Most of these restaurants are not new, only new to me in 2010.
5) Oceanaire – This is a late entry. Great service, great food, sustainable sea bass – what more do you need? How about a flight of oysters. Yeah, it’s a chain, but so is Morton’s. If a chain can maintain a high level of food quality and service it’s going to get much love from me.
4) Pink Door – I know the food was good here and there was a chick on a trapeze. But dinner here will always be remembered for meeting the boisterous Claire and her stories of getting high and stealing a pizza oven.
3) The Farm Café – The restaurant that provided the finest dessert (Blackberry bread pudding) and the finest wine (Love & Squalor Pinot Noir) of 2010. The rest of the food was top notch and their Veggie hamburger was on The Best Thing I’ve Ever Eaten as that pie faced cake maker’s favorite burger.
2) Elliot’s Oyster House – Quite simply the tastiest oysters ever along with other treats from the sea. Almost as impressive as the food is the knowledge of the waitstaff.
1) Uchi/Uchiko – Although overall I prefer Uchi to Uchiko, I lumped them together. Once I win the lottery, I’ll be going a lot more. Three of my top 10 dishes are from the geniuses behind these restaurants.
