, building a reputation for thoughtful leadership and innovative menu development. In August 2025, she was promoted to Chef de Cuisine at Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, where she now oversees culinary operations across the hotel’s dining venues, including Carcara, the property’s signature restaurant.

Since taking the helm at Carcara, Chef Dominique has earned recognition throughout Arizona’s culinary community, capturing Best in Show at Devour and winning Exceptional Vibe's Soup Fest. She is passionate about creating memorable dining experiences that celebrate seasonal ingredients, bold flavors, and the rich culinary spirit of the Southwest.
