  1. Top Hatters Kitchen

    Vietnamese-Californian New American

    The lush courtyard patio in a quiet San Leandro neighborhood is reason enough to seek this place out, but the kitchen delivers the follow-through. A Vietnamese-Californian restaurant born from a former hat shop, with cocktail names still nodding to millinery, it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The chef and co-owner built her reputation slinging Italian zeppoles from a food truck, and that playful instinct runs through every dish on the menu.

    Two honors, in evidence:
