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...

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.

Fort Lauderdale - River House

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