  4. Rank 15992. Aguardente

    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.

  23. 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.

  48. Rank 15992. Bastille

    French

    The awards


  49. 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.

  51. 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.

  52. 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.

  56. Rank 15992. Belmont Food Shop

    Cocktail Bar

    The bar top is salvaged antique wood and marble, and the menu is a chalkboard that changes by the week. 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.

  83. Rank 15992. Brewery Bhavana

    Chinese Beer Bar

    A craft brewery and dim sum restaurant sharing the same address sounds like a dare, but here it works without irony. While you wait for a table, there are 40 rotating drafts and a flower market to keep you occupied. The menu runs from bao and dumplings to Peking duck and steamed whole fish, best navigated with a group and a willingness to order past the point of reason.

  90. The dining room floats right over the water on Harbor Island, close enough that boats drift past mid-meal. This is a California casual restaurant where the menu swings wide, from Wagyu burgers to ahi poke to vegetarian bowls, so a table of four with wildly different appetites will manage just fine. The kitchen leans into fresh seafood and premium cuts, but the room itself is the point, and on a clear San Diego afternoon, it really does carry its weight.

  96. House-made pasta rolled with ham and Swiss cheese sits next to cioppino and a Gorgonzola-sauced filet on a menu that changes daily with the market, which gives this neighborhood Italian cafe a slightly unpredictable charm. The room is small and softly lit, the kind of place that feels cozy rather than cramped. Californian and imported wines are poured at retail prices, so you can also take a bottle home, which regulars apparently do.

          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.
