  6. Rank 14514. 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.

  13. 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.

  19. 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.

  25. The spit-roasted meats are the whole point here, anchored by a prime rib that arrives with potato rösti and fermented horseradish. Camden Spit & Larder is a modern British restaurant on Capitol Mall, where the kitchen pairs California farm ingredients with a distinctly London sensibility. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a busy bar give the room more energy than the average downtown lunch spot tends to manage.

  31. Rank 14514. Capriccio

    Northern Italian

    Steak Diane finished tableside, crepes flambé lit to order, and a cognac list long enough to require its own evening: Capriccio has been doing Providence fine dining the old-fashioned way for a long time. The room is tucked into a building's basement, all exposed brick, candlelight, and white linen, which sounds like a cliche until you're actually in it. Continental and Northern Italian, semi-formal, and absolutely not the place to rush.

  42. Rank 14514. Catch 110

    Seafood

    Rope and weathered wood set the nautical tone at this casual seafood restaurant a block from the water in downtown Biloxi. The menu casts wide, running from fresh catch and fried oysters to steaks and pasta, with Asian sticky ribs turning up as a crowd-pleasing starter. Asparagus au gratin is the kind of side dish that ends arguments. Weekend brunch runs both Saturday and Sunday for anyone easing into the Gulf Coast morning slowly.

  66. Tucked into the ground floor of the Drake hotel in Oak Brook, COA is a Spanish restaurant where the kitchen splits its attention between tapas, paella, and prime cuts for anyone who wandered in expecting a steakhouse. The vibe shifts noticeably after dark, when the music climbs, the cocktails multiply, and the dining room starts feeling more like a party someone forgot to end.

  72. Barrels and wine bottles line the walls here, and the shop and tasting bar out front make clear that wine is the whole point. Cooper's Hawk is a full-service American restaurant with a globally roaming menu, the kind of place suburban date-nighters discover and then return to every few weeks. The food swings from Asian-inflected starters to churrasco and braised short ribs, with pasta filling the middle ground for anyone who can't decide.

  75. Afternoon tea inside the Boston Public Library, served in a courtyard ringed by marble arcades and a fountain that makes the city feel very far away. Scones, clotted cream, and a curated tea list arrive with the kind of unhurried service that suits the setting. It draws a pleasingly mixed crowd of locals playing tourist for an afternoon and actual tourists doing the same thing, which makes it hard to feel self-conscious.

    The awards


  76. Coastal American food inside a Galleria shopping mall is a proposition that sounds like a dare, but the cocktail list alone gives this casual dinner spot some credibility. The signature Old Fashioned and an espresso martini anchor a wide beverage menu, and the room catches the sunset at exactly the right angle. Boutique retail is a few steps away, which explains the after-shopping crowd settling in for something more than a snack.

  92. There's an enigmatic clock mounted across from the bar that has puzzled guests for decades, and the staff aren't telling. Dobson's is a French restaurant with old-school gravitas, the kind of place where business lunches stretch longer than planned and the mussel bisque is treated as a point of civic pride. Duck à l'orange and grilled lamb chops round out a menu that hasn't chased trends and seems quietly satisfied about it.

  97. Dress code enforced, portions sized for sharing, and a dining room that leans into Old World Spanish formality with enough commitment to make Newark feel briefly far away. This is a long-running Spanish restaurant where seafood paella and shellfish casserole anchor a menu built around generous plates of fresh seafood and steak. The kind of place where the garlic shrimp arrives without irony and regulars know better than to show up in sneakers.

          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.
