    Pacific Northwest

    The awards


  3. A ceiling mural of blue sky and clouds floats over white-tableclothed dining rooms spread across two floors, one block off the Magnificent Mile. This is a classic Italian-American restaurant, the kind where portions arrive larger than any reasonable person expected and the housemade pasta makes that very easy to forgive. Roasted chicken Vesuvio with red potatoes and white wine sauce is the move for the old-school contingent. Relaxed, prompt, and reliably generous.

  12. Sushi and sake in the middle of Ybor City's nightlife district is an interesting choice, but the mix works. This is a sit-down sushi and sake bar where specialty rolls get plated with enough care that you notice, and the sake list is long enough to require some guidance. The vibe leans refined without asking you to dress for it, which suits the neighborhood's general disposition toward a good time over formality.

  15. The pizza dough ferments for 48 hours before it ever sees a oven, which tells you where this Italian restaurant's priorities lie. Tucked into a shopping center in Mount Pleasant, Savi runs lunch casual, sandwiches and salads and those pizzas, then shifts gears at dinner into pastas, steaks, and seafood. The wine list is the other serious thing here, and happy hour gives you a reasonable excuse to find out.

  24. Rank 13325. Seed Kitchen & Bar

    Contemporary American

    The covered patio next to the bar is where Marietta regulars tend to settle in for the long haul. This neighborhood American restaurant runs a seasonal menu built around local and organic sourcing, which in practice means dishes like miso maple-glazed scallops and lavender honey duck breast sharing space with a chicken schnitzel that apparently nobody can leave without ordering. Servers know the menu well enough to actually help. A comfortable, unhurried room without any pretense about it.

  46. Rank 13325. Steelbach

    Southern

    The dining room occupies what was once the Tampa Electrical Company's main offices, and the bare industrial bones are still very much the point. It's a Southern steakhouse where the grill runs on mesquite and oak, and the beef comes from a dedicated partnership with a local rancher, grass-fed and grain-finished for the house. The composed plates are solid, but most tables are here for the steaks, and the provenance makes them easy to argue for.

  87. Warm wood, trailing greenery, and eclectic art give this California casual restaurant on Coronado's main drag the feel of a neighborhood spot that has figured out exactly what it wants to be. The menu leans heavily vegetarian without making a point of it, and the staff steers you toward good choices rather than just reciting them. It holds a AAA Three Diamond rating, which is a lot for a place where you can order an artichoke dip and feel right at home.

          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.
