Rank 39. Bar Bludorn
American
A dark-wood tavern where Chef Aaron Bludorn turns out ricotta-filled beignets topped with Benton's ham and golden-fried half chickens designed for sharing. The open kitchen gleams under spotlights, service strikes an easy balance between attentive and casual, and the menu—pasta, steaks, warm devil's food cake—prioritizes flavor over pretense. Comfort cooking executed with genuine confidence.
