    Mediterranean







  7. Rank 33. Preserve

    American

    A small Annapolis dining room built around pickling and fermentation, which sounds like a thesis until the food arrives. The roast chicken is beautifully bronzed, the steak-frites comes with kimchi-beef jus, and the crab salad on hash browns is the kind of thing that makes you forgive everyone their restaurant concepts. The bar earns equal attention. A Washingtonian top-100 pick.


  8. Rank 37. Peter Chang

    Creative Chinese












  9. Rank 48. Ananda

    Modern Indian



  10. Rank 48. Cinghiale

    Italian





  11. Rank 48. Linwoods

    Modern New American



  12. Rank 48. Peerce's

    Modern Indian
