Fù Huì Huá - San Francisco
One of San Francisco’s hottest reservations serves a unique blend of Chinese and Japanese cuisines. Many delicious dishes and an in-depth commentary make for a compelling experience
Heritage - Long Beach
Californian cuisine and wines served with a welcoming neighborhood vibe. A couple great dishes, while others were a bit light on flavor intensity
715 - Los Angeles
A solid one-Michelin-star omakase, with good sushi, many non-sushi dishes, and no misses among either
Sons & Daughters - San Francisco
Uncompromising “New Nordic” cuisine with many outstanding dishes and great service. Often closer to three stars than its current two
Sorekara - Orlando
A not-very-traditional Japanese restaurant with Western desserts. Surprisingly whimsical, with some very strong dishes and great service. Possibly the best restaurant in Orlando
Camille - Orlando
French cuisine with light Vietnamese touches. Maybe an off day for the restaurant, but this wasn’t as distinctive as we’d hoped
Aubergine - Carmel
Californian cuisine with light Asian touches. Still the best restaurant in the area and a solid two-stars, but our previous visit had been even better
Sushi Sho - New York
Modern Japanese sushi and appetizers, flavorful and delicious, with preparations and cuts rarely seen outside of Japan
Kochi - New York
Elevated (and tasty) Korean cuisine in a casual setting
Per Se - New York
The East Coast twin of The French Laundry sadly didn’t live up to its glory days. Lackluster dishes and service on auto pilot - only the price was worthy of three Michelin stars
Enclos - Sonoma
Californian cuisine with nods to Japan and New England. Impressively consistent for a new two star, with accomplished service
Sun Moon Studio - Oakland
Californian cuisine with Asian influences means several imaginative dishes in one of the Bay Area’s hottest (and smallest) restaurants
Somni - West Hollywood
Modern Spanish cuisine with consistently amazing presentations and a very interactive staff
Providence - Los Angeles
An impressive variety of seafood with diverse preparations made for a delicious meal that had three stars coming for a long time
Atelier Crenn - San Francisco
Californian-French cuisine with lots of seafood, and several dishes bursting with flavors. The menu changed completely since our visit two months ago
Ever - Chicago
Modern American cuisine served in an interior designer’s dream of a fine-dining restaurant. A few exceptional dishes don’t hurt
Oriole - Chicago
Modern American cuisine in a industrial setting with great service. Enjoyable, but missing true standout dishes
Alinea - Chicago
A restaurant that is going for an “experience” rather than a mere dinner. Foodwise, though, this was a far cry from its heydays, and nowhere near its current three stars
Californios - San Francisco
Mexican fine-dining cuisine with local ingredients. Enjoyable, but missing true show-stopper dishes, and a bit repetitive in parts
Atelier Crenn - San Francisco
Seafood-heavy Californian-French cuisine with nicely balanced flavors and a few stellar dishes
