Best of the Beach: Dining
Best Sliders: Hot’s Kitchen
We would tell you what variants of burgers and sliders they serve at Hot’s, but between the time we write it down and you read it things could change a few times.
Best Special Occasion Dinner: Palmilla Cocina y Tequila
They haven’t even been in existence for a full year, but Palmilla has won one of the most coveted awards.
Best Seafood Soup: Fishbar
They make a pretty fantastic clam chowder (winning this year’s Clam Chowder award) and have specials like cioppino, but we’re betting the reason that Fishbar won this category is their salmon chowder.
Best Pizza: Fresh Brothers
Fresh Brothers offers pizza with a thick or thin crust, topped with healthy vegetables or with a vast pile of meat, and of course they offer a variety of sizes from individual to a pie that will feed a small army.
Best Rotisserie Chicken: Poulet du Jour
We don’t know precisely what spices are used to get the flavor so cherished at Poulet du Jour – chefs keep their secrets, and who can blame them?
Best Outdoor Dining: Hennessey’s
We assume Paul Hennessey scouts the locations for his restaurants himself, and from this deduce that the guy has a fine appreciation for lively street environments.
Best Philly Cheese Steak: Big Mike’s
If this was Philadelphia, most of the people you know would have their favorite place to get a Philly cheese steak, with arguments breaking out every time the subject came up.
Best Mexican over $10: Coyote Cantina
The whimsical décor in this restaurant is almost enough reason to visit –wonderfully carved and painted coyotes dance the tango, drive elongated convertibles beneath the full moon, and generally have more fun than your average member of the species canis.
Best Neighborhood Deli: Ashley’s
Delis come in many varieties, from the garlic-scented Italian variety and the German sausagefest to the classic Jewish version complete with more varieties of smoked fish than you knew existed.
Best Mexican under $10: El Gringo
The logo for El Gringo used to be a pasty-faced cowboy; now, it’s a small monkey on a large surfboard.
Best Late Night Eatery: The Kettle
The Kettle’s website refers to the place as “Locally world famous,” and as much of an oxymoron as that might seem, it’s accurate.
Best Mediterranean Restaurant: Mediterraneo
The Mediterranean food category may seem overly broad, as that sea touches on cultures as different as the Greek, Spanish, Lebanese, north African and Italian, and we have restaurants serving all those cuisines in the South Bay.
Best Italian Restaurant under $20: Charlie’s
New York almost qualifies as a region of Italy when it comes to cuisine – one can imagine it midway between Sicily and Rome, the two regions that supplied the most immigrants to America in the 1800s.
Best Indian Restaurant: Akbar
When chef Avinash Kapoor introduced his elegant style of North Indian food to the South Bay nine years ago, a standard was set for the area.
