  4. Rank 13305. Mr. H

    Modern Chinese

    A golden dragon centerpiece anchors the dining room at this upscale Chinese restaurant in the Seaport, where the lighting is dramatic enough to make you feel like the evening has stakes. The menu leans into creative dim sum, lacquered duck, and fresh seafood, with cocktails chosen to keep pace. It runs late, which earns it points in a neighborhood that often doesn't.


  5. Rank 13305. Orange Sky

    Seafood

    Floor-to-ceiling windows on the 15th floor of Talking Stick Resort frame 360-degree views of the Salt River valley, best caught as the McDowell Mountains go gold at dusk. This is a splurge-night-out seafood and steakhouse, the kind where you arrive early to claim a spot on the deck and watch hawks work the thermals. The lounge lets you keep the view without committing to the full tab.

  16. Wolfgang Puck's steakhouse inside the Four Seasons Downtown plays against the Manhattan steakhouse template, swapping dark wood and power-broker gravity for modern art and a lounge soundtrack that makes the room feel closer to a dinner party than a boardroom. The menu runs USDA prime, Wagyu, and grass-fed Angus alongside Maine lobster and sashimi, which is either a refreshing detour or a distraction, depending on your theology.

  18. Dungeon masters run scheduled D&D nights here, but the tabletop games, rotating support groups, and writers' meetups make this cozy Tempe coffee shop feel more like a community center that happens to pull excellent espresso. The decor leans Oz, the music leans groovy, and the crowd leans toward people who are relieved to have found it. Phoenix New Times named it the best LGBTQ game night in the valley.

  21. Rank 13325. 1 Nocello

    Italian

    A small, family-run Italian trattoria a short walk from Carnegie Hall, where regulars get greeted by name and the menu shifts daily around house-made pastas and fresh grilled fish. The room has the kind of unhurried, personal energy that midtown Manhattan mostly stopped producing a generation ago. Prices stay reasonable, the service is warm without being performative, and some of the clientele treat it as an annual pilgrimage.

    Steakhouse

    The awards


  28. A neighborhood bar and grill housed in a refurbished firehouse in St. Paul's West Seventh corridor, which gives the room more bones than most places trying to cultivate a "local watering hole" feeling. The menu runs American comfort, with a French onion steak sandwich doing a lot of the heavy lifting alongside a burger that locals seem to take personally. The bar handles cocktails, mocktails, and coffee drinks without making you feel like you have to pick a lane.

    The awards


  29. Jean-Georges Vongerichten's farm-to-table restaurant sits inside the ABC Carpet & Home store in the Flatiron, which is either charming or a bit much depending on your tolerance for browsing reclaimed furniture before dinner. The menu is strictly seasonal and organic, rotating through whole wheat pizzas, house-made pastas, and whatever the market decided that week. Brunch draws a crowd that takes their doughnuts very seriously.

    Contemporary Latin American

    Industrial bones warmed up with wood and bright Latin American art set the tone at this Fox Point restaurant, where the menu roams from Guatemalan to Portuguese without much apology for the mileage. The bar runs lively, the small plates change with the seasons, and the paella arrives with enough shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, and chouriço to make ordering anything else feel like a mistake you'd regret quietly.

  52. The leather banquettes and high ceilings in this South End bistro are doing real work, making a Tremont Street dining room feel like something off a Parisian side street. It's a proper French bistro, the kind that does steak frites and sea scallops on a menu that takes no wild swings. The wine list leans France and California, and the servers actually know it. Weekday lunch and weekend brunch round out a place that fills up like it's been the neighborhood's open secret for years.

  78. Vines and trees cover nearly every inch of the interior, so dining here feels less like a restaurant and more like a very well-catered greenhouse. The menu leans into New England's coast, with a sustainable raw bar as the natural starting point before moving to shared plates built around seasonal vegetables and regional proteins. Weekend brunch draws a crowd that suggests the neighborhood has figured something out.

  80. You walk in through a pawn shop, which is either the best possible metaphor for Las Vegas or an accurate description of the door. Past it is a loud, candlelit American share-plates restaurant where the menu roams from raw bar to prime meats to toasts piled with things like lobster and caviar. Cocktails are a serious part of the evening. The room is built for a group with nowhere to be tomorrow.

    The awards


  81. A second-floor Mediterranean restaurant in Del Mar with just enough ocean peeking through to feel intentional. The menu runs from Spanish octopus to braised osso buco and lamb chops, with creative vegetarian options keeping things from feeling too carnivore-coded. Lunch, brunch, and dinner are all on offer, and the churros filled with vanilla cream are the kind of dessert that makes you order one more round of wine to justify it.

This intimate neighborhood restaurant in a historic space runs on local seafood, beef, and game, with a roast chicken that regulars treat as non-negotiable. The staff, many of them art students, walk you through whatever the kitchen is doing that evening. A good place to go without a plan.

          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.
