  3. The oak grill has been running at Walt's Wharf since before Seal Beach had a Yelp page, and the menu reads like someone actually cares where the fish came from. This is a sit-down seafood restaurant with a serious California sensibility: local catch, local vegetables, and wines from the founding family's own vineyard poured alongside. The room draws regulars who come for the grilled trout and stay for the oysters, and nobody's in a hurry to leave.

  6. Water Grill is an upscale seafood restaurant in the Gaslamp, where live tanks of lobster and crab sit in the dining room like a very polite audition. The leather booths and nautical wood paneling suggest a nice dinner, not a casual one. The oyster list pulls from across the country and into Mexico, and whole fish come charcoal-grilled or oven-roasted. It holds AAA's Three Diamonds, so a collared shirt wouldn't hurt.

  19. Rank 11882. Yanni's Bar & Grill

    Mediterranean

    A neighborhood Mediterranean grill in Scripps Ranch where the wine list runs from rare cellar vintages to a house label the owner bottles himself in Fallbrook. The menu moves through steaks, lamb, fresh seafood, and chicken, and the service team treats tables like a dinner party they threw. The kind of place where regulars have a standing order and out-of-towners wonder how they've never heard of it.

    The awards


  21. Rank 11882. Zinnia

    Seasonal American

    Garden vegetables grown on the property turn up in dishes that change with the seasons at this full-service American restaurant in Silver Spring. The building has been around forever, and the vaulted ceilings and outdoor garden, complete with private nooks, give the space a slightly romantic, old-estate feel that the cocktail list works hard to keep casual. House-made desserts close things out.

  23. Maynard James Keenan, the Tool frontman, makes wine in Arizona, and Merkin Vineyards is where you can eat alongside it. The trattoria pairs Italian-leaning dishes with the estate's bottles, including the Chupacabra red blend, a grenache-mourvèdre-syrah that shifts slightly vintage to vintage, like its shapeshifting namesake. The 2023 took Phoenix New Times' top Arizona red. It's the kind of place that makes the whole "rock star winemaker" premise feel less gimmicky than it sounds.


  24. Peticolas runs a split-level taproom out of an industrial building in West Dallas, with English, Irish, and Scottish-style ales brewed on-site. It's a semi-official FC Dallas supporters' bar, showing everything from Champions League to regional Mexican matches, which explains the noise level on a Tuesday. When there's nothing on the screens, the upstairs has foosball, ping pong, and shuffleboard to fill the gap.



  25. A wristband taps to your credit card at check-in so you never fish out your wallet again, which is either clever hospitality or a mild threat depending on your willpower. Number Thirty Eight is a vast indoor-outdoor beer hall where stalls run by Colorado breweries, cideries, wineries, and distilleries line the walls, the patio is dog-friendly, and Split Lip handles the burgers. Westword named it the city's best free entertainment.

  32. The pizza here is long, rectangular, and crust-heavy enough that it reads more like an open-faced sandwich than a pie, which tells you something about the kitchen's priorities. Sacro Bosco is an Italian-leaning dinner spot sharing space with Temple Pastries, and chef Christina Wood brings an almost artistic fussiness to a small, seasonal menu. The housemade ricotta alone has been called one of Seattle's best bites this year, and looking at the plate, you'd believe it.

  33. The bagel shop in University Village that refuses to slice, toast, or schmear anything, full stop. The chef rolls and bakes throughout the day, so there's almost always something warm coming out, crackly on the outside and just chewy enough inside. Cream cheese arrives on the side for ripping and dipping. If you want a sandwich, three other bagel spots are nearby, and Hey Bagel seems fine letting you go find one.

  52. Rank 12538. Maie Day

    Steakhouse

    Inside the South Congress Hotel, Maie Day is a steakhouse in the way a band covers a song, recognizable but slightly, pleasingly off. The chef behind Olamaie runs this one, and the menu leans on shareable plates, seafood-forward starters, and cuts that stray from the usual canon, a whiskey-brined pork chop, a chicken fried steak with peppery white gravy. The room is festive in the non-embarrassing sense, and the blooming onion is back, earnestly.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
