Rank 14. Patty O’s Cafe
European
A converted garage now houses Patrick O'Connell's casual cafe, where a shaved ham and Comté sandwich on a pillowy onion roll arrives with the same precision he brought to his acclaimed inn. Country chic interiors—marble bar, beamed ceiling, fireplace—frame a menu that shifts from midday lightness to beef Bourguignon at night, all anchored by a bakery turning out bourbon chocolate pecan pie.

Rank 65. Kappo
Wagyu Omakase Japanese
Descend into Chef Minoru Ogawa's sunken dining room, where a spare counter overlooks an exacting kitchen. The eight-course omakase weaves wagyu—lightly seared tataki in egg yolk sauce, toro balanced against garlic ponzu—with pristine seafood, finishing with a miso soup that lands like comfort. Refined without pretense.
