Pick a City---Name the Best Restaurant
 

I'm always curious to know the best restaurants in cities around the country... Where's the best eats in your city or favorite vacation spot?... I'm already licking my chops... Thanks!!!

Savannah - Pink House

Houston (so far) - Truluck's
for steak and stone crab

Vietnamese - Ba Tho on Bellaire and Cali Sandwiches downtown

Mexican - Las Alamedas on Katy Freeway
Hands down!!

Italian - I am still on the hunt! I like Tony Mandola's.

I have not been all that impressed with the Pappa's chains so far...

I'll add Mark's on Westheimer in Houston. :)

Dayton, Ohio -- The Pine Club.

Cincinnati -- The Mainsonette.

Minneapolis: Levain

Maui (know it's not a city) - Mama's Fish House

Philadephia - The Fountain

Buffalo, NY - Buffalo Chophouse

Washington, DC - Kinkead's

Naples, FL - Campiello's

Toronto, ONT - Sassafraz

Volcano, Big Island - Thai Thai

Milwaukee--Sanford's

Charleston, SC - take your pick!

Seattle - The Herbfarm

Washington, DC -- Citronelle

Chicago -- Rosebud on Rush

NY -- L'Autece (sp?)

New York - for a special occasion = Babbo, hands down. For a meal only a true carnivore can love = Peter Luger's. For "classic New York dining" = Gotham Bar & Grill. For an everyday neighborhood place with my family = Gennaro's.

So subjective, but I will give my favorites in NYC:
Babbo
Four Seasons
Le Bernadine
Danube
Bouley
Nobu

Fort Lauderdale - River House

And, sorry, I just can't agree about Sassafraz in Toronto. Maybe Scaramouche.
