While I haven't eaten at every tested standby or all the newest up & comers, I've been to many restaurants and this list contains places I've visited and feel are worth the time & effort. Crossing by neighborhood & meal type makes a handy guide.
Obviously there are some neighborhoods that I've spent more time exploring, but I do believe it also reflects the quality of food in some areas vs. others. I also fully recognize that some of my neighborhood designations are a little off, but I'll take fewer columns over being perfectly specific. Be sure to scroll all the way to the right for a group of "all other" spots.
Lastly, the occasion groupings are not strict in any way; just my judgments. Food, atmosphere, wait time / reservations, expense, etc., all weigh in.
Enjoy!
